Where to get itAvailable from D16 Groupd16.pl

Nepheton is a drum machine synthesizer plugin featuring 17 synthesized percussion instruments with individual effect chains, two parallel FX buses with reorderable effects, and a master chain with multiband compression and limiting. It offers both an internal 48-pattern sequencer (in Live and Host Note modes) and external MIDI sound module operation, making it suitable for sound design, beat creation, and drum processing in production workflows.
