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!
