Synthetic Epiphany's top 10 Airwave sounds
Unlock new sonic textures with Airwave Player
Watch ROLI sound designer Marcus Levy-Chance (also known as Synthetic Epiphany) share his favorite Airwave presets.
In a detailed walkthrough, Marcus shows us how each sound is crafted, and gives us a glimpse into the expressive potential behind these multidimensional sounds when played with Airwave.
Marcus reveals just how much potential lies within Airwave’s presets, from organic textures to futuristic synth sounds, all controlled effortlessly with natural hand gestures. Airwave invites musicians and producers to explore a world of sonic possibilities.
Featured presets include:
Choral Morph: Transform vocal textures with each gesture.
Analog Ghosts: Acoustic plucks merge with synth leads and ghostly layers.
Lonely Rhodes: Enhance the classic Rhodes sound with a blend of synth and choral tones.
Brass Section: Conduct an ensemble of brass instruments with realistic expression.
Airnettum Reed: Create reed-like textures that adapt with every movement.
Pots and Pans: Experiment with percussive elements.
Catch Your Breath: Pulsating, sequenced synthesized sound with a strong rhythmic presence.
Quirky Techno Box: Turn Airwave and Equator2 into a techno groovebox, ideal for hands-on sound exploration.
Piano-onaiP: Introduce reverse layers with raised hands for dynamic shifts.
Dimensional Orchestra: Layer sounds that expand with each gesture for a full orchestral feel.
The power of Spatial Expression is not just limited to ROLI hardware either (although, you do get the most expressive potential with it!). Airwave is compatible with third-party MIDI keyboards and can turn your existing studio setup into an immersive sonic experience.
Whether you’re a musician seeking more orchestral depth or an electronic producer looking to add more flair with hands-on control, Airwave can open new avenues of creativity through intuitive gestures.
