A Synth for Musicians (Not Engineers)

Sound is Color
Warm. Cold. Dark. Brilliant. Silky. Lush. Juicy. Fat… Notice something? We use the exact same vocabulary for colours and textures than we use for sounds. The word “Klangfarbe” isn’t a metaphor. It is how our brain actually processes sound: the true nature of sound is colour.

Made for Creatives
If sound is colour – why are most synths complex, techy, full of numbers, algorithms, and operators? Abyss II is built on a simple yet radical premise: a synth designed around how we actually experience sound. It keeps you in the flow rather than forcing you into abstract formulas. Just play with colours, as you would mess with paint.

Your Secret Superpower
Your taste is your secret superpower! Stop asking: “Is this correct? Am I doing this right?” Instead, simply pick and combine sound-colours, place them on the “gradient” and ask yourself: “Does it sound interesting to me?”. This naturally leads you to your own, unique signature sound. And you can feed it anything: the noisy call of a distant crane recorded with your phone, a vocal snippet or the sound of plugging in your guitar. As one musician said: “I am still trying to find a sample that does not end up as an interesting sound.”

But…Where’s the Catch?
We asked ourselves the same thing. So we gave Abyss II to professional musicians and sound designers. Put mildly, they fell in love:
– Instant cinematic
– Hard to make it sound cheap
– More instinct than mind
– A very natural synth
– An intuitive musician’s tool
– Abyss expanded my musical identity
