Critter & Guitari is known for its quirky designs of musical gadgets and the new 5 Moons multitrack recorder does not fall short of that expectation. It is made with a simplistic design to ensure that it is easy to use -- the 5 Moons is made from a wooden pine material at the enclosure.
Under the hood, users can find a powerful 48KHz 16-bit sampler along with storage that holds about 20 hours of samples and compositions in total through the help of an 8GB microSD card. It is a 5 track device, as suggested by the namesake. Additionally, the 5 Moons does not have a screen so everything is controlled by the buttons and sliders.
