About

Drachma is a warm, three-oscillator analog-style synth for modern electronic music. Each oscillator switches on or off, and the sound runs through a ladder filter, envelopes for the filter and amp, two LFOs, unison and an arpeggiator.

Modulation is hands-on: drag an LFO onto any knob, then drag the knob's ring to set how far it moves, with a readout as you go. An LFO's MAIN switch decides whether it also drives its usual target or only the knobs you patched.

Over 240 presets cover house, trance, techno, synthwave, pop and more, matched in loudness and tagged by genre, type and era in a browser with search, favourites and your own saved sounds. The Athena effects finish the sound: drive, chorus, phaser, echo and reverb.
