ESTAMPIE

• Thirteen engines cover hurdy-gurdy, bagpipe, lutes, harps, psalteries, recorders, organs, monks' chant, noise and synthesized drums.
• Four tracks each hold their own sequence of up to 64 steps with chords, ties, accents, slides, chance and ratchets.
• Arm REC and play to record live, overdubbing each pass, with knob moves kept as automation.
• Press PLAY and the TROTTO scene runs; SCENE also offers CRYPT, TAVERN, CHAPEL, BLANK and DUNGEON.
• ALGORITHM picks the track, PRESETS swaps its sound, SELECT sets tempo, and KNOB 1-4 shape the engine.
• Save four projects and 32 sounds, chain sections into songs, and back everything up through the web editor.
• USB-C carries MIDI both ways and the stereo output as an audio input, and MIDI IN takes a keyboard.

Its modes

HOME

Play from the keys with the engine's four main controls on KNOB 1-4 and the scope on screen.

MIXER

Set the selected track's level, pan, reverb send and mute.

CLOCK

Set the tempo, swing and whether the clock comes from inside, USB or the MIDI socket.

KEYS

Layer or split the keyboard so two tracks play together, with a split point and octave shift.

ENV

Shape attack, decay, sustain and release for the track's notes.

LFO

Set the rate, wave, phase and fade of the movement that drives pitch, filter, shape or loudness.

FX

Dial each track's distortion, chorus, delay and reverb sends, then reach the effects themselves.

SCL

Choose the root, scale and quantise mode so the keys play only the notes you want.

SONG

Chain up to sixteen rows of saved sections, choosing each track's pattern and how often it repeats.

STEP

Write notes, chords, ties, rests and accents into the selected track's piano roll or drum grid.
