Teave:

Immersive Ambient Generator
4 layers of tone and texture—Drone, Pad, Atmos, and Noise—merge to generate resonance and transformation.

Blendwave Modulation Synthesis
Newly developed synth-engine with 6 structures, designed to create undulating and fluctuating tones.

Noise and Space
The Noise layer processes 8-second stereo sampling loops with noise blending and pitch modulation.

Extensive Effects Section
9 types of lush Reverb with shimmer, plus 6 types of effects including Tape Delay and Stereo Chorus.

Sequencer on Each Layer
Records performances and evolving tonal changes.

Immersive Ambient Generator
4 layers of tone and texture—Drone, Pad, Atmos, and Noise—merge to generate deep resonance and continuous transformation.

Ambient Ø (zero) is incredibly easy to use. Start by playing a tone from one layer using the note hold function. While listening closely, simply tweak the knobs to modify the tone and add other layers to shape a pleasing sound.

Blendwave Modulation Synthesis
We conducted extensive research into creating undulating and fluctuating tones for Ambient Ø, resulting in the development of a new wavetable-based synthesis.

Blendwave Modulation Synthesis combines 6 unique structures with 32 WAVEs featuring complex harmonic transitions, making it easy to create powerful low drones, lush pads, and transparent pizzicatos, perfect for Ambient Music.

Noise and Space
The Noise layer includes 8 specially selected nature sounds, offering noise blending, pitch adjustment and modulation to infuse unique spatial characteristics.

Additionally, it allows for up to 8 seconds of stereo sampling from the line input, letting you create personalized textures.

Extensive Effects Section
Ambient Ø is equipped with 9 types of lush reverb, each offering unique spatial dimensions and brightness settings. You can individually adjust the reverb send and shimmer send (for layering octaves) for each layer.

In addition to the reverb, the Ambient Ø offers an master effect unit with Tape Delay, Reverse Delay, Overdrive, Bit/Rate Crush, Tilt EQ, and Stereo Chorus.

Sequencer on Each Layer
You can not only layer the four tones, but each layer also includes a sequencer that allows you to record keyboard performances.

Furthermore, you can record changes in numerous parameters, including level, pan, and filter movement over time.
