MUSICAL FEATURES

Surface is a multitimbral physical modeling voice module capable of morphing into the acoustic quality of acoustic instruments and synthetic textures of different dimensions. There are various physical models installed, including stringed instruments, prepared pianos, tuned percussion such as timpani and steel drums, and up to 8 voices can be pronounced at the same time. A stereo output with configurable operation makes it easy to create sounds reminiscent of the universe. Surface provides a unique interpretation of physical modeling that obscures the line between emulation and synthesis, enabling new world sound design.

  • Multitimbral physical modeling voice
  • Various sound models for stringed instruments, prepared pianos, tuned percussion, etc.
  • 8 voice polyphony
  • Unique stereo output with configurable output processing mode
