Audio Damage AD057 Axon 3 v3.0.14

A drum sequencer that thinks outside the box, where each beat is a living string, glowing and connecting to create a vibrant rhythm. That's Axon 3 for you - not just an update but a complete upgrade of our legendary Axon line. This is not your ordinary drum machine; it's a sonic adventure, blending the familiar with the futuristic.

At the heart of Axon 3 is a sequencer inspired by the complex workings of artificial neural networks. Imagine neurons, bursting with energy, transmitting triggers in a dance of precision and chaos. When a neuron reaches its firing threshold, it doesn't just respond; it sings, either through an internal synthesized voice, sends a pulse into the MIDI universe, or both. The connections between these neurons are not random; they are the building blocks of a rhythm sequencer unlike any other. And with a little probability magic, we've introduced a completely unique style of drum programming.

Main features:

• The artificial neural network sequencer has seven neurons and is easily programmed to generate novel repeating rhythms.
• Seven FM/VA percussion voices also combine to create a single monolithic complex percussion synthesizer via the AM and FM buses.
• Full mixer with pan, balance, mute and solo functions for each voice.
• Built-in stereo delay, allowing you to play directly.
• Integrated Rough Rider compressor on main output.
• MIDI in and out to control Axon's voice from a DAW and hardware sequencer, or control other software and hardware from Axon.
• Internal transport for asynchronous playback.
• Scalable vector-based user interface.
• XML-based, human-readable, cross-platform preset system with copy/paste functionality, for easy transfer of your own presets and third-party services.

But that's not all. Every neuron in Axon 3 is equipped with a synthetic voice power source, based on the best FM synthesis and synthesizer capabilities, supercharged with modeling inspired by hardware drum modules Similar to our Boomtschack.

Axon 3 packs all this rhythmic innovation in a sleek interface complete with a full mixer, crystal delay, powerful compressor, and multiple outputs. Whether you're creating your next IDM masterpiece, scoring a movie, or just exploring new audio territories, Axon 3 will be your companion on your thrilling journey into audio.
