FOG KEYS
Keys that drift.
One knob turns the whole patch to haze.
01Listen
Press play.
Let it drift.
Everything here is FOG KEYS on its own, rendered by the plugin. No other instruments, nothing added after. Put headphones on.
02The fog
One knob.
The patch turns to haze.
FOG moves four things at once: filter, detune, space and movement. Drag the knob.
One phrase, rendered at FOG 0, 35, 70 and 100. Drag while it plays.
03Layers
Five layers.
One instrument.
Two oscillators, a felt hit for the attack, FM for shine and a little noise. Tap them in and out.
Each step adds one layer to the same phrase.
04Play it
Your mod wheel
becomes the fog.
Send the wheel to FOG or CUTOFF and play the haze in and out with one hand. Poly glide slides every voice to its next note.
The wheel rises to full and falls back across the phrase.
32 voices · poly glide
05Every preset
Each sound
wears its own silk.
The circle at the center of FOG KEYS is a moving satin loop. It takes the color of the preset you load, so the screen tells you the mood before you play.
