Soundscape Synthesizer

Ambient Ø (zero) is an immersive ambient music generator that uses Sonicware’s newly developed Blendwave Modulation Synthesis to immerse you in completely new musical dimensions.

Despite the complex sound generation, Ambient Ø is incredibly easy to use. Start by playing a tone on one of the four layers and hold it, e.g. with the note hold function, while you can change the tone with the controls and add further layers until you have found the sound you want.

Blendwave modulation synthesis

Sonicware has done extensive research to create wavy and fluctuating tones for Ambient Ø. The result was the development of this new wavetable-based synthesis engine.  Blendwave Modulation Synthesis combines 6 unique structures with 32 WAVEs and complex harmonic transitions to create powerful, deep drones, lush pads and transparent pizzicatos – perfect for ambient music!

Intuitive and effective operation

4 knobs / 8 parameters provide a broad basis for creating sounds. WAVE has 127 harmonic wavetables that enable a wide range of sound creations, from simple waveforms to complex harmonic progressions. The WAVE symbol stands for Yin-Yang, whereby the Yin oscillator moves in the opposite direction through the wavetables during modulation.

6 Structures

Each of the 6 structures has a different number of oscillators and modulation circuits. ATMOS 1, for example, uses ring modulation, while ATMOS 2 uses FM modulation.

Noise layer for noise & space

The noise layer contains 8 specially selected natural sounds to create unique spatial effects through noise blending, pitch control and modulation. In addition, up to 8 (!) seconds of stereo sampling (16bit – 32kHz) are possible via the line input, so that you can also create individual textures.

Extensive effects section

Ambient Ø is equipped with 9 reverb algorithms, each offering unique spatial resolutions and dimensions. Reverb send and shimmer send (for layering at octaves) are individually adjustable for each layer.

In addition to reverb, the Ambient Ø has an effects unit with tape delay, reverse delay and 4 master effects, overdrive, bit/rate crush, tilt EQ and stereo chorus.

Sequencer included on each layer

Each layer also includes a sequencer that allows you to record keyboard performances and changes to numerous parameters such as level, pan and filter movements.

Portable & flexible

Thanks to its portability, integrated speaker and battery operation, you can use Ambient Ø almost anywhere. Leave your usual workspace and use Ambient Ø in the living room, in nature or in other unique places whose tonal structures you want to incorporate musically.  As the evolving sounds blend with the ambient sounds, you are likely to experience “real” ambient music.
