The SKQ-01 takes FM synthesis to a bold new level by offering nine unique waveforms alongside pulse-width modulation (PWM), enabling the creation of a wide range of sounds from ethereal FM pads to aggressive, powerful bass lines. This synthesizer provides an expansive sonic palette that pushes the boundaries of traditional FM synthesis, allowing producers to explore both subtle textures and intense, noisy tones.

In addition to its FM mode, the SKQ-01 features a normal synthesis mode where two oscillators can be layered to produce rich, full-bodied sounds perfect for massive pads and complex textures. Each oscillator offers individual waveform selection, detuning capabilities, and ADSR envelopes, with the second oscillator also supporting PWM in both synthesis modes. An analog-modeled low-pass filter with resonance can be shaped using a dedicated envelope and LFO, providing expressive tonal control and dynamic sound sculpting.

To enhance sound design further, the SKQ-01 includes built-in distortion, stereo chorus, and reverb effects that add depth and character to any patch. Performance features such as portamento and pitch bend allow for fluid and expressive playing, while the ability to save and load patches and banks within the plugin ensures easy workflow integration. This combination of features makes the SKQ-01 a powerful tool for musicians and producers seeking unique and dynamic synthesized sounds.
