Makohai

• Six lanes of lead, arp, pad, bass, drums and sfx compose parts live in eighteen styles.
• You mix rather than program: queue a style, blend it in lane by lane, or launch it at once.
• Sixty-eight FM patches, six drum kits, a supersaw, a choir aah, an orchestra hit and eight noise sounds.
• Each lane can carry your own part of up to 512 bars, entered in scale steps from the chord root.
• RECORD plays the keys straight into the part, with an effect column, undo, transpose, shift and range tools.
• PLAY runs an INTRO and an END, a tap on REC is an INTER and holding it is a DROP.
• SAVE keeps every setting, all parts and the setup, and eight sets load a whole mix while playing.
• USB-MIDI sends the lanes' notes and settings, takes notes in, and follows or sends clock and transport.
