1. TAPE DRIVEN RHODES

Whether you’re crafting cinematic slow jams, dreamy synth-laden ballads, or cinematic lo-fi scores, this engine brings the perfect balance of retro imperfection and modern expressiveness.
Push the built-in tape drive simulation to infuse your sound with warm distortion, perfect for achieving everything from soft, glowy warmth to deep, overdriven grit. Just like an old cassette worn from years of rewinds.
2. TOCKY MECHANICAL KEYBOARD
Tap in a one-of-a-kind engine built from the ASMR tactile thud of a thocky mechanical keyboard. Transformed into a playable instrument that echoes uncomfortably though the corridors and cubicles of an abandoned office.
With its phase control, you can morph the tone in real time. Shifting between low thocks and bright percussive clicks. Subtly adjust for atmospheric, ASMR-inspired rhythm layers, or push it further into experimental territory.
3. ANALOG BRASS SYNTH
A polyphonic brass pad, straight from the golden age of analog synths. Filter your way to rich, swelling harmonies. Whether you’re channeling smoky R&B chords, Blade Runner-esque synthscapes, or slow-burning, atmospheric grooves. Dial in the warmth, fill in the gaps, and let your melodies tell a story.
Inspired by vintage synthesizers, the Analog Brass engine brings you warm, sweeping tones with organic detune and harmonic drift, evoking the golden era of synth-driven soundtracks.
Step into the retro-futuristic dream with Office Core.

Unravel the mystery of sound and space with Vocal Textures, an engine built from a tenor textured vocal recordings that morph into something otherworldly and cinematic. Whether you’re sculpting ethereal choirs, haunting whispers, or deep, distorted vocal drones, this engine thrives in the spaces between dream and nightmare, beauty and unease. Perfect for liminal soundscapes, retro-futuristic ballads, and cinematic R&B atmospheres.
Drop into the lower range, and the voice becomes something raw, rough, and unsettling, evoking distorted choirs, ancient chants, and eerie transmissions from another dimension.
