Aether Evolver
Generative drone synthesizer
Available in two panel colours: blue and black — both versions are shown in the photos.
Three oscillators — ROOT, HARM and FM — melt into one living voice that keeps changing on its own. A wavefolder, an evolving resonant filter, an LFO, a CHAOS mode and a slow EVOLVE engine make sure the drone never plays the same way twice.
Features
- 3 oscillators: ROOT, HARM and FM, each tunable from 20 Hz to 3 kHz
- ROOT is frequency-modulated by a triangle FM oscillator and pushed through a soft-knee wavefolder
- HARM joins in an evolving resonant state-variable filter, followed by a notch and a low-pass filter
- LFO with 4 shapes — sine, triangle, square, sample & hold
- CHAOS mode — every oscillator drifts to new random targets and glides between them
- EVOLVE engine — slowly walks through 8 harmonic ratios and wavefolding depth
- CV IN — external modulation detected automatically, falls back to the internal LFO when unplugged
- Settings menu: LFO range, CHAOS interval, EVOLVE speed, CV sensitivity — all saved to memory
- Available in blue and black panel versions
