Akkord is a hybrid additive / FM synthesizer that creates chord sequences, arpeggios, shimmering pads, delayed synth and deep bass lines, subtle harmonic rhythms, ambient textures and even drum grooves. It's the perfect instrument to add evolving harmonic structures and arpeggios to your rhythm tracks.

RESOCHORD - Polyphonic Resonator

This powerful resonator imprints harmonic structures onto any input signal ? including percussive sounds with no existing harmonics. It consists of 6 feedback units, each resonating at a different frequency, generating rich and luscious chords, which can be played via MIDI.

A combination of six unusual effects that can turn any track into something really special - by slicing, filtering, gating, looping and "freezing" the signal in unspeakable ways.
