Slow

Inspired by ambient music pioneers

Slow draws from the sound design of ambient pioneers like Tim Hecker, Boards of Canada, Stars Of The Lid, Oneohtrix Point Never, Mark Pritchard, and Benoit Pioulard. While each artist explored different avenues of ambient music, they share a breathless multitimbral complexity—often richer in overtones than Brian Eno's foundational work. We've captured these sonic elements to create a versatile tool for ambient and cinematic music.

63 oscillators

Each of Slow's 63 oscillators was carefully crafted from synthesizers, granulizers, and organic sources. You'll find subdued ambient tones alongside sounds with lush high frequencies, feedback qualities, and rich overtones.

The sounds are organised into two categories: Tonal and Textures. Tonal forms the core, featuring pleasant single-note instruments with occasional dissonant or multi-note variations. Textures provides noise elements designed to layer with tonal sounds and build immersive soundscapes.

100 presets

Slow includes 100 production-ready presets across six categories: Basses, FX, Keys, Noise Textures, Pads, and Pulsers—with Pads as the centerpiece. Each preset is a playable instrument, ready to use as-is or easily tweaked to fit your track. Beyond ambient pads, Slow can fill out low end, add haunting textures, or provide tonal accompaniment.
