D16 Group Nithonat (Digitaalinen tuote)

Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. Its unique sound has snuck its way over the years into productions spanning Electro, Hip-Hop, R n’ B and Pop. Here at D16 they re-created a legend with virtual perfection, and then expanded on it with essential features, exclusive to Nithonat.
On the original 606, the only sound parameter was volume. In order for it to stand up to the flexibility of its bigger siblings (Ie the 808 and 909), they implemented extra controls which allow each sound to be shaped in ways never before accomplished by the original.
A whole spectrum of sounds is now at you fingertips – rumbling kicks, barky snares and completely unique, ear-grabbing toms and hi-hats. For the first time since its release in the 80s, you can explore what the 606 would have truly been capable of!
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 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.
Nithonat was designed from the ground up not only as a 1-to-1 emulator but as a standalone instrument in its own right. Its synthesis is quite special – even compared to other offerings such as Nepheton. Its quirky , characteristic hi-hat and cymbal sounds come from emulating the exact structure of the original circuits.
