The Tone page also features LoFi and Drive effects and an easy to use Smart EQ for basic tonal shaping. There’s every control you’d expect, including the option of host-synced envelopes that use note values, modulatable sample start points, various voice modes including an Analog dial to add some subtle pitch variation and a fairly flexible filter. Once you’ve picked your sounds, you can shape them further using the Engine, Tone and Mix sub-pages, with each of the four sound sources having its own colour-coded voice section.
If you’re interested, the full list of instruments and outboard equipment used is available on the Wave Alchemy website and it reads like a description of the best studio in heaven! It’s a dizzying list that includes saturated 808s, throbbing subs, tight plucks, effected analogue oscillators, live brass, bass guitars, acoustic instruments, percussive hits, foley sounds, a large number of organic noise layers and more. Here, you can take control of each oscillator, starting by selecting from over 800 sources, including over 200 scannable wavetables. Even if a patch isn’t quite to your liking, the flexibility is there to tweak and edit to make it your own by delving into the Design page. The sounds are consistently excellent with a broad range of familiar and exotic-sounding patches that cover most genres of modern and classic electronic music, also including cinematic sound design and processed live bass. There’s nothing to stop you simply flicking through the 290 presets using the well-tagged browser and interacting on a simple level with these controls to manipulate the timbre and character. When you load the instrument into Kontakt 6 or the free Kontakt Player, you’re presented with the minimalist Perform page, which lists the four oscillators in each corner and has a large X/Y pad and eight macros at the bottom.
