Analog Sound Palettes

The Mode Machines ADX-1 Analog Drum Machine is a compact, vintage-style drum machine and expander. The ADX-1 features 5-channels of analog drum sounds with 8 controls per channel, allowing you to create a wide variety of sound. The analog sound is thanks to the metallic-sounding generators. The 5 channels consist of: Metal, HiHat, Snare, Synth & Bass sounds which can all be modulated and sculpted to create your own unique sounds. The Metal channel is used to create cymbal sounds and consists of two different metallic-sounding generators. The HiHat is comprised of a single metallic-sounding noise generator and one clean signal. The Snare channel is created using one metallic-sound noise generator and put through two band pass filters. The Synth channel is used to create sounds such as bells or synthesizers, consisting of 3 oscillators, with 2 and 3 featuring editable pitches.

Each channel features 8 controls, with the full unit boasting 51 buttons in total. The eight pot controls on each channel give you precise control over all the parameters and modulation. The controls range from modulation to tuning, FM depth, bend, attack, release, resonance and more. Each channel also features its own output at the rear of the unit, allowing you to connect the ADX-1 to a range of external devices. Each channel has its own individual modulation and parameter controls as well as 1 panorama and 1 volume control.
