Its seven sample-based voices let you build kits from the factory library or record your own sounds through the built-in microphone or line input. Each voice has a dedicated level control, and the step sequencer adds microtiming, ratchets, probability and parameter locks to patterns up to 64 steps long. The built-in speaker lets you sketch beats without a mixer, while stereo and headphone outputs suit studio practice and performance. MIDI and CV\/Gate connections let you bring external synthesizers into the same arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven sample-based voices with individual level controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven factory sample banks by Richie Hawtin and the Erica Synths team\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e64 MB total sample memory and up to 16 banks for user samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in microphone and line input for recording samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSample shaping with pitch, decay, loop point, filter cutoff, resonance, overdrive and stereo pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eX0X-style sequencer with step and tap entry and up to 64 steps per pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRatchets, rolls, probability, microtiming and parameter automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMemory for 64 patterns and 64 kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCV\/Gate sequencer with 1 V\/octave pitch control for compatible synthesizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDIN MIDI In and Out, USB-C MIDI and memory backup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in speaker, stereo main output and 3.5 mm headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminium desktop enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesktop Sampling Drum Machine and CV\/Gate Sequencer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDevelopment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErica Synths and Richie Hawtin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSound Engine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 Sample-Based Voices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory Library\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 Banks of 32 Samples\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUser Sample Storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 16 Banks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Sample Memory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 MB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSampling Sources\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-In Microphone and External Line Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequencer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 64 Steps, with Step and Tap Entry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePattern Memory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Banks × 16 Patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit Memory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Banks × 16 Kits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal Synth Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePitch CV (1 V\/Octave) and Gate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMIDI and Backup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN MIDI In and Out; USB-C for MIDI and Memory Backup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio Monitoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStereo Main Output, 3.5 mm Headphone Output and Built-In Speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal 12 V DC Power Adapter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W × D × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e405 × 185 × 60 mm, Including Knobs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × Universal 12 V DC power adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUser manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Tools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStart with the factory samples to learn how a pattern is built.

Use the line input to capture a chord stab, drum hit or sustained note from an external instrument and turn it into part of the kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGive a single sample several roles. Tune it down for a heavier accent, shorten its decay for a tight rhythmic hit or use filtering and overdrive to help it cut through the rest of the pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse parameter locks to change individual hits without altering the whole voice. Pan a percussion accent to one side or change the pitch of the final hit in a bar to make a turnaround stand out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse microtiming to move a clap slightly behind the beat or push a hi-hat ahead. Add ratchets for quick repeats and set probability on less prominent hits so the groove varies as it loops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSave patterns and kits separately so you can try the same rhythm with different sounds. Prepare alternate patterns for a live set, then use mutes and rolls to create transitions as you play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSequence a compatible synthesizer through the pitch CV and gate outputs.
