Product Overview

themkI is an electro-mechanical keyboard instrument that captures the essence of a classic from the 1970s, featuring 16 dynamic layers and a collection of 60 sound design sources. The instrument combines original material with modern techniques, including Eurorack modules and tape loops, resulting in a rich palette of evolving textures suitable for experimental and ambient compositions.

Details

The library includes deeply sampled sounds that retain the mechanical clicks and imperfections of the original instrument, enhancing its character. It offers both release and mechanical samples, all processed through tape for added warmth. The MPE-compatible sound engine features two independent looping and granular cores, allowing for both slow, evolving textures and rapid bursts of sound.

Each layer is equipped with a 16-step sequencer, enabling complex modifications such as pitch shifts and unique sample start positions per note. The animated mode supports polyphonic modulation, enhancing the instrument's expressiveness. With options to load your own samples, themkI encourages exploration and creativity, making it a versatile tool for sound designers and composers alike.
