The Next Generation of Hands-on Music Creation and Performance

If you're ready for a whole new approach to electronic music production, then step up to Feeltune's Rhizome SXE groove production workstation. The Rhizome SXE merges the power of a dedicated audio computer with the hands-on creativity of a hardware unit, to create an exceptionally playable production environment that's actually just as capable performing on stage as it is in your recording studio. You can go from playing your software instruments (via MIDI controller or the 16 touch-sensitive pads), to creating sequences all the way to arranging a complete track, without ever missing a beat.





The Rhizome SXE gives you access to every feature you need to create music, right from the front panel. You have 32 endless rotary encoders and 16 backlit buttons to control your project, and four large displays give you immediate visual cues as to what each knob and button is controlling. It's the ideal host for your VST instruments and effects, eliminating the need to change settings with a mouse - just grab a knob and turn it, just as you'd expect from a hardware unit. So with the hands-on immediacy of hardware, the power and expandability of a computer, and worldwide acclaim from top producers and artists, the Feeltune Rhizome SXE groove production workstation could be just what you've been searching for.

The best of hardware and software, combined
So many Sweetwater customers ask us how to get the tactile experience of working with hardware unit when using software. The Rhizome SXE has this nailed down pat. A staggering array of encoders, buttons, and switches are always assigned to a parameter, depending on what you're working on at the moment. It's easy to create your own custom control maps, but the beauty is that the Rhizome SXE makes you feel like you're loading up patches on a hardware groovebox, even though you're actually working with software.

Powerful computer processing and connectivity
The Rhizome SXE packs an i5 2500 quad-core CPU with 4GB of RAM - ample power to run even large sample-based VST instruments with ease. A built-in 500GB hard drive gives you plenty of storage for your projects and files. It's easy to connect external drives and devices too, with six USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, one gigabit ethernet port, one eSata port, one HDMI port, and one DVI port. There's one MIDI input and three outputs, for controlling external gear with the Rhizome SXE's sequencer. And balanced TRS audio I/O is ready for connecting to a sound system or recording equipment.

VST compatible
You can install your own Windows-compliant VST instruments and effects onto the Rhizome SXE, creating your own custom set of sounds that you can pull up instantly. And thanks to the built-in sequencer and extensive hands-on controls, you can go from auditioning your new software synth to creating sounds and producing tracks faster than you ever could with a mouse and keyboard.
