Nepheton is D16's hyper-realistic take on the classic Roland 808 drum machine. As with Drumazon, their 909 emulation, they have extended the functionality of the drum machine with the plugin, while remaining highly focused on a realistic recreation of the original’s sound.

Sound von Nepheton und Drumazon sehr nahe am Original bewegt, durch zahlreiche Ergänzungen aber auch weit darüber hinaus gehen kann. Die Plug-ins besitzen eine Flexibilität und Vielseitigkeit, wie sie nur eine algorithmische Klangerzeugung bieten kann und Shuffle-Funktion oder der ausgefeilte Randomizer helfen auch der Kreativität auf die Sprünge.

Once again, any 808 samples can be deleted off hard drives. Puritans should flock to the Nepheton - you'd probably like the interface. Non-puritans can be content to know that they have in possession part of the DNA that makes up Electronic music. Feel free to pervert it! love it as a sound module! Great work! ... The Nepheton is solid! You'll be impressed!

Nepheton è certamente uno dei migliori cloni della drum 808 machine. Il suono caldo e profondo è incredibilmente vicino a quello dell’hardware originale.

Nepheton is the truth - plain and simple. Few have such a successful record at emulation. D16 has proven again that no hardware is safe from becoming software. This is a brilliant instrument that will surely be in many productions.

Der Klang ist selbstverständlich über jeden Zweifel erhaben und macht mächtig Alarm.

Like Drumazon and Phoscyon before it, Nepheton is as good an imitation of its hardware forebear as I reckon we’re ever going to see. [...] If you’re after an 808 and are sick of the countless sampled renditions you probably already own, then look no further – Nepheton has ‘that’ sound right down to a tee, and in the mix you’d never know it wasn’t the real thing.

We can definitely recommend it if you're fed up with using 808 samples and would like something that you can tweak like the real thing.
