Envosound Synth

Inspired by digitally controlled analog synthesis from 80’s era gaming hardware, it evokes the nostalgia of classic gaming hardware while sounding completely fresh and modern. You can create sounds reminiscent of classic video game soundtracks while incorporating cutting-edge production techniques and effects.

Envosound is a fusion of synthesis, sequencing, and arpeggiation. Morph notes into complex harmonic patterns and never heard before sounds.

Envosound is a versatile tool for producers and composers across genres, from ambient and experimental music to electronic dance music and beyond.

Relativistic arpeggiator

Originating from early game technology where it created complex sounds from simple hardware, the relativistic arp lets you create anything from crazy bleeps to arpeggiations and glissandos while staying in the key and scale you choose.

The relativistic arp is unique in that it operates with intervals rather than absolute notes. This means it can create sequences utterly different from what you might expect from traditional arpeggiators. By manipulating intervals and scales, you can create progressions that evolve in unexpected ways, taking your music in exciting new directions.

Beat-locked gliding clock

Glaid/Envosound boasts a unique beat-locked clock feature that remains perfectly synced to the beat, even when modulated at different speeds. This clock smoothly glides to the desired rate, effortlessly transitioning from slower to faster tempos over multiple bars. For example, you could slow the clock from 1/128 to 1/4 over two bars, with the clock transitioning to the new tempo perfectly in time with each 4/4 beat. This allows you to experiment with tempo changes and other rhythmic effects while keeping your music flawlessly in sync and on the beat.

Retro oscillators

Envosound goes beyond the classic square wave, offering sine, triangle, and saw oscillators for a wide range of tones. It also features two distinctive noise sources: Simplex, which generates smooth, pitch-tracked noise, and Retro, a square-based LFSR noise inspired by early game consoles. A unique fractal waveform turns complex mathematical shapes into sound, with shape controls on every waveform for deep customization.

The oscillator feeds into an envelope-driven multi-mode filter, followed by tempo-synced delay and reverb to add space and depth. Together, these tools make Envosound powerful yet intuitive—perfect for creating sounds that are both expressive and accessible.

Flow visualizer

This real-time OpenGL waterfall visualization offers a mesmerizing and dynamic representation of the outputted frequencies over time. This means that you can actually see your sound take shape and evolve as you create it.

The flow visualizer is especially powerful when combined with Envosound’s step display, which visually represents the pattern of notes over time. Combining these two visual elements lets you get a complete and real-time picture of your sound, allowing you to make informed decisions and adjust your settings with greater precision.

Supports Windows 7 and up and MacOS including Apple silicon. Available in VST3 and AU formats.
