"Dear friends,

The time has come.
ARK is ready and you cannot imagine what this milestone means to us, this is the biggest project we've been involved in, and it could not have happened without the best of the super heroes by our side: Mangu from Tesseract modular!

Release date is October 26th and final sales price after taxes is 666€ - $765USD. ARK also comes as a POD bundle for standalone action for 808€ - 920USD

What is ARK?​

ARK is a music production computer where algorithms, chance, and signals converge in a single creative workspace.

A 16-track canvas where you can place CV generators, drum voices, synth voices, and different types of samplers, including drum players, slicers, and granular samplers.

At its core is a powerful composition system built around scales, chords, and harmonic relationships. Build progressions, generate melodies, and develop musical ideas that stay connected to the harmonic context of your track."
