Description

Just the Tonic is a Max for Live instrument that packages up a single channel of the Microtonic Drumsynth VST, optimising the interface for use within a drum rack and also specifically with the Ableton Push. It features an easy to use preset system with a dedicated browser and editor that allows you to import from preset files directly into the 32 available slots. These can then be scrolled through in realtime directly from the device, even on the Push.

Watch the video walkthrough linked below for an overview.

To use it, you’ll need a licensed installation of Microtonic which you can download from:
