About This Item
- Music Ideas Out of The Box: Donner Essential B1 synthesizer offers 128 presets for storing your music ideas. If you are new to electronic music, you could also benefit from its factory contents. With the built-in sequencer, you can start making loops and patterns in minutes.
- Innovative Haptic Pads: The modern silicon haptic pads with dynamic color-changing backlights outperform the traditional tiny little buttons on the original 303. With these pads, you can perform synthesis parameters, sequence steps, and play notes expressively.
- Intuitive Step Sequencer: The sequencer is the key to the Essential B1. Instead of giving you one of the most complicated sequencers on the planet, we make it as intuitive as it can be. No need to be an expert to create complex patterns and rhythms.
- Faithful To The Original: There are also several live performance features while running patterns, to make the Essential B1 more playable. The synthesis engine on Essential B1 is straightforward. With a single oscillator, filter, and envelope, it captures the essence of classic analog bass synthesis.
- Analog Built-In Effects: The analog saturation and delay effects located at the end of the signal path make the sound of the Essential B1 more warm and fancy, helping you get the right sound from the vintage-inspired circuitry.
- Versatile Connectivity: You can connect the Essential B1 to your DAW using the USB Type-C, serving as a MIDI controller to speed up your music production process. Two full-size 5-pin MIDI I/O and Sync I/O ports let you integrate with other hardware.
- Tips: We have compiled three guide documents (PDF) for software installation, use, and troubleshooting, which are located in the "Product guides and documents" section on this page.
