01Overview

Dawesome KULT is a software synthesizer developed by Tracktion and designed by Peter, known as Dawesome. Its sound engine is built on two oscillators that draw on the mathematical theory of chaos, which the developer calls Strange Attractors. The plugin is aimed at producers who want timbres that range from classic waveforms to chaotic, organic textures. Its feature set centers on sound shaping through FM and AM synthesis, a multi-stage filter section, a creative arpeggiator, full MPE support and a modulation system.

03In depth

Oscillators and Sound Character

KULT's two oscillators are the core of the instrument. Each offers more than 30 models, which the developer describes as ranging from classical waveforms to chaotic sculptures. Innovative sound-shaping parameters let you add organic overtones to the output.

The developer positions the synth as suited to West Coast, Buchla-style synthesis, and KULT also supports FM and AM synthesis to shape the oscillator output further. That makes it a fit for producers exploring complex timbres, from warm and soft to hard and alien tones.

Filters, Modulation and Playing Features

The filter section combines a formant filter, two comb filters and two analog filters. The comb filters are driven by a distortion stage, and the analog filter uses two coupled stages.

KULT includes a creative arpeggiator, full MPE support and a modulation system that the developer describes as powerful and intuitive. These tools suit expressive performance with MPE controllers as well as rhythmic sequencing and sound design work.
