Textures and Pads With Layering Control

The 216 presets are organized around textures and pads, making the library a fit for building ambient beds, evolving backgrounds and sustained harmonic layers.

The layering engine lets you combine sounds within a single patch, and the sound browser helps you audition material quickly. Each preset can be reshaped with the instrument's effects section, which covers compression, delays, reverb, EQ, chorus, phaser and flanger, among others.

Effects and Customization

Quasar includes 14 built-in effects, from compressor, limiter and reverb to cabinet, rotator, stereo panner and multiband EQ. The full set of effects is available in the settings, so you can adjust processing for each patch.

The interface is customizable, with a large number of settings for users who want to tailor the instrument to their own workflow.
