MATERIAL IN MOTION
Move between resonant characters with a single Material control. Skin, Wood, Pipe, Metal, 808 Conga, 909 Tom and SUBTRX Orbit each bring their own response — a tactile starting point for distinctive percussion.
SHAPE THE
ORGANIC.
FORM / 03 turns material, resonance and motion into expressive percussion. From intimate wooden tones to metallic textures and electronic bodies, find a sound that feels alive.
FROM MY WORKFLOW
— MAX TEBBERT
— MAX TEBBERT
My years exploring modular systems shaped FORM / 03. I wanted to bring the functions I love into one instrument, built around the way I actually make music. These are sounds and approaches I use in my own productions — shared with you as an invitation to explore them in yours.
SHAPE THE STRIKE
Set the energy with Strike, introduce friction with Air and soften the onset with Attack. Warmth adds soft saturation and body, helping each hit find its place in your groove.
LIVING RESONANCE
Tune the body, shape its ring with Decay and Tone, then add a separate sympathetic layer with Resonate. Motion introduces small tuning variations between notes for a less static, more organic feel.
TRANSIENT CONTROL
Refine attack, pump and sustain independently of the instrument’s sound controls. Adjust detector speed, choose the full signal or dry body as the source, and engage optional clipping for a more assertive edge.
FOCUS THE SPECTRUM
Bring definition with the high-shelf Brightness control and carve space with dedicated high-pass and low-pass filters. Keep the low end focused and adjust the upper edge without losing the character of the body.
MOTION YOU CAN SEE
Two independent LFOs bring movement to eight sound controls. Choose sine, triangle, saw or square waves, run freely or sync to Live, and set a positive or negative depth. The knobs follow the actual modulation while preserving your base settings.
YOUR WORKSPACE
Choose five colour themes in dark or light mode, with analog or dial-style controls. Adjust the Material glow and switch between English and German interface text to suit your session.
