Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. The
unique sound of this machine has been used by many artists over the years in
the production of Electro, Hip-Hop and R n B.

The original 606 has been perfectly emulated. However, since Nithonat is
software based, D16 were able to enhance the original with extra
functionality.

Full control over the sound

On the original 606, the only editable sound parameter was volume. D16 have
added to the original and as a result, Nithonat is equipped with extra
controls which allow each sound to be shaped in ways which were not possible
in the original machine.

A whole spectrum of sounds is now at you fingertips û rumbling kicks, rustling
snares and completely synthesized and unnatural sounding toms and hi-hats.

For the first time since the 80s, it is now possible to hear what the analogue
synthesis of the 606 is truly capable off!

One of a kind

Nithonat was designed completely from the ground up. Its synthesis is special
û even when compared to NephetonÆs. It has very unique and characteristic hi
-hat and cymbal sounds which are due to the emulated structure of the circuits
in the original. The bass drum has unparalleled attack character and strong
punch. The snare sounds sandy.

These unique attributes guarantee that our 606 is not a sub-standard 808 but
is a great instrument with a unique timbre which will bring an old school feel
to any track it is used on.

New dimension of creativity

Nithonat has a powerful built-in internal sequencer. The tracks can be edited
in a very simple and intuitive way and modified with many useful functions.
The clear GUI means that sequencer is very easy to use.

In addition to having many internal sequencer modes, Nithonat can also be used
as a sound module. All sounds and functions within Nithonat can be controlled
from a host sequencer.

Experimenting with Nithonat can give interesting and unexpected results.
Operation of Nithonat is very similar to Drumazon and Nepheton û having
knowledge of these will mean that using Nithonat will not require much manual
reading!

Good choice

For a fraction of the price of Drumazon and Nepheton, Nithonat provides a drum
machine which has as many editing tools as its more expensive siblings.

We believe that we have created a powerful drum machine at an affordable price
which is quick to program and very easy to use.


Another D16 classic!
