Universal MIDI pad controller including standalone step sequencer.
ARUBA is a powerful beat production and performance instrument. With 16 hypersensitive, illuminated RGB pads, an integrated standalone step sequencer, a flexible pad repeat engine, and incredible plug-in control, ARUBA offers an exciting drum machine-style workflow for any DAW or hardware MIDI setup.
Together with the included Nectarine 2.5 software, ARUBA becomes a plug-in control powerhouse for VST, VST3 and AU plug-ins. Whether you're playing a single multi-sound drum plug-in or an extensive kit with multiple plug-ins, assigning pads is fast and intuitive thanks to real-time auditioning. Nectarine 2.5 can host up to 16 samples or instrument plugins, each with up to 4 insert FX and an additional 4 global send FX plugins. All settings can be stored in a multipatch and recalled at the touch of a button. Nectarine's Mix View displays all loaded plugins and mixer settings in a traditional console design.
Plugin mode provides instant control over the parameters of hosted instrument plugins. When programming drum sounds, quick access to important parameters such as pitch, decay or level is essential. Nectarine software simplifies the process by automatically mapping the relevant parameters to ARUBA's 8 knobs based on the last triggered pad.
On-board pad repeat makes creating dynamic rolls and flams a breeze. Extensive customizable parameters such as repetition rate, gate, accent interval, accent, velocity offset, swing, trigger mode and clock source allow plug-ins and hardware devices to play expressively.
As soon as the SEQ button is pressed, the 16 LED pads turn into the ever-popular 16-step programming interface and ARUBA's hardware sequencer comes to life. 16 patterns (one per pad) with 4 parts (each consisting of up to 16 steps) add up to 64 steps. This leaves a lot of freedom and flexibility for inspired beat creation. It's all about interaction and performance: Parts can be triggered in any combination at any time. Each pattern, and even each part in a pattern, can have a different length - making it massively easier to create interesting poly-rhythms. Many of the editing options go down to step level. Included are play rate, velocity, accent, gate and swing. Internal and external clock modes help to achieve perfect synchronization. ARUBA's sequencer can also be used standalone with external instruments, for which a MIDI-Out connection is available.
The new, comprehensive Nektarine 2.5 software update adds a variety of beatmaking features, including drum sample playback, a redesigned user interface and exclusive drum sounds. Nektarine 2.5 adds the missing element for creating beats with Nektar's ARUBA Beat Composer: the new integrated DP-1 Drum Player plug-in plays any WAV or AIFF audio files at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz sample rate, and brings a library of over 500 drum sounds - right out of the box. Nectarine 2.5 transforms ARUBA Beat Composer into a complete beatmaking solution.
Central to working with ARUBA is the new Pads view: it combines 16 virtual pads showing all ARUBA pad settings at a glance, a mixer instrument channel strip with plug-in slots, sends, pan, volume, mute and solo parameters, and a browser area for loading content. The browser window supports quick drag-and-drop kit creation.
The Nectarine software (VST, VST3, AU, AAX plugin and stand-alone app) is an integrated part of Aruba. It already allows users to host up to 16 plug-in instruments along with effect plug-ins, and now includes 4 custom drum instruments.
K1, S1 and T1 are synth drum instruments based on a harmonic oscillator and an FX section with overshoot distortion (a very effective sound shaping tool), compressor and EQ.
