Monolith – Create Your Own Beat Machine

Monolith enables you to create your own beat making environment by connecting modules. You can select your favorite modules freely. Monolith is on Kickstarter and has 20 days to go (at the time I am writing this).

Monolith was created by NOEL-KIT, an electronic musician who plays in DUB-Russell. The band is a Japanese electronic music group that started in 2010. All of their original sounds are created with Cycling ’74 Max software. This Kickstarter introduces you to the beat-machine that NOEL-KIT has been developing for the past decade.

Cases:

* For Production and Mastering: You can create the original environment with multiple sequencers and synths, samplers, and effects.

* For Live Performances: Monolith supports Ableton Live Link. You connect to the same network and jam with others using multiple devices running Link-enabled software without MIDI cables.

* For Musicians: Monolith can be used just as multiple effectors. Using an external input, you can create your original programmable effects set-up.

There is a lot of detailed information on the Kickstarter about operative modules, sequencers, synths & samplers, and effectors. It also has details about the console and sound & effect modules.
