IND-1

• IND-1 plays itself from the moment it switches on, arranging intros, verses, builds, choruses, breakdowns and drops.
• Six layers sound together: crushed drums, a sequenced bass, two synthesized guitars, FM stabs, metal percussion and a drone or static bed.
• Press a key and the whole machine moves to that root on the next bar.
• Any edit locks the song, so you can write the drums, bass, guitar, synth, metal rings and section plan step by step.
• Eight pieces, from Foundry to Klaxon, each hold their own groove, tempo, key, mode and song.
• All eight pieces save to the FM-1 by itself while stopped, or at once with SAVE.
• MIDI arrives over USB and the TRS jack, so notes move the root and clock runs the grid.
