What Turnado Is For
Turnado is a creative multi-effect designed for performance and sound design. It allows reshaping drums, basses, vocals, or virtual instruments in real time, creating build-ups and drops, chopped breaks, expressive filters, and rhythmic textures. Whether in production or on stage, it becomes a central tool for electro, hip-hop, bass music, techno, pop, or any DJ/Live set requiring quick and musical gestures.
Main Features
Immediate Performance
Eight large knobs each trigger an effect and its multi-parameter mapping. Turn, record, automate: the learning curve is instant and the sonic impact immediate.
Dictator Mode
Control the entire rack with a single fader. Define for each macro "when" and "how much" it reacts to program orchestrated movements with a simple slide.
Advanced Modulation per Slot
Each effect has two LFOs/step-sequencers and an envelope follower to animate any parameter. Combine modulation and gestures for lively textures synchronized to the tempo.
Expert Editing
Switch to Expert mode to fine-tune up to five parameters per effect, all assignable to the main macro. Control remains minimal on the surface, but depth is maximal when you need it.
Creative Routing
Choose between serial chaining (1 to 8) or the Dynamic Signal Flow that follows the activation order. Rearrange slots by simple drag-and-drop and instantly test the chain's impact.
Studio and Stage Integration
Full automation, MIDI control, clear interface, stable operation, and NKS support for Komplete Kontrol and Maschine: Turnado fits seamlessly into any modern workflow.

Questions frequently asked
Is Turnado compatible with VST3, AU, and AAX?
Compatibility covers VST-2, VST-3, AU on Mac, and AAX formats. Integration is therefore planned for production environments using these formats.
Can multiple effects be controlled with a single fader?
The Dictator mode allows controlling the entire rack with a single fader. Each macro can be adjusted according to its timing and intensity of response.
How many effects can be manipulated simultaneously?
Eight large knobs provide access to eight effect slots, each with mapping of several parameters. Routing can follow a serial chain from 1 to 8 or the activation order via the Dynamic Signal Flow. Slots can be rearranged by drag-and-drop.
How to animate effects to tempo in Turnado?
Each slot has two LFOs or step-sequencers, as well as an envelope follower. These modulation sources can animate effect parameters in addition to the macros.
What Mac or Windows configuration is required?
On macOS, version 10.13 or later is required; on Windows, compatibility starts at Windows 7. The software is provided as a download.
