synth-acoustic
hybrid tones

Our software synthesizer Imagine takes inspiration from the body of real life instruments. Combine layers of acoustic sounds, bend them and create unique sonic textures that both sound familiar and new.

hear it in action

It has been a real pleasure to collaborate with Expressive E in the creation of Imagine. At the forefront of a new generation of controllers that provide multidimensional expression, their expertise proved to be a perfect match for our physical modeling technology. Clearly the best of both worlds.

Marc-Pierre Verge CEO Applied Acoustics Systems

This instrument’s sounds are really wonderful.

atypical
instruments

Imagine offers hundreds of modeled instrument layers with very diverse and bold sound identities. All 400 included presets combine two of these instrument layers to offer unheard acoustic timbres.

playful
sound design

Imagine offers visual and straightforward macros for each instrument layer, making for an efficient and playful sound design experience.

enhance
and articulate

Imagine includes a stereo delay, a reverb and a vibrato/freq shifter section to creatively shape sounds. A tilt EQ and a compressor-limiter allow for further control while a unique expressive fx module made of 11 modulation effects unlocks the wildest sound combinations.

the sounds of imagine

Imagine is an extremely versatile plugin that can be used in any style of music. Better than words, listen to these mini-tracks. Other than the drums, all of the sounds were created 100% with Imagine.

built for real-time
modulation

Modulation heaven

For further expressive possibilities, Imagine contains MSEGs (multi-stage envelope generators) that pack a huge collection of modulations for your sounds.

Modulation presets…

Every sound and parameter can be modulated by simple-to-complex envelope shapes that create grooves and textures in a blink. Dozens of envelope presets are included with Imagine.

… and deep customization

Each modulation shape can be modified or sculpted from scratch with a dedicated drawing tool, synced to the tempo, looped and much more.

optimized macro system

4 macros are available and can be assigned to any parameter combination to control various knobs at the same time.
