Filed under: Drum Machines & Groove Boxes, Electronic MusiciansDell’s Motherboard.tv visits Moby’s Manhattan apartment studio, where he talks about his “Noah’s arc” of rarified gadgets, bizarre synthesizers, and vintage drum machines.

Best line: “A rock band cannot rehearse in the suburbs at 3 o’clock in the morning. You can make electronic music at 3 o’clock in the morning, and your mom doesn’t complain. “

D16 has introduced Nithonat – a vintage-style virtual drum machine.
While the picture above may have you thinking that it’s an awesome new piece of gear – it’s just another example of companies using awesome-looking 3D images to get you hyped about a piece of software.
Here are the details on Nithonat:
Nithonat is a classic drum machine box (606 emulation this time). All instruments are fully synthesized and with a way more advanced and extended sound shaping capabilities than its predecessor. Whole functionality of Nithonat is very similar to the other drum machines from D16 Group, which makes it very easy-to-use and creative instrument.
Nithonat has stunning GUI kept in the same fashion as well known Phoscyon’s interface. Since the both small brothers are back together shoulder to shoulder.
Nithonat is planned to be released as both VST and AU simultaneously. More information about it is coming soon.

Roland TR-55 Drum Machine
This is what drum machines sounded like in 1973 – the Roland TR-55 Drum Machine.
Description:
The Roland TR-55 was one of the first Roland products – it is a compact rhythm box with excellent analog drum sounds – in fact, the typical Roland analog sound. A great feature is the BALANCE knob, which allow you to cancel the hi hat sounds on every pattern – or to mix them to the pattern as loud as you want.
