DAR

Abandoned Electric Guitar

The timeless clean tone of a vintage electric guitar is fused with soundscapes inspired by the subtle harmony and unpredictable beauty of nature, capturing both the calm and chaos found in the world around us.

DAR was free for a limited time only.

It will eventually be available in an extended version.



THE MAKING

OF TONE

This instrument offers two core tonal variations. Type I features the pure, unaltered guitar signal, captured through multiple microphones and blended into a single slider. Type II takes the same signal and records it to tape, enriching it with natural tape saturation, adding the warmth of wow and flutter.

With the X-slider, smooth sustain notes gradually morph into gently played tremolo, unveiling the full potential of the instrument's finely crafted sound layers. Additional layers like Skala+ bring in bursts of sound that spread across the stereo field, while Okean reflects nature's calm vastness and its unpredictable energy.

DAR: Abandoned ELECTRIC GUITAR

The FX section complements the vintage character of DAR with a suite of classic effects. Vibrato introduces subtle pitch variations, while the Warm effect adds rich, nonlinear distortion for a raw, edgy sound. The Shimmer effect merges the lush depth of plate reverb with pitch shifting and chorus for an otherworldly atmosphere. Echo and Reverb create expansive, immersive soundscapes.

The Movement panel features a 12-step sequencer and two LFO modules, designed to bring life and rhythm to your sound. These elements can be connected to all key sound layers, making them the heart of the instrument's dynamic capabilities.

The Master panel is equipped with two vintage octave filters that split the signal into 10 and 16 bands. Additionally, a three-band shelving EQ with adjustable crossover frequencies is included, along with controls for pitch, noise level, and output signal, providing ultimate flexibility in shaping the final tone.
