Abakos PRO – Synthesize Analog Dreams
Introducing Abakos PRO from HERCs Music Systems – a powerful software synthesizer in VST format for Windows, embodying classic analog sound with expanded modern capabilities. If you’re looking for a tool capable of reproducing the warm, fat timbres of vintage synthesizers, but with the flexibility of the digital world, Abakos PRO will be your trusted companion in the studio.
The Heart of Sound: Oscillators and Modulation
At the core of Abakos PRO are two analog oscillators (VCOs), each offering a choice of three classic waveforms. This allows you to create rich and complex sound textures by mixing sawtooth, pulse, and other waves to achieve unique timbres. Sound shaping capabilities go beyond basic synthesis:
Wide Sound Design Capabilities
- Two independent oscillators with a choice of 3 waveforms for each.
- A powerful low-frequency generator (LFO) with numerous waveforms to add movement and dynamics to your sounds.
- Two ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators, providing full control over the dynamics and articulation of each sound.
- Envelope Follower function, which allows you to use the dynamics of the input signal to modulate synthesizer parameters, opening the door for experimental sound design.
Filtering and Processing
Abakos PRO is equipped with a filter section that offers digital and analog filtering modes. This allows you to achieve both clean and precise frequency shaping, and add the warm, rich character inherent in vintage analog equipment. Additional processing tools include:
- Noise generator to create percussive sounds, atmospheric effects, or add “grit” to synthesized timbres.
- Ring Modulator for generating metallic, bell-like, or other non-harmonic sounds.
Built-in Effects
For further polishing and spatial processing of sound, Abakos PRO has a set of high-quality effects on board:
- Delay: Adds depth and repeats.
- Tremolo: Creates an amplitude modulation effect for a “pulsating” sound.
- Vibrato: Adds pitch modulation for expressiveness.
- Wah Wah: Imitates the classic “wah-wah” pedal effect, changing the frequency response.
Rhythmic Patterns and Preset Management
One of the key features of Abakos PRO is its multi-functional arpeggiator. It allows you to easily create complex rhythmic and melodic patterns based on held notes. With full control over tempo and division, you can precisely synchronize the arpeggio with your project.
Ease of Use
- Powerful arpeggiator with full tempo and division control.
- Built-in preset management system with 4 banks, providing a total of 512 slots to save your unique sounds. This provides easy access to your sound library and experiments.
- Support for TUN (Tuning files), allowing you to use alternative tuning systems and microtonality in your music.
Abakos PRO from HERCs Music Systems is more than just a synthesizer. It is a tool for creativity, combining the warmth of analog synthesis with the flexibility of a digital environment. Perfect for creating basses, leads, pads, effects, and arpeggios. Download Abakos PRO today and discover new horizons in your sound design.
