Dopamine walkthrough video

Your fast lane to chart-ready tracks

Made exclusively for Native Instruments by Big Wave Audio, Dopamine lets you trigger real-time effects like side-chain, lo-fi, and tape stop right from your keyboard. Get over 200 presets for pop, EDM, trap, and beyond. Use filter tags to find sounds like pads, leads, plucks, and basses. And instantly create diverse sonic and rhythmic sequences with the built-in step sequencer and arpeggiator.

Tweak your sound fast with amp and filter envelopes, dial in low-end with the Bass knob, and switch to Mono or Glide for sharp lead lines.

Every patch has a custom effects chain. Use the Mod wheel to blend between the left and the right effect settings for dynamic control.

Trigger up to 24 customizable effects with key switches or the step sequencer. Edit sequences in your DAW using MIDI drag-and-drop.

Pick from arpeggiator presets inspired by classic and modern synths. Shape the groove with humanize, swing, length, and shift controls.

Access a library of MIDI chord progressions in a wide range of genres, ready to drag and drop into your DAW.
