Sound Is Colour – Finally a Synth for Musicians, not Engineers (Abyss II)

[Alternative ways of interfacing with a synth engines]

"'Klangfarbe' is not a metaphor, it is how our brains perceive sound. But if sound is colour, then why are most synths built like lab equipment?

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.
