Content & Detail

01The Instruments2 playable
Music BoxOften considered a toy, but it offers a distinct sonic experience composers enjoy for its impactful effect on the listener
What it is forA flashback in a movie, a kid running through the grass on a sunny day — or a serial killer caressing his cuddly toy. Intense and simultaneously subtle emotions
Plucked PianoThe ideal companion for the music box, for thrilling, mysterious and arcane soundscapes in no time
Why it sounds harsherThe strings are plucked instead of hit by a soft felt-covered hammer, so the result is harsher and more rugged
02Multi-Arpeggio-Designerthe centerpiece
What it isThe centerpiece of every Origins instrument: two fully customizable arpeggiators creating interlocking patterns and broad soundscapes by combining the unique timbres of the two instruments
Why it does not sound generatedThe engine is designed to convey a musically meaningful, human performance, instead of a computer randomly aligning notes
Presets100+ rhythm presets, or create your own arpeggios in as much detail as you like
Portable designsCopy and paste your design to use it on the fly in any other instrument of the Origins series
On this pairThe rhythmically interacting interplay of the music box and the plucked piano is what carries the mood, more than either instrument alone
03Colors Menu12 presets
What a color isTwelve individual color presets, all radically different in character, incorporating various effect settings and multiple impulse responses
Combining themEach MAD preset has an assigned color preset, but everything can be combined at will — over 1200 predefined combinations
04The Seriesother volumes

A music box is a mechanism before it is an instrument. The comb, the cylinder and the winding are all audible, and that is exactly what makes it read as a memory rather than a melody — which is why pairing it with a plucked piano works where a felt hammer would not.
