Hands On The Table
Wavetable-based synths are famous for their distinctive sound, but many can be difficult to program. FANTOM’s hi-res touchscreen and physical controls change all that, making n/zyme a fun, tactile instrument that inspires you to take your music into uncharted sonic territory.
Oscillate Wildly
Wavetable oscillators form the core of n/zyme’s unique sound. Rather than the classic shapes we all know and love, wavetable oscillators employ multiple waveforms, and you can jump or morph between them for everything from dramatic shifts to slowly evolving textures. With the ability to mix two layers with 63 wavetables each and adjust their positions in real time, you’ve never had more immediate control over your sound design.
Physically Shape Your Sound
You can customize n/zyme’s oscillators by drawing your own waveform shapes right on FANTOM’s touchscreen. Render aggressive jagged waves for bold and edgy sounds, or soften things up by removing the rough edges with the smoothing function.
Modulation Madness
Create striking tonal statements, softly moving soundscapes, or anything in-between by modulating the shape and phase of n/zyme’s waveforms. Use the touchscreen to control the X/Y pads or automate movement using any of the 30 onboard shapes, complete with tempo-synced control over speed, intensity, and more.
Eight Great Filters
The advanced oscillators in n/zyme work great with the warm character of a classic resonant filter. You can freely mix n/zyme’s futuristic oscillators with FANTOM’s eight onboard filter types, including detailed models of vintage designs.
Dual Step LFOs
Modulate n/zyme’s powerful sound-shaping parameters with the two onboard Step LFOs, each with 16 tempo-synced steps and 37 different shapes per step. And with the Step Kick Switch, you can add percussive attack to generate deeply rhythmic sounds and phrases.
Creative Effects
Add the final touches with n/zyme’s full suite of over 90 effects. From vintage lo-fi to modern and pristine, there’s no sound you can’t realize.
Stack, Mix, and Mangle
With FANTOM’s massive DSP power, you can layer multiple n/zymes for ultra-deep tones with sophisticated movement. Or mix n/zyme with classic Roland synthesizers, acoustic instruments, and vocoders to craft sounds never heard before.
