A Creative Powerhouse
Raizes is a hybrid platform that blends advanced sampling with powerful wavetable synthesis, designed to host and enhance our custom instruments. With its 6-layer audio engine, dual filters, 36 FX slots, and a comprehensive modulation system, Raizes is a true creative powerhouse.
Now featuring an intelligent MIDI generative engine and a curated library of over 1,200 MIDI files, Raizes goes beyond sound design to become a foundational tool for your entire composition. Compatible with MPE devices — expression (pitch bend, pressure, slide) is applied globally, making it a powerful environment for producers and composers looking to unlock new levels of expression and inventiveness.
Build, blend, and bend your sound with six powerful layers.
Each layer in Raizes is fully customizable — adjust level, pan, pitch, and width independently, or dive deeper with creative sample tools like time-stretching, reverse playback, and random start points. Whether you're layering subtle textures or crafting complex soundscapes, Raizes gives you complete control over every detail.
Take full control of your sound with Raizes powerful modulation engine.
Easily link any control to dynamic sources like LFOs, mod wheels, and MPE controllers. Shape movement with custom curves, smooth transitions, and rhythmic pulses — turning every tweak into a musical performance.
Sculpt your sound with a wide palette of creative effects
Each layer gives you six FX slots to play with — from classic EQs and reverbs to gritty saturation, beautiful delays, and unique textures like RaizesVerb and Wow/Flutter. Mix, match, and experiment your way to something entirely new.
Bring your melodies to life with Raizes built-in arpeggiator.
Choose from playful patterns like up, down, random, or chords, and dial in the groove with controls for speed, swing, note length, and more. Whether you're sketching ideas or crafting complex sequences, it adds instant movement and energy to your sound.
Generate instant inspiration with the intelligent MIDI engine.
The Raizes MIDI generator acts as a sophisticated songwriting partner, instantly crafting musical foundations to kickstart your next project. By utilizing logic-based blueprints, it generates harmonically perfect progressions across a vast array of scales — including Major, Lydian, Phrygian Dominant, Exotic Scales, and Diminished — ensuring you never have to start from a blank slate again.
A massive collection of curated MIDI foundations.
Expand your creative palette with over 1,200 MIDI files organized into thematic categories for cinematic and ambient workflows. Explore diverse sections like Cinematic Suspense, Ambient Shimmer, and Textural Clouds, or dive into complex structures like Polychordal Layers, Exotic Scales, and Minimalist Pulses.
