PLEASE READ: AXON 3 IS NOT A STAND-ALONE APP. IT IS AN AUv3 PLUGIN AND DOES NOTHING WITHOUT A HOST DAW. IT REQUIRES LOGIC, GARAGEBAND, CUBASIS, AUM, OR SIMILAR HOST APPS TO WORK. A drum sequencer that thinks outside the box, where each beat is a live wire, sparking and connecting to create a rhythm that's alive. That's Axon 3 for you - not just an update but a complete overhaul of our legendary Axon series. This isn't your ordinary drum machine; it's a sonic adventure, blending the familiar with the futuristic. At the heart of Axon 3 lies a sequencer inspired by the complex workings of artificial neural networks. Picture neurons, buzzing with energy, passing triggers in a dance of precision and chaos. When a neuron hits its trigger threshold, it doesn't just respond; it sings, through its internal synth voice, sends a pulse out into the MIDI universe, or both. The connections between these neurons aren't random; they're the building blocks of a rhythm sequencer unlike any. And with a dash of probability magic, we've introduced a drum programming style that's utterly unique. But that's not all. Each neuron in Axon 3 comes equipped with a powerhouse of a synth voice, drawing on the best of both subtractive and FM synthesis, supercharged with a model inspired by our Boomtschack analog hardware drum module. Axon 3 wraps all this rhythmic innovation in a sleek interface complete with a full mixer, crystalline delay, punchy compressor, and multiple outputs. Whether you're crafting yout next IDM masterpiece, scoring a film, or just exploring new sonic territories, Axon 3 is your co-pilot in this thrilling journey into sound. So, are you ready to break the rhythm barrier? Welcome to Axon 3. CHANGES FROM VERSION 2 • Greatly expanded synthesizer voice, with a full model of our Boomtschack analog drum synthesizer hardware (RIP). • Pitch and scale quantizing of the internal synthesizer voices, for easier melodic programming. • Extensive randomizer for changing some or all parameters. • Cymbal oscillator from Tattoo added to noise section. • Rough Rider compressor added to master output. • Likelihood of trigger event and ratcheting added to sequencer, to greatly expand the rhythmic potential. FEATURES • Artificial Neural Network sequencer features seven neurons, and is easily programmed to create strange new repeating rhythms. • Seven FM/VA percussion voices that also buss together to create a single monolithic complex percussion synthesizer, via AM and FM busses. • Full mixer with pan, level, mute, and solo on each voice. • Built-in stereo delay, for live playability. • Built-in Rough Rider compressor on the main outputs. • MIDI in and out, for driving Axon's voices from DAW and hardware sequencers, or driving other software and hardware from Axon. • Internal transport for non-synchronized playback. • Resizable vector-based user interface. • XML-based cross-platform, human-readable preset system, with copy/paste, for easy transferring of your own presets and third-party offerings.
