Polyphonic Auto Sampler & Multi-Machine Effects /Granular Playground

This is a machine primed for adventure: an instrument to propel you towards extraordinary music-making and boundless sound exploration. Tonverk is both a revelatory pathfinder and wondrous labyrinth to immerse yourself in, offering diverse solutions to capture, process, and route your sound. It can be:

• ...a versatile polyphonic sampler
• ...a routing playground
• ...a FX blender
• ...a machine with tracks within tracks
• ...a multi-tonal factory

Tonverk has eight audio tracks that can be utilized in different ways depending on where you want to take your sounds. There are a further eight tracks for buses, sends, and mix - all primed for relentless routing, putting a wealth of fresh FX flavors in your hands for use across the box. You're invited to enter a gateway to fantastic fun and experimentation. And, like all adventures, the beginning offers only a glimpse of what’s to come.

Feature Summary:

• 16 tracks (12 of which can be MIDI), each with its own 256-step sequencer
  • 8 audio
  • 4 bus tracks 
  • 3 send tracks
  • 1  mix track
• Massive list of FX
• Loads of modulation
• Extensive internal and external routing possibilities 
• Recorder - for straightforward audio sampling, externally or internally
• Auto Sampler - Use MIDI to automatically multi-sample your favorite instruments

Four machines form the initial basis of Tonverk’s sound creation, plus another for MIDI:

SINGLE PLAYER

• A take on a polyphonic one-shot machine. Load, record, or drag and drop your stereo sample from your device, and play it back polyphonically. Find your start point, find your end, set your loop point, and smooth it out like butter with the crossfade parameter for seamless looping. Let a single tone run on into polyphoninfinity.

MULTI PLAYER

• Lets you load a multisampled instrument. Various samples are spread out over the keyboard, full of melodic potential, and ready for your fingertips. The machine comes with several multisampled instruments covering plenty of flavors, and with the Auto Sampler you can of course create your own magic.

SUBTRACKS

• Offers you the chance to load a sample on every lower row key on Tonverk’s keyboard. This means one track is essentially eight Subtracks, each able to play their samples simultaneously. And every Subtrack has its own two filters, an amp envelope, and modulation. Load a curated set of samples or pick and choose what sound lives where. Why not have eight drum machines in your drum machine? The choice is yours. 

GRAINER

• Cuts your sample into tiny grains and reassembles them into new textures, rhythms, and continuous tones. Control grain amount, size, density, randomness, spread, direction, and more, and explore three Play Modes that shift it from drifting pads to tempo-synced stutters to smooth, oscillating layers. A unique dual shelving filter opens further shaping options, and with up to eight voices each running eight grains at once, available on any of the audio tracks, Grainer delivers huge granular possibilities in deep polyphonic detail – tactile, flexible, and expressive inside Tonverk.
