OVERVIEW

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 — not just an update but a reimagining of what a drum sequencer can be.

At the heart of Axon 3 is an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) sequencer, a core of seven interconnected neurons, each capable of firing a trigger event forward, backward, or in both directions. The connections between these neurons are the building blocks of a rhythm sequencer unlike any other. With a dash of probability, Axon 3 introduces a drum programming style that is utterly unique.

Each neuron comes equipped with a powerhouse synth voice, drawing on 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 your next IDM masterpiece, scoring a film, or exploring new sonic territories, Axon 3 is your co-pilot.

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 presets.
