Product description

Features
• • Beat creation software combining elements from analog drum machines, sample based beat boxes and physical modeling
  • Audio engine contains multiple synthesis modes - sample engine, multiple physical models, and a modular, virtual analog drum synthesizer
  • TAE (True Analog Emulation) synthesis for creating the sounds of classic analog synthesizers
  • The modular synthesizer can be used to create a vast array of sounds including, kick drums, snares, hats, cymbals, as well as more traditional synthesizer sounds using:
    
    
    • Up to nine variable shape VA oscillators
    • Up to four 8-mode filters
    • Up to six envelopes
    • Up to two LFOs
    • Up to four mixers
    • Up to two ring modulators
    • Up to two CV modulators
    • Up to two Karplus Strong based filters
    • Stereo filter
    • Spring Mass physical modeling engine
    
    
  • The modular synthesizer contains six assignable macros knobs which allow for controlling multiple aspects of the sound in real time - for each macro four parameters can be assigned from any of the modules within a patch, as well as determining the minimum and maximum values the parameter can take
  • Song mode allows for organizing patterns into up to sixteen color-coded mini songs, each up to eight patterns long Allows for simple visualizing of the various sections of a song (intro chorus, verse, breakdown) Dedicated buttons can trigger mini songs in any order for creating on-the-fly remixes
  • Interface has been organized to make it as user friendly as possible by placing all the major features at the user's fingertips
  • Tabbed layout drastically reduces scrolling and provides the user with faster access to all features
  • Supports REX files - import a REX file and split the slices across the sixteen pads, or use single pad playback for live looping possibilities
  • Samples and REX files can be used as sources for the modular synthesizer
  • Built-in step sequencer
  • Mixer provides a familiar interface for controlling the level, pan, insert effects and sends of instruments with each of these parameters automatable in the pattern page

  • Automation input is available using the XY pad or the Pencil and Line tools in the pattern/automation page
  • All instrument and effect parameters from the inserts can be automated
  • Each track of the step sequencer allows for fifteen different parameters to be automated per instrument plus full automation of all the insert effects parameters for that given instrument
  • Functions standalone or as a plug-in within a host sequencer
  • Plug-in use supports sixteen audio outputs that can be routed and assigned within the host
  • Import AIFF, WAV, MIDI and REX2 files
  • Simple drag and drop export of patterns in WAV format, as well as MIDI sequence formats into a DAW
