Sonicware Evoke Acoustronic Synthesizer

SONICWARE Evoke – Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect

Evoke is an ambient synthesizer combining acoustic instruments with electronic textures. It uses the Acoustronic Flux Oscillator and Grain FX to create constantly evolving soundscapes suitable for cinematic, post-classical, and experimental music.

Acoustronic Flux Oscillator

The synth engine transforms acoustic instruments into unique acoustronic sounds. INST instruments capture subtle tonal characteristics, while WAVE adds harmonic and textural variation. BACKTIDE modulation reverses and undulates the sound evolution, producing dynamic and lively tones. Instruments include Grand Piano, Upright Piano, Electric Piano, Harpsichord, Marimba, Harp, Violin, Cello, Flute, Saxophone, Trumpet, and Guitar.

Grain FX – Musical Granular Effect

Grain FX slices phrases into micro-grains and allows control over shape, timing, pitch, playback direction, and spatial positioning. Pitch can be aligned to octaves, fifths, or other scales, and buffer size syncs to the pattern tempo. The effect can be applied per track or to external stereo input.

Dense and Multi-Dimensional Reverb

Evoke includes ten reverb types, including the veiled "Mirage". Send levels can be adjusted per track and combined with Grain FX to create varied spatial effects.

All-in-One 4-Track Sequencer

The 4-track sequencer allows up to 64 steps per pattern and 128 patterns in total, including 16 preset templates. Notes can be recorded step-by-step, in real time, or on the fly with Parameter Lock per step. The sequencer supports random playback, note probability, pattern chaining, transposition, and track level/pan adjustments. SYNC and MIDI allow synchronized play with other devices.

Portability

Evoke has a built-in speaker and battery operation, making it easy to use at home or outdoors. It features 27 keys with hold function and 15 knobs with optional LATCH function for smooth parameter control.
