Description: Gloomy. Bright. Organic. Rich. Inspiring. Quick. Visual. Mystical. Modulating. visual synthesizer.
Abyss is a visual synth with character and some fairy tale dust. It features dark vibrating drones, vibrant cinematic pads and rich evolving textures. With Abyss you will instantly find inspiration for your music and sound projects!
Instruments with nuances – The color approach provides an easy way to create complex sounds. This is combined with a powerful and easy to use modulation system. Tune, distort, modulate your sound to sonic frenzy or create familiar instruments
Tone Colors – Whether we are describing sounds or colors – we use the same words like warm, cool, dark, soft or energetic. It is no coincidence that we call tone-color with the same words. In Abyss different sounds are represented by different colors – it’s a whole new way to create sounds.
Rich and Deep Sound – The Abyss sound engine combines the rich and deep textures of natural sounds with the efficient flexibility of classic synths. Of course, there is a virtual analog filter, but there are also controls that let you shape tone colors in unheard of ways. Discover new sound possibilities!
Sound Surfing – Scrolling through endless lists of weirdly named sounds isn’t always fun. In Abyss, you can simply navigate through the panel with over 2000 color shades. Find your sound faster than ever.
Variation that makes sounds interesting – By placing color tones on a gradient, you create a palette of timbre variations that becomes the basis of your patch. Whether you mainly use presets or are an experienced sound engineer, with Abyss you simply follow your intuition to create your own signature sound.
