It offers all kinds of modules to generate and process triggers and numbers. You can build highly complex sequencing environments with the aim to produce music with a life of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eNest is equipped with resemblings of classical, transistor based integrated circuits like Shift Registers or Multiplexers, plus programming tools like the if\/else and math modules. Also a writable Sequencer and flexible Arpeggiator are onboard, to make life easy when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eA clever voice assignment distributes the 8 possible MIDI voices to up to 4 different sound generators like VSTs, internal Synths and Drums or MIDI channels. This can make Nest not only fun when hosting your favorite plugins, you can also use it to drive your hardware park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eA new Sequencer everyday\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eHardware is made of interesting components, and tinkering with them is loads of fun, now Nest provides this experience without sourcing parts and magic smoke. It provides access to the main building blocks of modern electronics, and it allows for free patching and experimenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eYou can throw circuits together like Lego bricks, and with that, sheer endless possibilities open up. Create beats from numbers and numbers from beats, distribute patterns across multiple sound sources, build intelligent songmachines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eNest is a super flexible composition tool, which brings together classical transistor logic with modern computer functions. The wire-patching offers endless possibilities and surprises. With 12 patch scenes and a powerful sound interface, Nest is a little laboratory for complex, intelligent music machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eThe two faces of Nest\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eOn the Wire Page we create the awesome patch and send it to up to 8 voice slots. The range of possibilities is sheer endless. More than 20 modules to combine, some rather for numbers (pitch, velocity, modulation), some for gates (triggers, rhythms). With 12 Scenes, a patch can have many variations and allows for playing with songs structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eOn the Sound Page, we receive these 8 voices and assign them freely to 4 channels. So we could have a huge layered 8 voice chord, or 3 voices could be drums, another 3 would be a chord and the last two might be a bassline and some samples. Each Channel can be an internal Synth, a VST Plugin or MIDI Out. A fine reverb puts your patch into perspective and adds a silver lining to even the most simple sounds. With the multiple audio outs, each sound channel plus the reverb channel can be routed to an individual DAW channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eThe Nest Story\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003e\"Nest has an actual hardware background, as it originates from different hobbyist eurorack modules, which I built over time. Shift Registers and multiplexers are loads of fun on the breadboard, not to forget the Nandulator. There was a hardware sequencer, which would put out off-steps as gates too, and would also provide the internal counter´s binary address as 4 gate sources. So there were plenty of eye-openers along the way and a deep interest in logic circuits. But still, building my dream module would be close to impossible in hardware. And then came the idea to actually emulate the who-is-who of sequencing and logic IC´s in software. Prototypes quickly uncovered great potential, and so Nest was born.\" (Rico Baade)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-product__notes\"\u003eA Rule-Based MIDI Sequencer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-product__features\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main xch-product__features\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"xch-features__list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eBuild your own sequencer!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eMore than 20 different modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eGenerate 8 MIDI voices and assign to 4 targets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eHost up to 4 VST2 plug-ins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eUse internal synths and drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eRecall 12 scenes via MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eSend to 16 MDI channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003ePlus MIDI CCs and automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eMulti audio outs (5 stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eFlexible scale system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-product__requirements\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-requirements__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"xch-requirements\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-requirement__os\"\u003eMAC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"xch-os__border\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-os__details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__name\"\u003eOS X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__version\"\u003eRequires macOS 10.13 or higher\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch_requirement__plugins\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__plugins--label\"\u003ePlugins\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__plugins--value\"\u003eVST-2, VST-3, AU, AAX, STAND-ALONE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"xch-requirements\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-requirement__os\"\u003eWINDOWS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"xch-os__border\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-os__details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__name\"\u003eWindows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__version\"\u003eRequires Windows 7 or higher\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch_requirement__plugins\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__plugins--label\"\u003ePlugins\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__plugins--value\"\u003eVST-2, VST-3, AAX, STAND-ALONE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch_product__videos\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main\"\u003eAdditional Media\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch_videos\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe data-old=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6k0DHqvRbzQ\" width=\"300px\" class=\"xch_video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6k0DHqvRbzQ\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300px\" class=\"xch_video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n40Fzx0391E\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300px\" class=\"xch_video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n40Fzx0391E\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300px\" class=\"xch_video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TTzGHMYNzEU\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300px\" class=\"xch_video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ep5HxlVZfxA\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SugarBytes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52209433575713,"sku":"1433-1966","price":151.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1502\/9317\/files\/sugar-bytes-nest-modular-sequencer.jpg?v=1770135187","url":"https:\/\/koalaaudio.com.au\/products\/sugar-bytes-nest","provider":"Koala Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
