Akuto Studio's new Chord Machine AKT-0.1 very much fits in with that cool TE mobile aesthetic, with chord generation and MIDI control being its main aims.Ĭhord Machine is a slick-looking controller with a button keyboard that can be played in accordion, piano and Tonnetz configurations. Now here's a release for those of you who get excited whenever Teenage Engineering announces a new hand-held product. There are no videos to watch at this stage, but you can sign up for a launch invite on the website and receive a discount. It’s hard to know what to make of Reliq without seeing it in action. The CV/gate connectivity and 16x16 matrix I/O comes in its own Eurorack-compatible case this can be powered from the main Reliq unit via USB-C or a Eurorack power supply. Naturally, there’s plenty of I/O: three MIDI Outs, one MIDI In, USB-C MIDI, USB Host, 16 x gate and 32 x CV, reset out and clock out. A dedicated plugin enables you to sync and control Reliq from your DAW, too. When it comes to modulation, you can draw automation, LFO shapes and envelopes on the button grid.ĭAW control features, meanwhile, include the option to trigger loops and clips, adjust mixer and instrument settings and arrange clips. You get eight voices of polyphony and 128 patterns per track, an LFO and envelope per track, real-time parameter recording and MPE compatibility. When in its sequencing guise, Reliq offers 16 polyphonic sequencers, while modes include Euclidean and Stochastic. This can be used to connect any input to any output with a single press, and you can store and recall signal routings in real time. The majority of Reliq’s top surface is taken up by a 16x16 grid of buttons. It is a new matrix-based “hybrid control surface” that can be used to route and mix audio, sequence your music and control your DAW. It might look like a standard grid controller – albeit one with quite a few more buttons – but Reliq could be something completely different in the world of control.
