Yum Audio announce the Ember synthesizer for warm, analogue driven tones

Yum Audio Ember
Words by Paul Blomfield

Ember is available now from Yum Audio, an unparalleled vibe machine for music makers from all edges of every genre!

Yum Audio have turned the heat up with their sizzling new soft synth Ember: a warm, vibrant instrument plugin presented on a clean, ergonomic work-surface, packed with enough succulent presets to set your tastebuds and your earbuds ablaze. 

It starts with a juicy stack of flame-grilled oscillators in three different waveform flavours (square; saw; triangle). Choose the thickness and doneness of your waves with parameters for pulse width and frequency modulation. Not enough fat? Blend in a sub for no extra cost.

Next, choose from the spicy range of filtering accoutrement to shape the profile of your sound, from dark and flat with beefy bottom end, to positively fizzing with enough resonance to erode the enamel from your teeth.

The real magic happens in the ‘CIRCUIT’ section, dripping with effects that colour your tone as rich and gooey or as tart and zesty as your pallet desires. Featuring everything from a crunchy ‘crackle’ to a syrupy ‘chorus’, to saucy delay and reverb options that will help to draw out the flavour for longer. The ‘Wear’ and ‘Stability’ options give you control over characteristics like rust, age and detuning. Individual XY pads allow ultra-fine control over the measurements of your ingredients, so you can precisely replicate that elusive sound Mama used to bake in the family recording studio back in the old days.

Add two fully customisable envelopes and sandwich it all between master XY pad controls for width, tone, time and intensity, and you’ve got yourself a tasty synth made with love.

Not enough time to build one from scratch yourself? The best part of unpacking any new synth is surfing the preset menu, and Ember has got you covered. With over 130 options including arps, bass, brass, fx, keys, leads, pads and plucks, and a handy ‘best of’ section to get you started, you’ll need an antacid once you’re done chewing through them all.

Prone to choice paralysis? Can’t decide which one of the delicious presets to choose from the menu? Let Ember choose for you! With the built-in randomise option, Ember will feed you an assorted combination of settings based on whatever the algorithm finds in the fridge. You can even customise the spice-level of your randomness: ‘Random Sparks’, ‘Igniting Ideas’, ‘It’s getting wild!’, all the way up to ‘Chaotic Inferno’!
