Drift

Ableton

Drift is a versatile subtractive synthesizer designed for quick and easy sound design with minimal CPU resources. Fully MPE-capable and featuring two oscillators, dynamic filtering, and extensive modulation options, Drift excels at creating a wide variety of sounds from subtle filter sweeps to complex, detuned textures. Its signature Drift control adds pitch and frequency variation to each voice for a slightly detuned, fluctuating character.
