Seeker comes loaded with 2GB of meticulously curated content.

9 playable real-world hybrid multi-sampled instruments plus 3 sets of foley textures, found sounds, and curated loops (120 loops in total). Definitely not generic stock sounds, these are rich, full of character, and intentionally recorded to be messed up and investigated.

#loops# section has stretch mode which spreads the last played sound across the whole keyboard.

Or, you can load your own samples, - a covert recording of the neighbours arguing, an old track you now hate, or 'Beg, steal or borrow by the New Seekers'. Whatever you throw at it, Seeker will cannibalize and reinvent it for you.​

It’s a Philosophy... and we like that kinda thing
To seek is to explore—to leave behind the predictable and wander into the unknown. Seeker reminds us that the most beautiful sounds come from the rough edges, the artifacts, the accidents.

It's really easy to use !

Load a sound, play a note, wiggle a few knobs and you are in control of a sonic microscope. Zoom through time, tone, and texture with the modwheel and any MIDI CCs you assign. Seeker is a journey that’s unpredictable, adventurous, and very very SOUND DUST.

Sculpting Movement in Real-Time
Like a faithful sheepdog the seek control chivvies playback forwards and backwards through time. Nothing is static, everything can be manipulated, it's all corralled & synced into sheep pens of sound/noise that you control - and you don't even need to whistle.

the seekquencer
A deceptively simple yet deep sequencer that creatively controls the playback head position - from subtle micro-movements to wild, unpredictable leaps. It reacts intelligently to the seek controller, adding motion, chaos, or groove to your sound in all the right (and wrong) places.
