Filter Section
High cut and low cut filters with common resonance + 2 band parametric EQ for trimming and boosting what’s necessary to mix the instrument nicely with the rest of the Drum Kit.
In-chain Dynamics
A must-have in any proper channel strip, especially with drums. Little tip; with a bit of look-ahead enabled and both attack and decay set to zero, you can also use it as a saturation unit.
Blend in with the Rest
Route / Send the instrument to one of the two FX Buses or directly to the Master Bus. Only imagination is the limit of what you can do further.
Wait! While sending sound to the FX Buses, you can even choose what precise Slot in the Bus it will be sent to. Use Buses creatively.

Limiter With Soft-Clip Option
Limiter to control and add power to the output. It’s not just a transparent brick-wall limiter; it has its own distinctive punchy ‘tone’ to enhance your drum sounds.
Master Bus Presets
Ready-to-use master presets can get you the desired results extremely fast. Also use this feature to store your own settings to speed things up for grooves to come.
MIDI map and Trigger Outs
Easily manageable MIDI map and employing trigger outs; the cherry on top.
MIDI Drum Map Editor
You can quickly rearrange mapping to match your MIDI controller, DAW or … Instrument (if you want to use Nepheton’s MIDI output capabilities).
Audible Trigger Outputs
The original drum machines were equipped with analog trigger outputs for controlling external gear via the internal sequencer. These outputs were often used by producers to create a signature short pulse sound, a distinctive feature of electro music. With the D16 Nepheton, you now can get that sound effortlessly.
