They just make some of the coolest stuff. This has me excited.

 

Reminds me of DocB's GeneticTerrain module in VCV Rack: https://library.vcvrack.com/dbRackModules/GeneticTerrain. (The thumbnail doesn't show what it looks like when the t1-t4 knobs have been adjusted to generate the terrain.) It definitely comes up with some nice tones and I'm sure Dawesome takes the concept to the next level!

 

Interesting, looks like they're scanning the wavetable not just along the normal X-Y but create a path also through the Z-plane (usually the "pos" parameter in WT synths). This should create some interesting waveshape movements, but I think it'll require a quite spesifically tuned wavetable library to work. Otherwise it'll probably sound very digitally squeaky and buzzy.

For these kinds of sounds I recommend trying out the "Jitter" wavetable scan mode in Massive X which does quite unusual sounds, going from weird ensemble like sounds to totally apeshit at extremes.

But yeah, I'll be on the lookout for this for sure, looks good!

 

There are probably a good number of effects on the sounds in the trailer. I do not expect it to sound this nice when it is just dry output from the synth. It's nice and clean, very modern; otherwise it does have some filtering that sounds reminiscent of an e-mu peak/shelf filter. Different, more clarity; but I do hear why you mention it. No matter what anyone might say, I will always take a trailer's sound with a grain of salt. My favorite from dawesome has been Hate, otherwise somewhat hit-or-miss for me. This one sounds good enough to demo it, definitely.

 

Do you mean e-mu Z-Plane filters (Morpheus / Ultra Proteus / X3)?

 

Oh great, here we go again with another absolute monster waiting to get here! Looks like image to “wavetable” is the new trend this year, it’ll play very nicely with Exp Filtertable but GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta wait till October!

 

Doesn't bother me that there are effects on the trailer, as most synths needs some sort of treatment/mixing to fit in a production.

Also, Dawesome synths have very good built in effects (even free ones like Zyklop), so I'm guessing a large part of the sound design functionality and versatility will be in part due to the great fx modules built into the new synth.

If you like Hate you should definitely try out Love. It has a great workflow and phenomenal effects compared to other granular effects processors I've tried.

 

Hey, here is Peter - aka Dawesome. I made the trailer with KONTRAST only, no other plugins. What you hear is the pure dry output of the synth, and I used only factory presets

 

The image you see is a wavetable, each column represents a normal slice in a traditional wavetable synth.
But who says a slice needs to be a straight line? There is only one straight line, but there are millions of other shapes.
So in KONTRAST you can modify the shape of the slice with a couple of sliders.
So instead of changing the wavetable (traditional method) you simply change the scanline.
And this works with any kind of wavetable - just that you will get much more sounds of your same old wavetables!

 

Damn

 

Actually ... to be honest ... if you watch the video carefully you will notice that most of the sound is from one preset called VOLTA DRIVE and me pressing one note down. That preset was done by Spektralisk and uses the build-in sequencer.
