Introduction

Sonic Charge µTonic (pronounced "MicroTonic") is a VST / AU plug-in for Windows and Mac featuring a unique drum and percussion synthesizer combined with a pattern based drum-machine engine.

You can use µTonic as a sound module to play drum sounds from your MIDI keyboard or sequencer, or you can use the built-in pattern engine to play drum patterns in sync with your sequencer. The sound of µTonic is 100% synthetic and rendered in real-time. No samples or pre-rendered waveforms are used.

Sonic Charge µTonic was created by Magnus Lidström. Magnus is best known for his work with Propellerhead Software. In particular, he was the brain behind the highly acclaimed Malström synthesizer introduced in Reason 2.0.

Click on the speaker on the right to listen to a demo track, then head over to the download section to download a fully functional demo version. We are convinced that you will find µTonic thoroughly unlike anything you have heard so far.

Tin Tonic

As an alternative to just purchasing a license for µTonic, you can acquire the exclusively designed boxed edition called Tin Tonic. The package consists of a metal can containing a USB memory device that provides the installation for µTonic.

The flash memory will be branded with your personal registration information before delivery. This makes installation as easy as inserting the device into your computer and clicking a few buttons. After installation, the device is not required again unless you wish to reinstall.

Optionally, you may choose to use the USB memory as a conventional flash media for storing and transferring your own files. The flash memory can hold up to 64MB.
