D16 Group Nithonat Drum Machine 606 Emulation Software, Electronic Download

Emulated classic 606 enhanced with extra functionality. Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. The unique sound of this machine has been used by many artists over the years in the production of Electro, Hip-Hop and R n B. The original 606 has been perfectly emulated. However, since Nithonat is software based, D16 were able to enhance the original with extra functionality.

• Fully synthesized drum sounds
• Additional parameters to get yet more control over the sound
• Mutes/solos for each instrument (affect triggering not just the signal)
• Dynamic signal routing from instruments to outputs
• Drum kits organized into groups
• Midi learn function
• 64bit internal processing

Internal Sequencer
• 8 banks with 12 patterns per bank
• Each pattern up to 16 steps of length
• Each pattern defined with one of four available measures
• Shuffle mode
• Trigger out
• Global accent track
• Tap mode
• Chain mode
• Shuffle (swing) and tempo values defined per pattern
• Built in randomizer
• Patterns import/export via human readable xml files

Two Modes of Synchronization
• Precise synchronization to the host tempo
• Synchronization to internal clock - tempo controlled in the range 30-300 BPM (+-0.1)

Many Ways of Controlling the Device
• External mode (notes triggering the sounds)
• internal sequencer (pattern mode)

Perfect Emulation
Nithonat brings fully synthesized drum machine and perfect emulation of classic 606 silver box.

Internal Sequencer
Straightforward and efficient drum line editing using built-in sequencer equipped within many useful edit functions.

Creative Randomizer
Ideal when your creativity needs a boost! Randomizing can be applied to specific instruments and the frequency of occurrence. Can also be adjusted easily.

Full Control Over The Sound
On the original 606, the only editable sound parameter was volume. D16 have added to the original and as a result, Nithonat is equipped with extra controls which allow each sound to be shaped in ways which were not possible in the original machine.

A whole spectrum of sounds is now at you fingertips - rumbling kicks, rustling snares and completely synthesized and unnatural sounding toms and hi-hats. For the first time since the 80s, it is now possible to hear what the analog synthesis of the 606 is truly capable off!

One of a Kind
Nithonat was designed completely from the ground up. Its synthesis is special - even when compared to Nepheton's. It has very unique and characteristic hi-hat and cymbal sounds which are due to the emulated structure of the circuits in the original. The bass drum has unparalleled attack character and strong punch. The snare sounds sandy.

These unique attributes guarantee that their 606 is not a sub-standard 808 but is a great instrument with a unique timbre which will bring an old school feel to any track it is used on.

New Dimension of Creativity
Nithonat has a powerful built-in internal sequencer. The tracks can be edited in a very simple and intuitive way and modified with many useful functions. The clear GUI means that sequencer is very easy to use. In addition to having many internal sequencer modes, Nithonat can also be used as a sound module. All sounds and functions within Nithonat can be controlled from a host sequencer.

Experimenting with Nithonat can give interesting and unexpected results. Operation of Nithonat is very similar to Drumazon and Nepheton - having knowledge of these will mean that using Nithonat will not require much manual reading!
