Tools For Music Makers

Generative MIDI

DOLMEN

Set a key, a scale and a feel, and it writes a bar. Lock the notes you want, roll the rest, and what you kept stays exactly where you put it.

It makes MIDI, never sound. Everything it produces is a region you drag onto a track and edit like something you played yourself.

Lock what works

Keep the ten notes that landed and regenerate the other six. Locked steps survive every roll, follow a change of key, and are stored with the project.

Your own library

Point it at a folder of MIDI you already own. It indexes everything in there by label, pack, key and length, then builds from your material.

Nothing hidden

No cloud, no account, no telemetry. It contacts a server only to activate or release your licence, and otherwise only asks whether a newer version exists. Exactly what that means.

Glue bus compressor

IMPACT Engine

IMPACT Engine is a stereo glue bus compressor for drums, synths, vocals or a whole mix.

One Glue knob changes how it listens, over the classic controls. A sidechain input, a meter with two faces, Drive and Mix, and a limiter you can set.

Saturation and distortion

VARDE

Seven characters of saturation, from a rounded tanh curve through a wavefolder to a rectifier that grows an octave under the note, with up to eight bands driven independently and a valve unit behind the grille that flares with every hit.

Level matched so the characters compare fairly, oversampled so it stays clean when cranked, and bass protected so the low end survives it.

Capture and stretch granular effect

LINTEL

Capture 2, 4, 8 or 16 bars of whatever reaches its input, locked to the host tempo, then play it back as a cloud of grains stretched anywhere from 0.25x to 32x.

Pitch-locked or varispeed, 8 grain voices, and a reverb, a rhythmic gate and a delay you can drag into any order. Put it on one track, capture a sound, record the result onto another.

The company

Takt

Takt is the Norwegian, Swedish and German word for beat and measure. In industrial engineering, takt time is the pace a production line has to run at. The company is named for rhythm in the most literal sense available.

The tools are meant to be stepping stones: markers left by someone who went ahead of you, useful for finding your own way across. Where the track goes from there is your decision, and the plug-in holds no opinion about it.

Takt Audio Labs is based in Portugal. Every plug-in is signed and notarised, and has to pass validation at the strictest level the tools allow before it goes on sale.

Wondering whether something here fits the way you work? Write to support@taktaudiolabs.com and ask. A real person reads it.
