D16 Group Nithonat Now Available

You might remember the Nithonat from this post. It is now available at the D16 Group website. You'll find more info and some samples there.

For the archives:
"Nithonat is a fully synthesized drum machine based on the classic 606. The unique sound of this machine has been used by many artists over the years in the production of Electro, Hip-Hop and R n B.

The original 606 has been perfectly emulated. However, since Nithonat is software based, D16 were able to enhance the original with extra functionality.
