SQ3 - Squid-3

Squid3 is a forward-thinking synthesizer born from Acustica's MAREA series, available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats. Built to respond better than a real instrument, Squid3 gives you the speed to create instantly, and the depth to design without limits. It's fluid, focused, and sonically honest.

This isn't a vintage emulation, or a collection of pretty presets under reverb. Squid3 fuses algorithmic modeling with advanced convolution, capturing the behavior of analog gear.

Squid3 is not another virtual synth, it's a new breed - designed to sound finished, even before the FX. Every stage of its engine, from oscillator to output, was built to make raw synthesis sound like a mastered record.

Squid3 is available in two separate editions:

• The Standard (3-D, multi-page) edition, hardware-inspired interface with depth, lighting, and tactile realism for an immersive studio feel.
• A Flat (2-D version, single-page) edition, A clean, flat design optimized for speed, built for maximum graphic efficiency, where all controls are summarized on a single page.

Key Features

• Superstereo: Analog drift so real, it creates stereo depth by itself.
• Berserkr: Continuously tilt from vintage roll-off to full modern clarity.
• Return: Pre-filter feedback adds thickness before the filter sculpts the tone.
• Drive: Post-filter drive - polyphonic, analog-like tone with no extra FX needed.
• Sub Osc: Selectable sub waveforms for deep, stable, hardware-beating lows.
• Precision: Sample-accurate event and modulation timing.
• Up-Rate Wave Morphing (UPRM): Delivers true audio-rate, oversampled waveform morphing with consistent detail and stability under fast, complex modulation.
• Full MPE: True per-note expression with pitch, pressure, and timbre control.
• Studio FX: Mastering-grade FX unit including shimmer, reverbs, chorus, delays, distortion, OTT, and EQ.
