You can control pulse-width modulation via LFO, envelope or manually, and the LFO syncs to BPM with nine waveform shapes. The resonant filter responds to envelope, LFO and keyboard tracking, with ADSR envelope, portamento and pitch bender rounding out the controls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">\u201cIONA captures the classic 101 tone we all know and love, then opens it up with a deeper sequencer and workflow refinements that fit today\u2019s production styles,\u201d says Neal Gustafson, Software Marketing Manager at AIR Music Technology. \u201cWhether you\u2019re sketching on MPC or finishing a track in your DAW, it\u2019s the same instrument \u2013 and the same sound \u2013 everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AIR Iona - A Faithful Recreation of your Favorite \u201880s Monosynth\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZBLJ2nYY8iI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The expanded 128-step pattern sequencer keeps the original\u2019s intuitive flow while adding transpose\/shift functions and a graphical editor.

Over 100 factory presets cover bass, lead and sequence sounds, while five colour skins (grey, red, blue, white, yellow) can be saved per preset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">IONA works across standalone MPC, MPC Desktop and DAWs. Whether you\u2019re a beatmaker chasing powerful basslines, a producer wanting 101 authenticity without the hardware, or an electronic musician who relies on classic analogue tones, it delivers unmistakable acid bass wobbles, squelchy leads and punchy sequences without the drift, maintenance or price tag of original hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Available now from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.airmusictech.com\/\">AIR Music Tech.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source mixdownmag.com.au \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AIR Music Tech has released IONA, a virtual instrument that faithfully recreates the legendary SH-101 synthesiser while adding modern production capabilities.
