FULL INFO BELOW:

A drum sequencer that thinks outside the box, where each beat is a live wire, sparking and connecting to create a rhythm thats alive. Thats Axon 3 for you - not just an update but a complete overhaul of our legendary Axon series. This isnt your ordinary drum machine; its 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 doesnt just respond; it sings, through its internal synth voice, sends a pulse out into the MIDI universe, or both. The connections between these neurons arent random; theyre the building blocks of a rhythm sequencer unlike any. And with a dash of probability magic, weve introduced a drum programming style thats utterly unique.

But thats 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 youre 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.
