Before The Omnichord: Puremagnetik Harpitron For Ableton Live, Kontakt & Logic

Talula, October 18, 2016January 26, 2024

Harpitron
Everybody loves the Omnnichord, but what about its precursor, the Tronichord?

Puremagnetik Harpitron brings the beautifully simple sounds of the 1981 Suzuki Tronichord into the 21st century. As a precursor to the later, larger Omnichord, the Tronichord employed a circle of fifths style layout for simple harmonic navigation and musical playability.

Puremagnetik has resurrected this classic synthesizer and reverse engineered it for Ableton Live, Kontakt & Logic. It includes automated strumming features, grid and chromatic layouts for Ableton Push or a traditional keyboard and intricately programmed articulation controls.
