D16 Group has announced a preorder for Nithonat, a classic drum machine box (606 emulation this time) plug-in for Windows and Mac.
Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. The unique sound of this machine has been used by many artists over the years in the production of Electro, Hip-Hop and R n B.
The original 606 has been perfectly emulated. However, since Nithonat is software based, D16 were able to enhance the original with extra functionality.
