Vespera

Transformed Tube Driven Modular Synth

The first installment of our Acoustic Synthesis line, Vespera is a hybrid electro-acoustic synthesizer crafted to explore physical re-synthesis. This instrument utilizes heavily driven tube modular synth oscillations meticulously re-amped and resonated through various physical objects. Vespera transmutes both these sources into a deeply expressive polyphonic instrument that responds intuitively to your slightest touch with SSM™ powered 128+ velocity capability, offering deep reactive sonic variation that surpasses the capabilities of traditional hardware or virtual synths.

Standard. Delivers the same exceptional sound sources and presets as the Pro edition but memory-optimized to 1 round-robin per note and a 4-octave keyboard range.

The Story of Vespera

The result of extensive sonic experimentation focused on acoustic synthesis, Vespera is a hybrid electro-acoustic synthesizer that seamlessly merges the raw distortion of tube-driven circuits with the innate resonance of physical objects. Each oscillation undergoes a complete transformation by painstaking re-amping through a vibrational speaker transducer -resonating through diverse mediums, including drums with various skins, metal springs, and the sympathetic vibrations of resonant instruments such as a rare giant Indian Ezraj and a Swedish Nyckelharpa. Captured using a pair of custom Oaka Instruments Tellus pickups with extended range signal path, using custom preamps and best-in-class mastering grade AD conversion. The outcome is a diverse array of organic textures and tones that transforms the grit of the original distorted modular synth signals into completely new sounds, unlocking inspiring possibilities for sound exploration.

Vespera — Vespera_2-e1715345541311

Powered by MNDALA 2's Animistic Synthesis capabilities, Vespera becomes an extension of your musical expression. Its nonlinear features allow each multi-dimensional patch to resonate spontaneously, intuitively responding to the subtlest nuances of your touch. With over 128+ SSM™ powered polyphonic velocity possibilities at your disposal (powered by Sample Start Modulation), with each note, Vespera offers unprecedented subtle articulation and responsiveness to your touch, surpassing the capabilities of current traditional physical and virtual synths alike.

Vespera — Vespera_1

Vespera is not just an instrument; it's a portal to a vast, unexplored sound-texture universe. Its deeply designed patches beckon you to venture into a realm of dark, gritty, and hauntingly beautiful sounds. Vespera 's expansive sonic palette offers a multitude of unusual reactive variations, pushing the boundaries of traditional modular synthesis. From pulsating rhythms to ethereal atmospheres and gritty textures to haunting drones, Vespera is a limitless playground for your sonic exploration.
