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 will 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 sound frenzy or create familiar instruments.
Colors of Tones – Whether we describe 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.
