Wave Alchemy Mutate

Wave Alchemy Mutate [DVD / Kontakt]

Introducing Mutate, our next generation virtual hybrid synthesizer for Kontakt 5!

Twist, mangle and transform unique multi-sampled waveforms to create powerful abstract Dubstep bass, twisted Techno sequences, morphing growls, Mainroom EDM bass / leads, cone-melting subs, lush chords, warm analogue bass and everything in-between...

Combine complex evolving tones and ‘mutate’ them into oblivion with powerful parameter lock sequencers and extensive on-board processing / FX...

Mutate is powered by a 3.7 GB core library of unique raw waveforms and pre-designed preset multi-samples, synthesized from the ground up, and recorded directly from a huge hybrid analogue / digital Eurorack modular synth system. In essence this means that as a producer, sound designer or programmer you have access to a truly diverse tapestry of creative sounds and building blocks, before you have even touched Mutate’s creative on-board parameters!

Raw Waveforms Instrument

The 'Raw Waveforms' instrument is powered by 2730 multi-samples spread across 46 waveform patches. Up to four oscillators (plus noise oscillator) can be mixed, panned and tuned to create unique layered, synthesized sounds.

Designed Presets Instrument

The 'Designed Preset' Instrument is powered by 6305 perfectly looped multi-samples, spread across 142 expressive, evolving patches which are ready to use straight out of the box; with filter settings, modulation, and envelope settings recorded straight from the modular

Eurorack system

Both instruments feature Sequencer and FX edit pages;

Sequencer Page

At the heart of Mutate you will find a 32-step, 16 track, variable rate ‘parameter lock’ sequencer, allowing you to automate; note pitch, volume, note length, attack, filter cut-off, filter resonance, filter LFO depth, Filter LFO rate, stereo spread, distortion levels, reverb send and delay send individually, per step! When used with the instruments ‘shuffle’ function, anything from subtle sample and hold type effects to completely insane, morphing sequences can be created. This is where things get really interesting!

FX Page

The FX page has selectable modulation effects (switchable between Flanger, Phaser and Chorus) alongside a custom Reverb and Delay unit

• Sequence pitch, volume, note length, sample start point, filter cut-off, filter resonance, filter LFO depth, Filter LFO rate, stereo spread, distortion levels, reverb send and delay sends individually, PER STEP!
• Switchable mono, legato and polyphonic keyboard modes.
• Unison and stereo width effects.
• Saturation and bit-crusher effects

Mutate was driven by the desire to create a truly unique ‘Bass Machine’ synth capable of twisting waveforms 'inside-out' using extensive modulation and sequencer parameter lock techniques.

From the start it was our mission to push Kontakt’s scripting capabilities to the limit, to deliver a synth with an experimental edge, capable of devastating, evolving sounds for the bass heads.
