tonic-fm1

• Four tracks share twelve voices, each track running four-operator FM with eight algorithms, virtual analog, or a kit of eight synthesized drums.
• The sequencer holds up to 64 steps a track with parameter locks, sound locks, trig conditions, micro timing and retrig.
• Every voice has overdrive, LO-FI, two filters, an insert effect, two LFOs and a modulation envelope.
• Chorus, delay, reverb, a master compressor, a DJ filter and sidechain ducking shape the whole mix.
• Hold HOME for mutes, fills, chains, tap tempo, loop rolls, tape stop, filter sweeps and reverb freeze.
• TONIC saves by itself once the sequencer stops and the sound dies away, keeping 32 patterns, a pool and a library.
• USB MIDI in and out plus TRS in carry notes, clock and control, and any track can play an external instrument.

Its modes

SEQ

Set a trig's note, velocity, length and condition, and reach the piano roll, retrig, euclidean and track length pages.

EDIT

Shape the sound's engine: the FM operators and algorithm, the VA oscillators, or a drum kit's eight pads.

ENV

Set the filters, the amp envelope, drive, pan, volume, the effect sends, LO-FI and the insert effect.

LFO

Set the two LFOs and the modulation envelope and point them at any destination.

FX

Dial in chorus, delay, reverb, the mixer with its DJ filter, ducking and the master compressor.

ARP

Set the arpeggiator's mode, speed, range and steps, and the sound's chords and scale.

GLO

Set tempo, swing, scales, voices, sound setup, portamento, modulation routings, song mode, theme and MIDI.

HOME

See the pattern, the four tracks and the steps, with track levels on the knobs and tempo on SELECT.

Hold HOME to pick patterns and chains, mute tracks, throw fills, sweep the DJ filter and fire momentary effects.

SAVE

Write the project, store sounds to the library or pool, reload, copy, paste or clear a pattern.
