Each instrument comes with a per-instrument filter, two-band parametric EQ, low and high-pass filter, look-ahead compressor, and stereo spread for precise sound shaping.
The master 2Bus effects slots allow up to five effects simultaneously, with options like bitcrusher, dynamics with VCA mode, chorus, delay, distortion, algorithmic reverb, and two-band parametric EQ. The external play modes include an editable drum map and continuous MIDI velocity response, while the internal sequencer play mode offers a piano-like pattern editor with up to 48 pattern storage slots.
Save patterns up to 64 steps in length, adjust rate scale, shuffle control, flamming, and multiple subdivisions per pattern.

Constructed from the ground up, Nithonat 2 is designed with a truly revolutionary synthesis that can capture the unique characteristics, tone and feel of a vintage 606-style hardware drum machine in unrivalled accuracy. Expertly engineered, each module within Nithonat can accurately and authentically emulate the hardware circuits, creating the signature crisp and articulate hi-hats and cymbals, booming and powerful bass drums and snappy snares.
The addition of parameters such as 'tune', 'attack' and 'decay' presents an opportunity to take your sound one step further than it's ever gone before by customising the envelope of each drum to sit within your mix with explosive character.
Nithonat takes on a life of its own, straying away from any comparison to similar drum machines, forging its own history with a unique and distinctive character that is the perfect companion to avid electronic music producers. Add excitement and nuance to your sound and expand your tonal palette with Nithonat 2.
Experience an immaculate recreation of the classic 606 drum machine, complete with the same parameters found on the original hardware. The D16 Nithonat 2 brings the iconic sounds of yesteryear into the present, allowing you to explore its full potential across a variety of musical genres. The unit’s synthesis includes characteristic hi-hats and cymbals, punchy bass drums, and sizzling snares, all meticulously emulated from the original hardware circuits.
Designed originally as a companion to the 303 silver box, the 606's deceptively simple interface has found its place in genres from '80s pop to modern EDM and experimental music. The D16 Nithonat 2 makes these timeless sounds accessible, providing a full spectrum of mix-cutting, harsh, and metallic tones.
The included effect chain makes your sounds bigger and fatter straight from the output. Add grit with a bitcrusher or distortion, control space with reverb or delay, and fatten your sound with chorus. Mix everything together using dynamics and EQ controls. The addition of a filter provides endless creative possibilities, allowing you to craft the exact sound you need for your tracks.
Two bus effect chains with various algorithms allow for precise sound shaping. These effects, combined with a capable master section and ready-to-use master presets, ensure your tracks are polished and professional.
With a user-friendly interface, the D16 Nithonat 2’s sequencer is designed to inspire. It features a tap function, a randomizer, and more, making it easy to record and edit your patterns. The randomizer can fill a pattern with unexpected ideas, providing useful drum lines that you can edit or save seamlessly. Additionally, the MIDI export via drag and drop allows you to quickly finish your work in your DAW.
Prefer recording your beats live? The tap function lets you seamlessly record ideas into patterns using your screen or MIDI pad controller. With hundreds of factory patterns included, finding inspiration is just a browse away.
Enhance your musical expression with per-step flams and several variants of substep, all with editable properties. The D16 Nithonat 2 offers a variety of trigger modes, including MIDI notes, MIDI CC, or GUI. Each drum sound has a dedicated channel strip with EQ and compression, allowing you to tweak sounds to your needs. The built-in high-cut and low-cut filters, along with a 2-band parametric EQ, ensure your drum kit mixes perfectly with the rest of your track.
Additional features include a multi-band compressor to integrate your soundscape and a limiter with a soft-clip option to control and add power to your output. The easily manageable MIDI map and trigger outs, inspired by classic 606 mods, provide that authentic feel and control over your external gear using the internal sequencer.
