Subtractive synthesis module of percussive MIDI controllable rack. The idea is to organize sets of instruments and sets user to edit individual sounds with elements of conventional synthesis: delay, velocity curve, envelope filter and volume, lowpass filter, autobend, pitch, form wave.

UTILIZATION

Use simple basic. Editing sounds is a bit tedious (programming through some controls facade) but the manual is very clear. I use it with Ableton.

SOUNDS

I often use sounds from the module. My favorites are the kicks and typed industrial metal sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this stuff and a Roland R8 for the bulk of my percussive parts. I do not part with it. The sounds are deep and can pierce any mix.
