Synthesis
Nepheton contains 17 fully synthesized instruments perfectly emulating the
famous 808 drum machine. All the nuances and details of the instruments
sounds are captured perfectly. The instruments models are equipped with
additional controls giving you possibility to tweak the sound much better.
Listen to the audio examples or just download the demo and try it out.
Outputs
Nepheton has a flexible output configuration. Every instrument's audio
signal can be routed to any of the 17 outputs. This allows users to further
shape sounds individually or in groups via their favourite plug-ins. Each
individual output can be set to mono or stereo. For the greatest 808 fans
we've added also original Trigger output (configurable as well). Every
instrument also has a Mute, Solo button and Activity led. Mute will not
just silence the sound, it will stop the sound being triggered. Solo will
stop all other instruments from being triggered and only allow the selected
sound(s) to play.
Control
Nepheton has extensive midi control. Midi notes can be used to trigger each
individual sound. Alternatively, the internal sequencer can be used. This
can be set to play using Nepheton's internal clock or set to synchronize
perfectly to the host sequencer. Most of Nepheton's parameters can be
automated within the host and also controlled using MidiCC with an external
controller. An easy-to-use Midi Learn function allows reassignment of any
of the parameters.
Internal Sequencer
Internal sequencer's memory contains two banks of patterns: simple and
extended. There is 16 extended and 96 simple patterns which both can be
edited traditionally using the step buttons or using the tap function.
Simple patterns are used in Host Mode where each pattern location has a
midi note number assigned to it. With these notes you can control freely
the order of played patterns. Extended pattern differs from the simple one
in it has 4 segments (variation A/B and part 1/2). The whole bank of 16
extended patterns is divided into two groups of Basic Patterns and
Intro/Fill In Patterns. You can choose freely from played patterns, used
variations, and fill in modes (triggered automatically or manually). It
also can be defined whether the starting pattern should be preceded by
introduction pattern and many many more. Extended patterns are used when
Host Mode is off. A Randomizer function is also provided within the
internal sequencer. It can be used to make simple changes to a pattern or
create a whole new one - ideal when your creativity needs a boost!
Randomizing can be applied to specific instruments and the frequency of
occurrence can also be adjusted easily to give you just the right amount.
All external files are stored in the XML format. This allows single
patterns or whole banks to be exchanged between users easily. XML allows
the files to be edited in a text editor. Ideal if you want to post or share
a pattern on a web site - just post the text!
