001 / THE INSTRUMENTA DIFFERENT KIND OF SYNTHESIZER

YOUR WORLD.
REWIRED.

A voice. A passing train. Something you recorded at 3 a.m.

Apophene turns audio and video into playable sounds, then gives them rhythm, character and a world of their own.

LESS MYSTERY.
MORE MACHINE.

Part sampler. Part synthesizer. Part composition engine.
Here’s what you actually get your hands on.

FIG. 01 / SOURCE / SLICE / PLAY
01

YOUR RECORDING.
YOUR INSTRUMENT.

Drop in a recording or a video. Apophene identifies percussive hits, tonal material and textures, then maps the results to 48 playable source pads. Another 16 slots turn that material into transitions and effects.

PLAY IT
Trigger pads from MIDI. Audition a hit, change its character or drag the sound into your session.
BUILD FROM IT
Choose a genre, key and mode. Generate an arrangement, then regenerate the whole piece or work on individual lanes.
FIG. 02 / SPACE / PAN / DEPTH
02

PUT EVERY SOUND
IN ITS PLACE.

The Space page gives every lane its own place in the mix. Place a sound left or right, spread it wider, push it into the reverb, or send it moving across the stereo field.

MOVE IT
Center, left, right, wide, ping-pong and LFO placement. Separate controls for pan, width, depth and echo.
SHAPE IT
Dial in filtering and sends per lane. Keep the kick focused while the atmosphere travels around it.
FIG. 03 / TRIP / PITCH / TRANSFORM
03

THE GOOD KIND
OF WRONG.

Trip is the mutation desk. Push pitch through an XY pad with a range up to ±48 semitones. Sweep freely, or snap the movement to the scale or the current chord.

PITCH MOVES
Dive, Rise, Octave drop, Demon, Chipmunk and Wobble. Keep the formants, or let the sound stretch like tape.
EIGHT EFFECTS
Formant shift, Shimmer, Phaser, Acid filter, Tape stop, Grain freeze, Ring mod and Stutter. Choose which lanes take the trip.
SAMPLES MEET SYNTHESIS

THE MACHINE
INSIDE THE MACHINE.

Your source is only the beginning. Layer it with synthesized drums, basses, leads, arpeggios and atmospheres.

LOW END

Resonant acid bass, detuned Reese, long 808 pitch drops, sine sub and tuned log drum.

OSCILLATORS & CHARACTER

Saw, pulse and sub voices; driven ladder filters; four-operator FM; Hoover, seven-voice supersaw and short pluck models.

OUT OF THE BOX

In standalone mode: 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV, MP3, AAC or separate WAV stems. Export a whole song or just a selected range.

003 / 25 BUILT-IN VISUALIZERS

IT HAS
A FACE.

And twenty-four other ways to look at your track.

NOT JUST A WAVEFORM.

Living face is a real-time 3D head driven by the musical parts. It reacts through individual facial movements, with animated patterns projected onto the skin and a fractal world behind it.

Choose a built-in head or load your own compatible model. Change the skin pattern, projection and camera movement. Hide the interface and let the visuals fill the screen.

WAYS TO SEE THE SOUND.

The face is the loud one. Behind it sit twenty-four more: fractal dives, kaleidoscopes, tunnels, reaction-diffusion skins, oscilloscopes and stranger things. Every one of them is driven by the same parts that drive the track.

NORMAL IS
A SETTING.
SKIP IT.

DeepTrip makes music-making instruments for Mac and Windows. Less staring at an empty session. More stumbling into something worth keeping. Apophene is the first one; Bardo and Visuals follow.

Apophene is the first trip.
See where it takes you.

APOPHENE / əˈpɒfɪn /

From apophenia: the tendency to perceive meaningful connections in seemingly unrelated things.
