Daurade

• Press PLAY and four parts run together: a filtered chord loop, bass, lead hook and very crisp drums.
• Ten styles across CHROME and SESSION each bring their own tempo, sounds, key, chord loop, groove and space.
• ALGORITHM picks a new song in the same style, and the same number always brings that song back.
• Four knobs steer everything live: SWEEP opens the filter, PUMP ducks the mix on each kick, VOICE adds the robot, ENERGY adds drive.
• REC is DROP: tap it to strip back to the filtered loop for two bars, or hold it longer.
• SEQ fires a solo on the style's solo sound, and the keys play the lead snapped to the scale.
• With ARC on the song builds itself through intro, main, build, drop, solo and breakdown.
• Settings save themselves while stopped, eight SETS store a whole groove, and the four parts play out over MIDI.
