Product Overview

Gradient captures the essence of analog sound through a modular approach, featuring a rich palette of deeply multi-sampled oscillators and noise sources. With over 190 production-ready presets, it offers a versatile range suitable for cinematic pads, deep basses, and punchy stabs, making it a strong choice for various musical styles.

Details

The instrument includes two oscillators with 83 different waveforms and a noise generator with 21 options, allowing for extensive sound design possibilities. The interface is designed for intuitive use, featuring a streamlined layout that promotes a fast workflow. Users can browse through oscillator waves using a single knob, enabling quick sound changes without loading delays.

Gradient's sound shaping capabilities include a lowpass filter with both 12 dB/oct and 24 dB/oct options, a highpass filter, and EQ, alongside four shapers for overdrive, grit, crush, and tape effects. Two envelopes and two syncable LFOs provide further modulation options, enhancing the instrument's flexibility. Each preset is equipped with dedicated controls, facilitating hands-on interaction, especially for users of NKS-compatible hardware.

The sampling process emphasizes capturing subtle variations and imperfections inherent in analog oscillators, ensuring a rich and organic sound. This attention to detail, combined with the instrument's production-ready presets, makes Gradient a compelling choice for composers and sound designers looking to create authentic and dynamic audio experiences.
