Terrain Synth: a novel synth by Conductive Labs - #Knobcon 2025

video upload by CatSynth TV

See the announcement post here.

"We get a tour of the new Terrain Synth from Conductive Labs. Terrain synthesis expands on the concept of wavetable synthesis by treating the wavetable as a 3D contour that can be traversed in any path or direction (i.e., not just forwards and backwards through the individual wave cycles). These "terrains" can be traditional wavetables as well as mathematical functions (like the complex maps we have featured in some of our math videos), or even JPEG and PNG images.
