Chase Bliss Audio Onward

Chase Bliss Audio

Living landscapes.

Onward is a sampler controlled by your playing. It moves when you do, capturing the sounds you make to create rich musical landscapes.

You will find responsive accompaniment, synthetic reimaginings, and a whole heap of glitching dreamscapes.

It has two sides – one freeze for soft, smooth sounds, and one glitch for angular, repeating sounds. Combine them into one moving mega-effect, or split them apart for waves of depth and dimension.

• Create rich, layered landscapes with your playing.

• Freeze a moment infinitely, then mold it and bring it to life.

• Introduce a variety of organic and musical glitches.

• Swell, burst and sustain with the synth-inspired Shape section.

Dynamic double

Onward is with you. It moves when you do and uses your own playing to surround you with layered accompaniment. If you go wild, it will too – mellow down a bit and Onward will follow suit.

Simply plug in and start doing what you do.

Effects

Use Onward's clump of built-in effects to add texture, harmony, and motion to your samples. An overdriven sub-octave perhaps, or maybe a low-resolution chorus.

Shape

Onward includes a synth-inspired Shape section that controls the way it moves, for everything from slow swells to infinite plains to tight bursts of sound.

Error

Break up the routine with three different flavors of malfunction. Mess with timing, playback, and condition to make the glitches feel more natural and/or get the freeze in on the fun.

Together or not.

The key to Onward's depth is the way its two channels interact.

You can use them together as one mega-effect, including interactive elements like sidechaining and dynamic ducking.

OR

Choose from a variety of unique ways to split them apart to create more complex effects, like a small orchestra moving in and out of harmony.
