Tracktion Dawesome Abyss II

Synthesizer Virtual Instrument

NEW
Tracktion Abyss II Gui1.webp

Made for Creatives

If sound is color - why are most synths complex, techy, full of numbers, algorithms, and operators?

Abyss II is built on a simple yet radical premise: a synth designed around how we actually experience sound.

It keeps you in the flow rather than forcing you into abstract formulas.

Just play with colors, as you would mess with paint.

Your Secret Superpower

Your taste is your secret superpower! Stop asking: "Is this correct? Am I doing this right?"

Instead, simply pick and combine sound-colours, place them on the "gradient" and ask yourself: "Does it sound interesting to me?".

This naturally leads you to your own, unique signature sound, and you can feed it anything: the noisy call of a distant crane recorded with your phone, a vocal snippet or the sound of plugging in your guitar.

As one musician said: "I am still trying to find a sample that does not end up as an interesting sound."

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.

iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration

iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home

iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.

iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.

iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
