Dawesome (aka programmer Peter V,) has produced some incredible plugins over the last few years. We made last year’s Kult one of our synths of 2023, for example, and largely before 2023 had even got underway. But Dawesome’s latest synth, Myth, could well be even better. And since we heaped a 10/10 score on Kult, that leaves us with a potential marking issue of Spinal Tap proportions to deal with…
The thinking behind Myth, according to Peter, is to make sound design a lot more fun and instant, so you can get on with the business of music production. “The idea is to get rid of the need to do tons of stuff to get movement in your sound,” he recently told Plugin Boutique. With Myth, then, the idea is to start with a sound and transform it to different places, very quickly.
Eyes to the left
The main structure of Myth is a pair of Irises which essentially act like oscillators. Each gives you a representation of your source sample sound, with a clockwise indicator showing the sample position. But this is no standard sample player. The concept is that Myth takes the organic character of the sound – not the timbre – and lets you do ‘stuff’ with it. The sample is shown in each iris with a clock hand at 12 ‘o’ clock indicating the sample start, and playback carries on going around clockwise (with playback position being controlled by an LFO, should you wish).
