Expanse & Verv

Two instruments built for texture and tone — one focused on noise and drones, the other on ensemble synthesis and tape character.

Inspired by Larum's Into a Bright Land, Expanse is a noise and drone generator that can be blurred, pitched, and filtered.

Smear harmonic content and pitch source material into drones or midrange tonal beds. Shape the output with filtering to carve space or emphasize resonance.

Verv is a dual-oscillator synthesizer inspired by classic string machines, tape loops and early analog ensemble instruments. It draws from designs like the Freeman String Symphonizer and ARP Solina.

Each voice features its own ensemble modulation. The “Spread” control doubles the oscillators with a slightly detuned voice, creating the thickened chorus effect used in ’60s and ’70s stringers. Because each voice has a unique modulator, the fluctuations are never identical from note to note.

Although designed as a string synthesizer, Verv can produce electric keyboard tones, bass lines and sawtooth leads using Spread, Shape and the envelope controls.
