Waves has introduced its first ever synthesizer plug-in. The Waves Element is an analog-style polyphonic soft synth. It’s available now.

According to Waves, Element was engineered to deliver the fat, gritty sound of the classics, with all the precision, flexibility and control of contemporary digital synths.

“Element includes a vast array of convenient features and functions. Like integrated effects. A 16-step arpeggiator / sequencer. MIDI Learn for all controls. And a massive preset library, with total tweakability. Plus, all parameters are laid out right there in front of you, so when inspiration strikes, there’s no need to scroll through page after page to customize your sounds. Searing leads, booming basses, ethereal pads, electro-percussion, sequential motions, mind-blowing FX and lots more.”

Key Features:

  • Powered by Virtual Voltage™ technology
  • Integrated chorus, delay, reverb, distortion and bit crusher effects
  • 16-step arpeggiator / sequencer
  • Plugin and standalone components
