GENRE-DEFINING, SIGNATURE SOUNDS

Your go-to instrument for lush pads, dreamy harmonies, bottom heavy bass, and leads that sing, 40’S VERY OWN KEYS transports the iconic downsampled sound of Noah “40” Shebib’s productions straight inside your DAW. Get the downsampled, heavily processed synth sounds that 40 made synonymous with a new wave of hip hop artists, all within a single, easy-to-use instrument. Each preset comes with a dedicated range of creative effects, including amps, cabs, reverbs, and delays, plus a special “40” macro, so there’s plenty of scope to customize the shape and presence of the sounds to make them your very own.

The Sound Editor page lets you modify the individual sound sources (A/B) – giving you access to tuning, filters, panning, and envelopes.

Customize the effects chain of any preset with the Effects Editor. Quickly swap out effects using the dropdown menu, or change the order via drag-and-drop.

Quickly generate ideas with a flexible 16-step sequencer. You can also modulate up to six assignable macros such as filter or distortion.

Edit the assigned macro controls, control parameter ranges, change macro mappings and create your own custom controls from one dedicated page. The coloured macro dots give you visual feedback on your mappings for maximum ease of use.

Customize the instrument your way from the Settings page. Edit key ranges, adjust velocity curves, and more.

The main page of the instrument gives you a simple interface designed to help you focus on playing. Quickly tweak sounds using the six assignable macros.
