Slice Through the Darkness
Born from a collaborative venture between Tracktion and the MOK sound-design team of Rob Rampley, Taiho Yamada, and Chris Compton, Waverazor is a no-holds-barred suite of dark-side synthesis engineered to unnerve and challenge your conventions. Using an innovative multi-waveform model and patented oscillator technology, Waverzor radically recombines familiar waveforms to be further sculpted, shaped, and distorted through a bevy of tweaking options. A streamlined interface includes a real-time oscilloscope and easily identifiable parameters to actively modulate and toggle values for maximum sonic interfacing. Each of the 50 onboard presets have been developed by acclaimed sound designer Richard Devine, known for his work with Google’s DayDream VR, Jaguar, and more. Waverazor’s contextual editor masterfully blends depth with need, guiding you through active values to avoid dead-end or creativity-stifling menu diving, with Multi-Sync, ring modulation, X/Y performance controllers scratching the surface of the synth’s extensive and versatile audio possibilities. The uncompromising sonic shaping of Waverazor has Sweetwater’s synthesists in agreement: this is one you’ve got to take on for yourself!

Resynthesized sonics
Waverazor’s core is comprised of oscillator technology that slices and recombines waveforms into a multitude of fractions. From here, unique modulation controls can be uniquely applied to individual fractions, leading to complex aural profiles that undulate through the sonic depths. Take the Mutant AM feature: a ring mod that uses amplitude modulation to differentially affect that harmonic content of each fraction, rather than the entire waveform, modulating harmonics in a sequenced pattern that give every note distinctive life. Multi-Sync allows for deep, precise control of modulation over multiple fractions at once, evoking rich, unruly sounds over user-defined phase lengths with multiple hard-sync points. With the X/Y controller pads, precise waveforms can be dialed in with assignable supplementary modulation, allowing for dynamic design with a painless interface. Plus, for those looking to go deeper, a robust contextual editor allows you fine-tune the entire signal map with a user-friendly design that highlights active components to easily distinguish what’s happening inside a given sound.
