Syntakt OS Upgrade 1.40
Swedish musical instrument company Elektron has today shared a new OS for Syntakt. Introducing Twinshot - a dual sample player machine offering a playful and versatile complement to Syntakt’s existing digital and analog possibilities. And that’s not all that arrives on this OS. There are also a range of features that offer extra fun, more control, deeper sound design, and greater personalisation.
Twinshot
Syntakt’s newest machine is an unexpected one. Bringing sample playing to a device already covering so many Elektron bases really does solidify it as a heck of an all rounder. And it’s very much a happy bending of the rules of nature in order for it to be possible, given that Syntakt’s architecture wasn’t designed to accommodate samples. But Twinshot is here, nonetheless, in all its quirky goodness. There are 64 global samples to work with, choosing two at a time. One can be a transient, one a body, and they can be blended as desired: forwards or backwards, overdriven, LFO-ed to the max, and opening up new sonic options with acoustic samples, classic drum machine sounds, and drum-looping. |
