Cymatics just put out Ocean Pluck, a brand-new instrument you can shape any way you want. It mixes Karplus-Strong synthesis with a flowing sound design that changes as you play. The makers took their cues from how ocean waves move and the ping of sonar systems. You control every aspect of delay, resonance, and motion, which makes your melodies pulse and breathe like something alive.
The people at Cymatics claim Ocean Pluck is more than just another plugin—they see it as a fresh take on pluck synthesis. The interface reacts right before your eyes, sending visual ripples across the screen whenever you hit a note. You can craft gentle organic sounds, or harsh metallic plucks with endless textures that work for any music style you create.
The plugin gives you seven different ways to shape how your sounds develop and interact. Echo adds space and rhythm. The Waves feature creates pulsing effects through LFO sidechaining. You'll find a rich reverb for depth and a Dream control that adds tape-like warmth. The Sparkle option blends shimmering granular effects for extra atmosphere. Plus, Decay and Damping knobs let you adjust your plucks from quick percussive hits to long, floating notes.
Ocean Pluck costs $97 and works on Mac and Windows computers with VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats. Musicians can also access it through the Cymatics All Plugins & Samples Pass, which costs $25 monthly or $199 yearly. This subscription option might save money for producers who want the full collection of Cymatics tools.
