Pigtronix’s Gloamer is an all-analog, polyphonic amplitude synthesizer that alters the attack and decay time of any sound source without sacrificing the fidelity of the original tone. Gloamer’s attack function provides a pick-triggered volume swell, which is a cinematic slow-gear effect that’s smooth and controllable with variable timing from extremely fast to very slow. The volume swell cycle can be reset at any moment by muting, letting players craft bowed string-like lines and chords with ease. Gloamer also features an optical compressor that can add subtle punch or extreme sustain, helping to maintain a smooth volume swell effect even with very long attack times.
