Description | The well-known VST software instrument is now available in a real hardware box!
RackAttack integrates classic analog sounds of the 80s with the ambitious electronic club drums of the 90s, for music of the 21st century.
The RackAttack's virtual modeled circuitry synthesis is optimized for drums and percussion. Beyond those, leads, basses and effect sounds are possible too. The RackAttack has the same easy-editing user interface found in the microQ series, perfect for live acts - perfect for the studio!
The integrated pattern play mode turns the RackAttack into a true live-machine. Get your kicks from up to 24 synchronized patterns – triggered simultaneously by one MIDI-note. Assign one of the four effect units to each sound and spice it up with reverb, a modulation delay or the Lo-Fi effect. |

Velocity |
As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. |
Aftertouch |
Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise. |
