Sound history can help you compare the obtained sounds, while the filter feedback feature allows much more radical sound distortion. Together with the collection of modulators, unusual filters and effects (such as the 'Aetherizer' or the 'Supercomb' ) these features greatly extend the application's sound capabilities. In addition to this, it comes with advanced sound generating methods, such as subtractive synthesis, granular sampling and wave-morphing. Additional variations can be applied randomly.ĪBSYNTH bundles a collection of more than expressive 2,100 presets, ranging from classic keyboard sounds to much more complex grooves. With the 'Sound Mutator', you can modify all the audio elements, from the oscillator settings, envelopes, filters and more. It features fine tuning tools that you can use to adjust the bass level, the resonance or the depth, the distortion level, as well as mutation options to create completely new sounds by combining characteristics of several sounds. The main interface offers fast access to all the available sounds, instruments and effects.

IncludingĪ sophisticated effect system, the application is a powerful, yet easy to use sound design tool. Exceptional.ABSYNTH provides you with an advanced semi-modular synthesizer that features original effects and sampling techniques to help you unleash your creativity and generate innovative sounds. The mechanisms and the sonics emulated here may be old-school, but the creativity engendered is bang up to date. This is a fantastic resource for vintage-style echoes, but it goes far beyond their original limits with the sheer range of adjustment available. Alternatively, you can connect a footswitch for external tap tempo and other switching options. For performance, too, the expression input allows control of various parameters via an expression pedal.

Get to know what the knobs do and you’ll come up with some great variations that you’ll want to return to - which you can, as there’s onboard patch storage (eight from the front panel, 300 via MIDI). This is an inspirational pedal, the sort that you could sit and play with for hours on end, enjoying taking your playing in new directions. In fact, with all of the variation available, particularly the choice of heads/feedback and the spacing, there’s a wealth of stuff to explore here. So we’ve established it can emulate vintage machines without the bulk, noise and constant maintenance, but how about getting creative with that? Well, all straightforward delay tasks can be tackled with real attention to detail over the sound of the repeats, but there’s more: complex rhythmic repeat patterns, sheets of ambience hanging in the background, a sound-on-sound looper capability. The Studio setting gives a fuller sound and is great for unleashing your inner Elvis with some Sun Studio slapback. Marked on the dial are Triplet, Silver ratio and Golden ratio settings, but the knob morphs continuously between them with real subtlety and it nails the RE-501’s head positions somewhere between eight and nine o’clock.

Another knob, Mechanics, also follows that route, taking each machine further away from tip-top condition and sounding just that little bit more wobbly with wow and flutter-style pitch modulation.īy comparison, the other two machines have unevenly spaced playback heads, but that doesn’t create an issue because the Volante has a Spacing knob that effectively changes head spacings. Further colouring is carried out with the Low Cut knob that naturally rolls off the bottom-end for thinner-sounding repeats, while the Wear control simulates the loss of high-end due to the degradation of the recording medium, producing softer, duller repeats. The three different echo types each have their own distinct timbres, which really becomes apparent when you turn up the Rec Level knob, simulating driving the input of the real thing and getting a crunchier response that can make the repeats quite distorted at extreme settings. Adding to the sonic capability, you also get a spring reverb that can be mixed in with a single knob. You can also turn feedback on individually for each head and can even have a head’s feedback working if the head isn’t active.

In the Volante, all three types benefit from four selectable playback heads, each of which can be set to full or half volume. The two options here are a multi-head Space Echo-style tape echo and a higher fidelity reel-to-reel machine, examples of which were often used to create echo in a studio setting. Subtitled Magnetic Echo Machine, the Strymon Volante aims to not only recreate the sound of drum echo machines, as typified by the Echorec, but also offers the sound of tape echoes.
