Das von einem Core 2 Duo betriebene Gerät hat genug Leistungsreserven in petto und erscheint wie eine komplette Hardware-DAW, eine Drum Machine auf Crack. Alles, was Du für Deine Live-Performance benötigst ist vorhanden – vom Sampler, einem Groovebox-typischen Step-Sequenzer mit hintergrundbeleuchteten Pads über großzügig bemessene Displays für die einzelnen Sektionen zur Klangerzeugung und -manipulation bis hin zur Einbindung von VST-Plugins, was ungeahnte Vielseitigkeit mit sich bringt. Eine Vielzahl von Tasten und Drehreglern bietet unmittelbaren Zugriff auf alle Parameter und Kontrollen; Du musst also kein Gewurschtel über verschachtelte Touchscreen-Menüs oder Ähnliches befürchten.

Sample Image

All das hat seinen Preis: Das Gerät kommt recht klobig daher. Gut, daß es einen Tragegriff und einen Bügel zum Justieren des Anstellwinkels gibt.

RHIZOME, THe VST GROOVE STATION

Designed to allow the musician to freely express his creativity and for live expression, the Rhizome is both a real instrument and a full on production station. The rhizome is the future of groove-machines.

POWER - PERFORMANCE - VERSATILITY

Who has never dreamt of having the best of the computer world with the intuition and usability of equipment? Sequencing, sampling and controlling synthesizers, drum machines and effects through a single machine, that offers the same direct approach and the same pleasure of a groove machine ...

What differences does it have with competing groove machines? The Rhizome is a hybrid, its instruments and virtual effects are installed in the VST/VSTi PC) format. The limitations of sounds and effects embedded in your machine has come to an end, you choose the musical style and colour of your instrument.

ERGONOMICS

The rhizome is not just a keyboard with a computer or a rack containing a PC, it's a real musical instrument, designed for pleasure and ergonomics with a software package developed to be used through its many controls anddisplays.

Once loaded, mix its plug-ins via the virtual mixing console and create sequences, patterns and tracks through the multi-mode and multi-track sequencer, the real brain of this workstation.

REAL TIME

To unleash the creativity and inspiration of live musicians in the studio, everything is done on the fly without stopping playback or recording: Programming and recording of sequences, sampling, adding instruments and effects, settings, mixing.

rhizome line

The Rhizhome is available in three versions that differ in power and the number of analogue audio outs. All models are equipped with a RME© Audio card, well known for its quality.The embedded systems, as well as processors, are Intel© which assures the highest standards and full compatibility between components. The Microsoft operating system is specially compiled for the Rhizome and offers fast execution and increased stability.

RHIZOME SOFT , A FULL SOFTWARE SUITE

All versions of the Rhizome are delivered with a comprehensive software suite that allows you to compose, record and perform, from sequencer to effects by editing VSTT.

SEQUENCER


Record, program and arrange limitless real-time "patterns" and "songs", using installed VSTi plug-ins or external synths. The integrated sequencers offer different modes, such as step by step, real time or grid mode. A perfect blend of vintage sequencers and today’s software. The Rhizome can record 64 pieces of 9999 timings using 64 patterns with 64 tracks per pattern. To work these sequences and humanize them, each track has independent functions like a non-destructive quantization, a change in the recording speed, groove effects, looping and cues ...


No more need for a mouse to assemble its pieces: the Rhizome allows creation in real time by the pattern activation due to the pads. Undo/ redo features allow for error. And all this without ever stopping play. The Rhizome offers usability that has never been achieved on a groove machine before

Virtual mixing console

The Rhizome has a 64/8/14 (mini) mixing desk that provides advanced routing functions: 64 stereo tracks, six main outputs, 8 stereo buses, 12 inputs (two analogues, 8 ADAT, 2 SPDIF). Each audio track (whether an instrument, a bus, an aux or an output) has many functions: 4-band parametric equalizer, a compressor (Ohm Force signed specifically for Feeltune), a stereo and phase tool, 3 auxiliary outputs and 3 VST inserts. The Rhizome operates in total recall: for each piece, mixing parameters can be recorded and edited.

Sampler


For those addicted to sampling and making beats, Feeltune has integrated a firmly oriented real-time sampler into the Rhizome.
This sampler, a simple and powerful tool, allows in a few commands to record, edit and play your samples. Thanks to the extensive display screens provided by the rhizome and its many controllers, work on the samples and their parameters is fun and childlike, including live. It is not necessary to stop playback to change the loop points, cut or normalise. In the rhizome, everything plays in real time

VSTi / VST Processor

The Rhizome is not limited to the instruments and virtual effects included with the machine. As compatible host to 95% of VSTi plug-ins and VSTfx (PC), the Rhizome is an virtually limitless instrument. Installing plug-ins (standard, requiring no special version) is quick and secure, whether through another computer or directly from the Rhizome by connecting monitor, keyboard and mouse. In addition to being a sequencer with extensive possibilities of a fearsome sampler, the Rhizome is a sound generator designed to allow free expression of all your creative potential.


COPPERLAN CONTROLEUR

CopperLan© is a new, highly innovative, communication protocol, dedicated to audio software and hardware. This powerful new tool allows them to connect these devices via any type of connection (USB, Firewire, LAN). With Copperpluger, a Feeltune designed technology, co-developed with ICT7, the use of VST / VSTi is completely simplified: whatever VST you use, you find the same functions, in the same place, controlled by the same commands. You can also create your own templates to adapt the layout of controls to suit your habits and tastes. CopperLan© also offers the possibility to communicate in MIDI between the Rhizome and computers (MAC/ PC), without any configuration, you install the CopperLan utility and your devices are immediately recognized

VSTs and VSTis delivered with the Rhizome

Depending on the version chosen, the Rhizome comes with a set of plug-ins.
