Dustwave · a synth by Hyss Audio
Sounds dragged through the dust.
Hazy pads, detuned keys and wobbly tape, in one warm, worn-in synth. Play it free in your browser now. The plugin is on its way to your DAW.
The Age knob
One knob, from fresh to forgotten.
Turn Age and Dustwave wears in its tape, crushes its bits and darkens its tone together. Any sound goes from clean to a cassette you found in a basement, in a single move.
Factory presets
24 sounds, ready to play.
Every preset is finished the moment you press a key, and every one is a sound we'd use in our own tracks. Save your own right next to them.
