ENDLESS DESTINATIONS

TRAVELER is an artist-built cinematic hybrid synthesizer with bold dreams and is centered around the one thing that sets us all on our way – Expression. From intimate to thunderous, it Instantly rewards dynamics and carries with it a promise of endless musical journeys.

Crafted with passion for composers, producers, and sound designers, TRAVELER brings together the unmistakable gravity and depth of classic hardware instruments with the flexibility to forge entirely new sonic territory. Its familiar, immediate interface and emotionally rewarding sound engine deliver a unique yet unmistakable character, strong sympathetic harmonics and expansive width and motion, inviting sonic exploration from the very first touch.

FLEXIBLE OSCILLATOR CORE

Traveler's voice comes from three continuously variable oscillators, spanning six octaves with real-time waveform modulation. Each oscillator also has its own unique capabilities. Oscillator 1 has sync and both linear and exponential FM. Oscillator 2 features a 7-voice unison "Super" stack with detune and stereo spread. Oscillator 3 can switch to a Wavetable mode with 85 wavetables, universal format import, and Duo stacking with stereo spread. Traveler can sound like a classic DCO synth, or, via the vintage parameter, age like a classic analog with subtle oscillator drift and non-periodic behavior.

Traveler voices can be used polyphonically or monophonically from 1 up to 16 voice stacks.

MODELED FILTER ARCHITECTURE

Traveler features your choice of Multi-topology low-pass Ladder filters (6, 12, 18, and 24 dB/octave) and a NJM2069-style 24 and 12 dB/octave filter. The NJM2069 was famously used in the Korg DW-8000 and DSS-1. Any filter choice has the option of modern low-end bass compensation. Traveler also includes an independent high-pass filter with linked low-pass cutoff tracking, mixer feedback loop, and pre-filter drive.

IMMERSIVE STEREO PATH

Create subtle timbre differences in stereo with Traveler's Dual/stereo filter topology, including Left/Right frequency spacing. The per-voice "Spread" parameter alternates the filter spacing offset for each note. The output section also features an alternate voice or random voice panning plus a Low Frequency Width parameter that can keep bass locked to the center while treble expands wide. Traveler also features per-oscillator panning and assignable voice-pan modulation.

EXPANSIVE ENVELOPES

Traveler's filter, amplifier, and modulation envelopes are switchable between ADSR and an expanded ADBSSR shape, which is great for evolving sounds. Each time-based stage has a customizable curve that can be selected on the screen. The modulation envelope has an "alternate-control" option that allows it to be triggered by a modulation controller or an LFO cycle for a looping envelope.

SEQUENCER AND ARPEGGIATOR

The Control Tracks are modulation sequencers. Each can generate a repeating series of control values and route that movement to a selected destination. Different step lengths, rates, smoothing, swing, randomization, and ping-pong operation make them particularly useful for rhythmic filter movement, wavetable animation, stereo motion, evolving effects, and other repeating modulation. The Arpeggiator sits beside them and provides independent oscillator destinations along with its own direction, range, speed, gate, swing, destination, latch, and pedal controls. The two systems complement one another: the Arpeggiator can generate musical movement while the Control Tracks animate the sound around it.

EFFECTS

FOR THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE NOTES


World-class, studio-quality effects to complete your odyssey. From shaping controls to sit right in the mix to motion and stereo effects on a cinematic scale.

EQ

Shape TRΛVELER’s tone. Add weight, carve space, or bring forward the detail that lets a sound find its place in the mix.

CHORUS

Analog-inspired, three-mode chorus. Two distinct chorus sounds or both together.

DELAY

Shape echoes your way with your choice of Dual Delay or Ping Pong modes that can deliver locked rhythm to wide deeply modulated evolving trails.

REVERB

Three distinct reverb algorithms can provide everything from a focused space to a vast cinematic atmosphere,
