CRT-4

• You play nine consoles, from the Atari 2600 and C64 to the SNES, PlayStation and N64, each with its own sounds.
• Every console gives you two drum kits and sixteen sounds: four basses, four keys, four leads and four of its own.
• Track 1 holds the drums and tracks 2, 3 and 4 play the console's sounds with its echo or reverb.
• You write sixteen-step patterns live with REC, step by step, or by pressing the white keys as steps.
• Patterns chain up to 64 long, and sixteen chords chain alongside them, one each time a pattern starts.
• Hold FX and a white key for repeats, stutter, reverse, fills, solos, fades and more, written in as you play.
• Each console keeps its own song, saved by itself a few seconds after you stop, or at once with SAVE.
