In their own words
Abyss 2
ABYSS 2 is a synthesizer plugin for musicians and creative sound design. Its sound engine arranges tone colours on a gradient, allowing sounds to change as you move through it. Samples can be dropped onto the gradient to extract spectral tone-colours, while audio files or folders can supply custom palettes. The instrument includes more than 400 presets, including more than 200 new and more than 200 upgraded sounds. A modular effects engine provides four slots and 20 modules, and a poly-rhythmic sequencer shapes rhythmic material. ABYSS 2 supports MPE and comes in AU, VST3, and AAX formats for macOS and Windows. It is a plugin rather than a standalone application, with workflow focused on DAW parameter automation instead of MIDI Learn. A free trial needs no email or registration; after three days, trial mode adds occasional mild vinyl-like crackle. Activation uses a serial number inside the plugin.
