At AGE zero it's clean, exact and musical, a serious synth you can build any patch on. Turn AGE up and it starts to drift, sag, jitter and wander, exactly as far as you push it and no further. Not a broken synth, but a solid one you can take apart on purpose. Right at home in washed-out, tape-worn textures in the vein of Boards of Canada or S U R V I V E, and just as capable of a straight, precise sound. Controllable instability, on one AGE dial.
What's inside:
- Instability on a dial: one AGE knob from clean to falling-apart.
- Two oscillators plus a sub, with sync, ring mod and cross-mod.
- Morphing filter, wavefolding shaper, two drifting LFOs, chaos generator.
- Generative arpeggiator with per-step control.
- 68 presets, clean through to fully aged.
- Built-in help mode: learn it while you play.
