Every aspect of Box Of Tricks has been shaped by Imogen Heap.
An exclusive selection of her instruments, sampled in detail and with custom scripts, effects, and tools; all designed the way she wanted to use them.
Box Of Tricks has already been beta-tested in Imogens live performances and studio projects: a process that helped generate ideas and refine the instruments.
From an initial idea about a free Heap instrument, to the final result, 3 years later; Box Of Tricks is a truly extraordinary collaboration.
EUCLIDEAN BEATS
Included with Cocktail Kit and Vocal + Body Percussion Kit
An exciting way to generate complex beats, based on Euclidean mathematics.
No matter how many steps or hits in each individual pattern, they will always be evenly spaced across the bar.
Assign some controllers and jam: you can’t put a beat wrong.
JAMMER 2.0
The latest evolution of our generative arpeggiator, with new ideas from Imogen.
Hold a chord, and let it evolve – or loop a section and jam between 12 sequences.
Record your patterns with the MIDI recorder, and drag and drop into your DAW.
RECORDING BOX OF TRICKS
