Icelandic music tech company Genki Instruments, creators of the Wave Ring gestural controller, has introduced Cosmos, a new software synth that they say is designed to “let musicians let go of their normal assumptions of what a synth looks like and explore new musical territory”.

“We made Cosmos out of love for happy accidents. It is specifically designed to be an inspiration machine, not just for synth buffs, but any musician who wants to create interesting sounds and sonic textures. The Cosmos is your playground,” said Genki CEO Ólafur Bjarki Bogason.

Features:

• Oscillators – Eight-voice variable shape virtual analog oscillators with sync, FM, cross-fading velvet noise and sub.
• Filter – Virtual analog filter with independent damp, resonance and drive.
• Arpeggiator – Galaxy arpeggiator with rate, octaves and four unique modes.
• UFOs and Envelopes – Patch anything with two UFOs (frequency and shape) and envelopes.
• Effects – Lush reverb and echo with variable feedback, damp, time and mix.

Cosmos is available now, with an intro price of $69.99 USD (normally $139.99).
