It's so easy to go deep in sound design that I started to believe I became a genius sound designer. But then I read the manual and I understood that you are the one! What a masterpiece! You call it a visual synthesizer, but it is such a musical one! Amazing work...
Haha, thx! Abyss has been designed to make sound design the most natural and intuitive thing - so that you can bring out your ideas much easier ... and your talent and ingenuity comes to the surface!
I would like to recommend you one thing, if you do want to go very deep in sound design in a way which produces somewhat similar results to this synth I would recommend you look into Pigments 3 and the harmonic (additive) engine, or any other additive and/or spectral synths (Parsec, Razor, Loom, Iris, though I'd say Pigments would be the closest). Abyss itself utilizes spectral synthesis which is fairly close to additive synthesis, so if you're able to master Pigment's 3's harmonic engine (which is honestly quite easy and intuitive itself) you might be able to program you're own amazing and bespoke additive soundscapes. Though while additive synthesis is very similar to spectral they aren't exactly the same, so in order to get as super close to the that spectral sound as possible you may need to use some trickery like modulation of certain parameters, unison modes, noise from the sampler oscillator, stuff like this. And don't get me wrong, Abyss looks super awesome and inspiring to work with and there's a pretty high chance I'll cop it myself at some point, I'm just saying you might also find value in being able to create such otherworldly sounds yourself, hopefully this was somewhat useful ^^
wowza! You all are always pushing the UI innovation envelope and i love it! I wish that the same type of plugin creativity could be found in my industry too... image editing. Adobe has done their best to make plugin dev as difficult and expensive as possible, and that's killed the third party market for amazing tools like yours!
Sounds brilliant!! I have to give the demo a run. Heard some Bladerunner sci-fi vibes and almost mellotron type sounds here. Which are my two favorite vibes for a synth. Thanks 🙏 for this video.
I must modulate ZA Tooning to create ZA Vintage Voe & ZFlutter Effect ....!!! Thank you so much this design is brillant I found myself just in awe of your voice. I mus get this sofuware asap. The name Abyss as I AM that I AM a *Babe of the Abyss. --deep ancient shet) LOVE & Light of the highest.
I appreciate this nice overview. Does this completely generate sound out of nothing, or are there any sound sources that take up hard drive space? The sound quality is very impressive!
Beautiful interface. But when I "switch to the 'Edit View'" in my Registered Copy of Abyss that opens in "INIT" I see...nothing. Literally an empty black space vs all the colored dots shown in the video at the 1:14 mark. There are also no presets that I can see/locate. I'm sure there is a simple explanation somewhere. It would be nice to be able to locate an answer in the manual, which is a pretty manual, but so far I cannot troubleshoot this.
Sorry to ask a dumb question, but why does abyss not have any effect on a mix I'm building in fl studio? Does it only respond to a hardware synth input?
Awesome synth!!. However I have trouble using it with my DAW (Mixcraft9). Don't have (or can't find) the option to scale the plugin display size so I can't see the entire interface even on a 24" screen. Has anyone had a similar problem and been able to solve it?
Yes, it is an universal app - hence runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers, because it contains executable code for both architectures. Of course this depends on your host. It is tested on Mac Mini M1
Reason11 does not support loading VST3 plugins, only VST2 plugins. VST2 has been deprecated for some years time and new developers are subject to Steinberg's licensing rules that say they can only release VST3 plugins.
@@dawesome Oh dear... Works as a vst3 plugin in other DAW's but doestn't support vst3... HAHA. Danke Peter... hatte das Problem gar nicht auf dem Schirm.

Huh
This is a most excellent instrument .Easy to use .Good value ! Very intuitive .And good on CPU demands so far .
Probably the MOST beautiful synth GUI in my eyes! So inviting to dive in and swim in the controls and lush sounds!
Just wow! This looks like my dream drone synth. Amazing work!
Very nice addition to the soft synth world. Congratulations!
this is amazing°
Joining the chorus of praise for this awesome Dawsome creation! 😍
This makes some really beautiful sounds so easily. It’s exactly what I wanted but didn’t know it until I used it.
Wow! This is so impressive. Well done Peter V (master brain) for coming up with such a creative way to sculpt sound.
the UI is amazingly beatiful...
I love how the logo of the plugin is simple
wowza! You all are always pushing the UI innovation envelope and i love it!

This is such an inspiring and beautifully sounding concept, awesome! 🤓 Will have to get this soon! 😋
This guy could do some great ASMR content. Anyway, cool plugin for atmosphere.
this thing can easily create an ambiance that really sorrounds you
That’s a lovely looking synth. Looks really intuitive too!
Great for Cinematic Music 😁👍
First time I find a German accent on the English language charming. Well done! 😉
Love it, just what my Seaboard has been waiting for. Great escapism.
Super interesting, exciting, & unique approach!
Great UI design but also sounds good!

Thanks! Each colour on the Edit page represents a sound. The installer is less than 50Mb. Give the 90-day free demo a try :)
@@TracktionSoftware that's amazing synth programming!
This sounds incredible, can't wait to bury myself in it's sonic glory...
I'm so going to try this for 90 days :D
This looks very interesting and super cool. I should definitely check it out for my channel.
Well dayum!
what keyboard are you using 2:03? btw can't wait to try this plug in looks glorious
I may get in trouble for this, but I hereby proclaim the Abyss to be the spiritual successor to the Ensoniq Fizmo.
Well done, Peter!

@erniesfo please send me a pm to peter@dawesomemusic.com so that I can help resolving this!
There was an issue with the Mac installer that occasionally hit a few users. This problem has been resolved with the current Version 1.0.1
Wow, this is insanely cool. Is there a way to limit this to play over a certain keyboard range?
You can use the KEYTRACK modulator, draw a curve thats active only in the range you are interested in and modulate LEVEL with it.
Great sounds. But even as I light a match, can't read anything on the screen. Does it have slighter better skins ? Regards.
So awesome!....do you need an actual keyboard/synthiziser to use this software, or could you run it on a windows pc ?
Can you limit polyphony to make monophonic sounds with glide between notes or no?
This is currently not supported.
Sorry to ask a dumb question, but why does abyss not have any effect on a mix I'm building in fl studio? Does it only respond to a hardware synth input?
Are there plans that external samples can be imported and treated like stock patches?
Dawesome Myth
how do i stop it from changing the key?
Can you use it just as a normal synth with plucks, bells, all sorts of stuff?. Thank you.
I am a Mac user and new to Synth plugins- Is it ok on the CPU?
Awesome synth!!. However I have trouble using it with my DAW (Mixcraft9). Don't have (or can't find) the option to scale the plugin display size so I can't see the entire interface even on a 24" screen. Has anyone had a similar problem and been able to solve it?
😍😍😍
I'm new, it sounds wondrous. Can i use in Logic or Audacity? Thanks
Yes, it's offered as both VST3 and AU and will work in both.
Ohhh... I wish I'd found Abyss before I spend $$$$$ on other synths which didn't quite to what I want.
Does it run natively on Apple Silicon? Is it an universal app?

I'll be honest, I hate that font used for the Abyss logo, in my mind it doesn't convey what the rest of the synth looks like
Weird
likewise man. everything else is beautiful and the logo looks so out of place
so is this the dj program that does the edm dubstep brostep teistoloveforever sounds to make me famous
Me like ! Windows 10 only ? damm
It most defnitely supports mac, at least as of now.
modern Synplant? not bad 🤔
Reg key plz?!!!????
i wanna know where they find the fake german voice actors at
