Introducing Tracktion's Abyss

A new, unique synthesiser has been introduced into the market courtesy of Tracktion Corporation.

Abyss sets itself apart by representing timbres as colours, delivering a fresh approach to both sound design and music production. Created by Peter V, a mathematician, AI veteran and musician by heart, this concept, combined with powerful, intuitive modulation makes it easier than ever to create nuanced, expressive sounds and textures, especially when utilising an MPE controller like the ROLI Seaboard. 

Abyss' tone colour approach creates a virtual instrument that focuses on the 'art' rather than numbers, providing an inspiring new way to create complex sounds. Abyss can tweak, mangle and modulate sound to sonic oblivion, it can build endlessly evolving cinematic textures or create detailed, nuanced MPE instruments. With more than two thousand tone colours, users can define the basic timbral dimension of their sound by placing their chosen tints or shades on a central tone gradient.
 
This powerful sound engine offers all the flexibility of a classical synth combined with rich, textures and a natural rainbow of sounds. With it, musicians and producers can quickly and easily shape tone colours in new, unheard of ways, enabling them to explore fresh new sonic possibilities.
