Content & Detail

01The Instruments2 playable▾
12-String GuitarA fresh, bright sound for a modern and familiar feel — and at the same time a way to emphasize ethnic, far-away nuances
BalalaikaRich, more delicate and traditionally rooted textures, originally from the regions of Central Asia and Russia
Where it sitsAt home in any ethnic, cinematic or contemporary setting, suited for gentle accompaniment as well as characteristic melodies
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
Interlocking or apartBoth instruments play interlocking or independently, with patterns as well as single notes, chords and rhythms on the fly
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 12-string is already two instruments. Every course is a pair slightly out of tune with itself, which is what makes the shimmer — and why setting it against a three-string balalaika gives the arpeggiator something to separate rather than double.
