Description :
Dreamlike processor
Efx AMBIENT combines spectral processing, Feedback Delay Networks, and complex effect pathways to create novel, endlessly evolving sonic spaces. With six distinct modes, gestural parameter control and an Advanced panel for in-depth modulation and motion shaping - diffuse the unheard.
Diffuse the unheard: Efx AMBIENT merges state-of-the-art spectral processing with an immediate and inspiring graphical workflow. From time-reversed textures to granular bending expanses and pitch-stepped after-effects - choose a mode, shape motion and push the boundaries of atmospheric sound design.
Craft evolving soundscapes: Six distinctive modes turn a simple input into an evolving sonic space - each with its own signal architecture, Feedback Delay Networks, and dedicated character FX.
Multidimensional control: Go from subtle enhancement to dramatic transformation with a two-axis X/Y control surface that maps Tone and Space in one continuous gesture.
In-depth motion shaping: When you’re ready to go deeper, four modulators - Sequencer, Function, Random, and Envelope Follower - add rhythmic structure, dynamic response, and continuous variation.
From input to infinity: Discover six distinct sonic spaces with custom signal mapping - from reverse cascades to overtone haze and degraded tape motion. Each mode pairs a distinctive character with dedicated secondary controls that let you explore unique effects, edges and perturbations - at your command.
The advanced panel: Take your experimentation to another level with extended per-mode controls, precision Macros and a drag-and-drop modulation system that turns static air into malleable space.
Four modulators: Sequencer, Function, Random, and Envelope Follower add rhythmic structure, evolving curves, organic variation, or input-reactive motion - from subtle animation to complex, continuously shifting parameter motion.
Macro programming: View extended Macros and per-mode FX, assign multiple destinations per Macro, and shape how they respond with amount and range for controlled, performance-ready gestures.
Mix utilities: Filter what hits the engine with the Input Filter, set Pre-Delay to create separation and perceived distance, and apply Ducking so transients stay clear and defined.
Instant results: A curated set of presets that showcases Efx AMBIENT’s range — from gentle diffusion to vast, evolving textures.
Any source transformed: Designed for innovative, experimental sound design, Efx AMBIENT takes you from subtle effect layering to textural world-building - turning simple sounds into living environments.
Transitions & tension beds: Turn any sonic material into builds, swells, and motion-heavy underscores. Use Reflect for backward cascades and pitched-down weight, or Siren for resonant vistas.
Instant pad creation: Make chords, guitars, vocals, or synth lines bloom into sustained, emotive layers. Organist adds overtone richness and body, while Woven brings tape-stutter shimmer.
Distorted and degraded FX: Push atmosphere into instability: codec grit, spectral holds and ominous undertones. Codec delivers glitch-type dropouts while Sunken adds weight, filtered depth, and irregular artefacts.
Features:
- Creative ambient processor with advanced modulation
- Multi-Mode architecture: Six distinctive Modes, each with a dedicated Tone + Space signal path and character FX
- Spectral processing engine: Frequency-based processing that reshapes harmonics, timing, and pitch
- Feedback Delay Networks: FDN-based Space processing adds depth and diffusion
- Tone + Space control: Tone shapes the character: Space adds depth and diffusion - with shared Dry/Wet, Pitch, Size, Decay, Width, and Modulation controls across each mode.
- Dual-axis Macro control: A central 2D X/Y Macro lets you explore multiple parameter changes at once for fast, expressive sound shaping.
- Advanced modulation system: Four modulators (Sequencer, Function, Random, Envelope Follower) add movement and dynamics
- Drag-and-drop programming: Drag-and-drop Macro routing with amount, curve, and range controls for easy sound design and complex multi-parameter transitions.
- Utilities & mix control: Input EQ, Pre-Delay, Ducking, and latency compensation keep dense textures musical, clear, and time-aligned.
- Presets & browsing: 91 expertly-designed presets for inspiring results across a range of effect types.
