Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. The unique sound of this machine has been used by many artists over the years in the production of Electro, Hip-Hop and R n B.

The original 606 has been perfectly emulated. However, since Nithonat is software based, D16 were able to enhance the original with extra functionality.

Features:
* fully synthesized drum sounds
* additional parameters to get yet more control over the sound
* many ways of controlling the device:
o external mode (notes triggering the sounds)
o internal sequencer (pattern mode)
* internal sequencer:
o 8 banks with 12 patterns per bank
o each pattern up to 16 steps of length
o each pattern defined with one of four available measures
o shuffle mode
o trigger out
o global accent track
o tap mode
o chain mode
o shuffle (swing) and tempo values defined per pattern
o built in randomizer
o patterns import/export via human readable xml files
* two modes of synchronization:
o precise synchronization to the host tempo
o synchronization to internal clock - tempo controlled in the range 30-300 BPM (+-0.1)
* mutes/solos for each instrument (affect triggerring not just the signal)
* dynamic signal routing from instruments to outputs
* drum kits organised into groups
* midi learn function
* 64bit internal processing
