Designed as a true vibe machine, its intuitive interface lets you easily shape expressive, rich tones that go beyond ordinary synthesizer sounds, offering endless possibilities for your sound exploration and creativity.
Ember's Vibe Machine begins the signal path
Ember delivers more than just analog warmth; it's a synthesizer designed for pure character. Built from the ground up, it offers vibrant, living tones that breathe life into your tracks. Whether you're after modern clarity or over-the-top vintage grit, the unique circuits bring out the raw soul in every sound.
Simplicity Meets Character
The sleek interface keeps creation effortless while packing powerful features. With a single movement, the master controls shape the entire synth, adjusting envelope timing, effects, and circuitry intensity to bring your sound to life.
The Drift section introduces subtle, evolving motion across parameters—including the Master Controls—making each tone rich, dynamic, and full of character.
FX Designed to Inspire
The FX suite enhances its character with Crackle, Ripple, Chorus, Compress, Heat, Echo, and Space, each tuned to work seamlessly with it's oscillator engine.
No need for an external FX chain to make your synth sound interesting — Ember brings fully produced, mix-ready sound right out of the box, with warmth, depth, and texture to make your tracks come alive.
A Synth That Feels Musical
Let’s be real: the world doesn’t need just another analog-style synthesizer. With Ember, the goal wasn’t to add complexity but to distill the experience into something musical. Inspired by the warmth of classic synth tones (think Boards of Canada and beyond), Ember is all about injecting emotion into every note you play. It’s intuitive, expressive, and incredibly easy to use while giving you the freedom to craft your own vibe.
Less Is More
Yum Audio kept the controls limited—but powerful. Every knob, every switch is there for a reason. Want lush pads? Fat basslines? Fluttering keys? It’s all in there, without the overwhelming menu-diving or endless tweaking. The interface invites you to play and discover, with just enough depth to keep things exciting for even the most advanced sound designers.
Unique, Characterful Sound
Ember’s tone is alive. From its oscillator section with built-in saturation to its analog-style filters, every part of this synth is tuned to deliver warmth and richness. The Drift feature adds subtle, organic movement to your sound, making it feel more human and dynamic. And with a suite of carefully crafted effects like Heat, Ripple, and Space, you’re equipped to build fully produced sounds right out of the box.
