A synthesizer-based production machine combining analogue modelling and sequencing for beat creation and live performance. Sakamaki handled product planning for electribe.

Panel controls provide direct access to sound editing, while pads and a touchpad support playing and entering musical parts. Rhythms, bass lines, chords and melodies can be built into a sequence and reshaped during performance.

Export to Ableton Live provides a route from ideas made on the hardware to further editing and mixing on a computer.
