How It Sounds
Organic Textures
Made with granular and spectral sampling, frequency modulation synthesis and more. An acoustic sound is recorded and manipulated into a playable tone while maintaining the character of the original sound source.
Analog Synths
Sampled from a vintage Mini Moog, presets are raw and foundational with an analog flare. These sounds push the boundaries of what is possible with the Mini Moog incorporating pedal effects, complex filter modulations and LFOs
The Interface
The UI is straightforward, with only five controls, it is great for both beginners and pros. The limited knobs promote a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of tweaking a plugin and yield more tasteful results. These Bauhaus style sliders are layered over a rock-like texture background.

Sardonyx has been used in the past by the Romans during battle and to seal wax stamp letters.
