Pancho Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Due to the lack of multi-output support and the inability to adjust the kick drum's pitch, Nepheton 2 may not be the most suitable choice for users seeking more flexible sound design options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy1 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I bought it since I'm a D-16 fan. They still do things the old way. No special app and has offline activation. Their GUIs use to be small but now they are huge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wibbles Posted Monday at 11:10 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:10 AM (edited) I installed the original Nepheton, had a quick play around, couldn't figure out how to get it do to want I wanted, and then never used it again. The workflow was a pig. I went back to using Audiorealism's ADM, which I use for all my 606/808/909 (and drum sampler) needs. $19 seems a real bargain, but the number of "bargains" I've acquired for less than $20 dollars and never used is ridiculous.

I highly doubt it 🤣 But I quite like it, especially for $19. Sometimes the different workflows trigger different ideas. It's also interesting to see how they got the sounds with the processing used. It's quite eye opening disabling the entire FX chain for each sound and seeing what the raw samples sound like and then how much each FX alters it. From a learning perspective and from being able to more finely customize the sound it's handy and not something you get with drum samples. Some of the hits sound great out of the box though. I always init the patterns and create from scratch, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of those patterns are decent too. But I've been programming some patterns and then just dragging the MIDI from it, directly into its own track in Cubase and then disable Nepheton's internal sequencer and have Cubase trigger it. It's already inspired the basis for a new track, so for $19 I've already got enough fun out of it 🙂 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibbles Posted Monday at 02:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:32 PM In the end, I couldn't help myself. I was pleased to find that it cost me £15 including VAT. I've just got to remember to install it and actually use the thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted Monday at 02:52 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:52 PM I'm seeing 35 € (around 30 UK pounds) in my account for Nepheton 2, possibly because I have Drumazon 1 (also the Drumazon 2 upgrade is still there for 29 €). I'm liking the demo of Nepheton 2 and the UI is much improved with scaling etc, but I'm thinking along the lines of @dubdisciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got to remember to install it and actually use the thing. That's not the point of being in the forum or buying plugins. We jut like to have these things and every DAW comes with these type of drum machines. The reality is we are too fascinated with not having our ideal 808 sound.

dubdisciple Posted Monday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:35 PM As a longtime cakewalk user, I received 808 samples from the original ROMs years ago when Roland owned Cakewalk. I have probably thousands of 808 samples from other sources. There is no logical reason to buy for the sound. What does interest me is workflow. I have Drumazon 1 and occasionally will use it and a barebones setup like Drumazon, Arturia Juno 106 and maybe one more vintage synth with minimal use of DAW features . I use old techniques like using the 909 sequencer to trigger bass lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use old techniques like using the 909 sequencer to trigger bass lines. I'm not sure how you received 808 samples from the original ROMs - all the 808 sounds were synthesized. On the 909, the hats and cymbals were samples. Almost everything I do is based around a minimal set up of Audiorealism's ABL3 and ADM, and some samples. Although I will often end up with 2 or 3 instances of ABL3 playing different 303 lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the activation / licensing is lightyears better with D16. I do think the Roland Cloud one would also sound decent from some examples I've heard, but I'm not totally convinced about the bloat / cloud requirement for it. I did buy it the other day as well, but I haven't activated it just yet until I decide if I like their system. That said it's a cheap way to test out their cloud beyond the free sounds. https://www.jrrshop.com/roland-tr-808-plugin-lifetime-key.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
