Description: Gloomy. Bright. Organic. Rich. Inspiring. Quick. Visual. Mystical. Modulating. Visual synthesizer.
Abyss is a visual synthesizer with character and a bit of fabulous dust. It features dark vibrating drones, vibrant cinematic pads, and rich evolving textures. With Abyss, you’ll instantly find inspiration for your music and sound projects!
Nuanced Instruments – 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 madness or create familiar instruments
Colors of Tones – Whether we are describing sounds or colors – we use the same words such as warm, cold, dark, soft or energetic. It is not by chance that we call tone-color with the same words. In Abyss, different sounds are presented in different colors – a completely new way of creating sounds.
Rich and deep sound – The Abyss sound engine combines the rich and deep textures of natural sounds with the effective flexibility of classic synthesizers. There is a virtual analog filter, of course, but there are also controls to shape tone colors in unheard of ways. Discover new sonic possibilities!
Sound Surfing – Going through endless lists of sounds with strange names isn’t always fun. In Abyss, you can simply navigate a 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 a seasoned sound engineer, with the Abyss you simply follow your intuition to create your own signature sound.
