Space is a spectrum-based wavetable synthesizer with two blendable slots (A/B), envelopes, LFO, tuning, stereo tools and performance modes. Perfect for evolving pads, textures, and animated leads.

Hint
What is a wavetable synthesizer?
A wavetable synthesizer generates sound by playing back digitally stored waveforms (“wavetables”). Each wavetable consists of multiple harmonics (called “partials”) that define the sound’s character. The Space Synth can load two wavetables simultaneously (Slot A and B) and blend between them to create rich and evolving sounds.
Tools
Tools
Control
Description
Reset
Resets the spectrum to a neutral state
Randomize
Generates a random spectrum, useful when you want a starting point
Copy to A/B
Copies the spectrum from one slot to the other
Swap
Swaps the contents of Slot A and B
These tools allow quick experimentation without losing your current setup.
Spectrum/Comb
Spectrum/Comb
Control
Description
Partials
Vertical lines that represent the amplitude of individual frequency components. More partials = a more complex sound
Bandwidth
Controls the width of the partials. Wider bandwidth results in a softer sound, narrower bandwidth produces sharper, more focused tones
Brightness
Controls the brightness quality of the sound (0 to 100%)
Dispersion
Affects the spectral dispersion of the sound (0 to 100%)
Metal
Controls the metallic quality of the sound (0 to 100%)
Separation
Affects the separation between partials (0 to 100%)
Vaporisation
Controls the "vaporization" quality of the sound (0 to 100%)
Harmonics Count
Number of harmonics in the spectrum (1 to 4)
Comb Filter Amount
Controls comb filtering on the sound's overtones (0 to 100%)
Comb Filter Rate
Rate of the comb filter modulation (0 to 100%)
Comb Filter Width
Width of the comb filter effect (0 to 100%)
You can click and drag within the spectrum window to emphasize or reduce specific frequencies.
Wavetable A/B & Mix
Wavetable A/B & Mix
Control
Description
Wavetable A and B
Two independent sound sources with separate spectrums
Mix (Mix A/B)
Adjusts the blend between wavetables A and B (-100 to 100%). -100% = only A, 0% = equal mix, 100% = only B
Envelopes
Envelopes
Control
Description
Amp Envelope
Controls the amplitude (volume) of the sound over time. Standard ADSR envelope
Mod Envelope
Can be assigned to modulate almost any parameter (e.g., LFO rate, mix, pitch, gain). Standard ADSR envelope
Mod Envelope Release
Enable/disable the release phase of the modulation envelope. When disabled, the envelope only uses Attack, Decay, and Sustain phases
ADSR Explained
ADSR Explained
Control
Description
Attack (A)
Time it takes for the sound to reach full volume after pressing a key
Decay (D)
Time it takes to fall from the peak to the sustain level
Sustain (S)
Volume level maintained while the key is held
Release (R)
Time for the sound to fade out after releasing the key
Short attack/release times are good for percussive sounds; longer settings suit pads and atmospheric textures.
LFO
An LFO is a slow waveform that can modulate parameters automatically, such as volume, pan, pitch, or mix.
LFO
Control
Description
Waveform Selection
LFO waveform types:
Sine: Smooth, rounded waveform
Triangle: Linear rise and fall
Sawtooth Up: Rising sawtooth waveform
Square: Square wave with 50% duty cycle
Random: Random waveform
Rate (Speed)
Modulation speed. When not synced: 0.01 to 500 Hz. When synced to tempo: quantized to note durations from 1/256 to 4/1 bars
Sync
Enable tempo synchronization. When enabled, rate is quantized to musical note values; when disabled, rate is in Hz
Retrigger
Whether the LFO retriggers on each new note
Phase Offset
Starting phase position of the LFO waveform (0 to 1). Useful for offsetting modulation timing
Destination
The target parameter to be modulated (e.g., WT Mix, Pitch, Pan, Gain, Stereo Detune)
Intensity
Controls how much the LFO affects the target parameter
Example: Assigning the LFO to WT Mix results in automatic morphing between A and B.
Tuning
Tuning
Control
Description
Tune A
Adjusts the pitch of wavetable A independently (-12 to +12 semitones). Small offsets create pleasing detuning effects
Tune B
Adjusts the pitch of wavetable B independently (-12 to +12 semitones)
Global Tune
Shifts the pitch of the entire synth (-12 to +12 semitones). ±12 semitones = ±1 octave
Micro Tuning
Optional reference to a micro-tuning resource for alternative tuning systems
Modulation
The modulation envelope and LFO can modulate various parameters. Each modulation destination has its own depth control:
Modulation
Control
Description
Mod Env → Pitch (Tune)
How strongly the Mod Envelope affects global pitch (-100 to 100%)
Mod Env → LFO Rate
How strongly the Mod Envelope affects LFO speed (-100 to 100%)
Mod Env → LFO Amount
How strongly the Mod Envelope affects LFO intensity (-100 to 100%)
Mod Env → Mix A/B
How strongly the Mod Envelope affects wavetable mix (-100 to 100%)
LFO → Pitch (Tune)
How strongly the LFO affects global pitch (-100 to 100%)
LFO → Gain
How strongly the LFO affects output volume (-100 to 100%)
LFO → Mix A/B
How strongly the LFO affects wavetable mix (-100 to 100%)
LFO → Panning
How strongly the LFO affects stereo panning (-100 to 100%)
LFO → Stereo Detune
How strongly the LFO affects stereo detune shift (-100 to 100%)
Velocity → Gain
How strongly note velocity affects output volume (0 to 100%)
Velocity → Mix A/B
How strongly note velocity affects wavetable mix (-100 to 100%)
Keyboard → Mix A/B
How strongly keyboard position (note pitch) affects wavetable mix (-100 to 100%)
Useful for effects like vibrato, pitch sweeps, subtle detuning, or velocity-sensitive timbre changes.
Glide, Stereo & Output
Glide, Stereo & Output
Control
Description
Glide Time
Smooth transitions between notes (0 to 5000 ms). Ideal for legato basses or leads. In Mono/Legato mode, notes glide if they overlap; in Poly mode, notes glide if they don't overlap
Stereo Detune Shift
Multi-purpose parameter to widen the stereo image (-100 to 100%). Negative range (-100% to 0%): phase-shifts channels for wider perceived stereo without pitch shift. Positive range (0% to 100%): detunes voices (right channel down, left channel up) up to 12 semitones. At -100%, both voices are equal (mono)
Output Gain
Controls the overall output level (0 to 1 linear, equivalent to -∞ to 0 dB or -3 dB)
Voice Modes (Note Play Mode)
Play mode:
Mono: At most one note plays at once with slight overlap during release. New notes cut already playing notes, starting from attack
Legato: At most one note plays at once. New notes cut already playing notes, skipping attack phase (acts like pitch change)
Polyphone: Multiple notes/chords can play simultaneously
Practical Tips
Practical Tips
Start with a preset and tweak small things (like the envelope).
Use “Randomize” to explore new sound directions.
Listen closely to how partial adjustments affect timbre.
Use LFOs to add motion to pads or basslines.
Monitor your levels. Too much output can cause distortion.
Slowly modulate the mix control for evolving and organic textures.
