Way Out Ware KikAXXE VSTi RTAS v1.1

Way Out Ware has announced KikAxxe, a faithful emulation of the classic ARP
Axxe synthesizerùand much more.

Built with Way Out Ware's analog-modeling technology, the KikAxxe brings
together the Axxe synthesizer, analog-style 16-step sequencer, a dedicated
step-sequenced drum machine and a retro-themed delay/echo effect. Chock
full of modern conveniences like presets, MIDI sync and comprehensive MIDI
-mapping capabilities, the KikAxxe has all of the features you'd expect.

Vintage ARP Axxe Emulation

KikAxxe is a faithful emulation of the ARP Axxe analog synthesizer that
descended from the venerable ARP 2600 in the mid '70s. Play it from a MIDI
controller or the integral Sequencer +, an emulation of the ARP step
sequencer that contributed to the signature sound of artists like The Who,
Depeche Mode, 808 State, Vince Clarke, Jean-Michel Jarre, Billy Currie of
Ultravox and Visage, and filmmaker John Carpenter. This combo gives you a
powerful tool for creating distinctive synth bass lines. And to enhance
lead lines and effects, KikAxxe also includes an emulation of the unique
sound of the Echoplexùthe original tape delay device that preceded digital
delay units.

Drums Included

KikAxxe's Sequencer + also includes a complementary staple from the same
eraùa drum machine with dedicated step sequencer. With five sample-based
drum kits, you'll find the sounds responsible for many hit songs across
several decadesùand then some. KikAxxe gives you the ability to create
great bass and drum backing tracks in a single unit.

Simple Preset Operation or In-depth Programming

KikAxxe ships with a vast array of presets that give you access to the
unit's vintage soundùeven if you don't know anything about synthesis or
programming. From there, it's easy to explore and modify parameters to
start customizing the presets to your own tastes. And if you're a synth
aficionado, advanced mode gives you access to every authentic parameter.
You can even map MIDI controllers on to just about every KikAxxe control
for a truly hands-on experience.
