Discover Whooo: A Synthesizer for Bold Experiments
Dive into a world of unexplored sounds and experimental electronics with Whooo – a unique virtual instrument from Krakli, reviving the spirit of the classic “theremin-like” Hooo plugin. This instrument isn’t your typical synthesizer with a standard set of functions and ready-made presets. Whooo is a canvas for your sound palette, created specifically for deep immersion in the sound creation process and experimentation.
Forget about template solutions. The philosophy of Whooo is based on the idea of spontaneity and openness to the new. That’s why it lacks built-in presets, encouraging the user to explore all corners of its sonic capabilities on their own. It’s the perfect instrument for sound designers, experimental musicians, and anyone who wants to go beyond the usual.
Features and Unique Characteristics
Despite its experimental orientation, Whooo offers intuitive control of the main parameters, making the sound creation process exciting and productive:
Pitch and Modulation Control
- Pitch Control: The main tone of the oscillator can be controlled in several ways simultaneously, giving you maximum flexibility. Use a standard MIDI keyboard for a classic studio approach, the modulation wheel for smooth transitions and vibrato, or the X-axis of the built-in XY-panel for a more unusual, “theremin-like” playing style. This combination of control methods opens up wide possibilities for expressive and unique playing.
- XY-panel Y-axis: This axis is a real modulation laboratory. It can be assigned to control various internal parameters of the plugin, allowing you to affect the timbre, dynamics, or other sound characteristics in real-time. Experiment with assignments to discover unexpected sound textures and effects.
Saving Your Own Ideas
Although Whooo does not come with a library of ready-made sounds, it offers 16 slots for saving your own, unique presets. This allows you to capture the most successful experiments and quickly return to your favorite settings in the future. Create your own library of experimental sounds that will reflect your individual style.
More Than Meets the Eye
As the developer himself notes, “this plugin is bigger on the inside than on the outside.” Behind its visually simple interface hides a deep and multifaceted sound architecture, ready to unfold under your creative guidance. Whooo is capable of generating both subtle, atmospheric textures and rich, strange leads and effects, which are ideal for creating music in genres such as ambient, industrial, noise, electronic music, or as an element of sound design for video games and film.
Perfect Choice for Windows
The Whooo plugin is available in VST format for the Windows operating system (32-bit), making it easy to integrate into most modern DAWs on this platform. Simple installation and stable operation will allow you to quickly start creating.
Whooo by Krakli is not just a virtual instrument, it is an invitation to a sound adventure. It’s a tool for those who are not afraid to experiment, seek new sounds, and form their own musical language. If you are tired of standard synthesizers and crave something truly unique, Whooo will be your faithful companion in the world of unpredictable soundscapes.
