“This leviathan of a synth offers up an infinitely deep sonic playground that puts many a paid-for plugin to shame.”
“Fully modulator and flexible, Fathom CM has enough features to leave even seasoned synthesists gasping for air. Despite its bottomless potential, Fathom CM is really easy to ‘fathom’ with a sleek and intuitive interface that gives immediate and impressive results.” (CM June 2019 Page 65).

Fathom 3D Wave Table Modulation
Fathom Synth
Fathom is a new modular software synthesizer specializing in original waveform development, complex modulations and advanced wave table processing.
Wave Table Morphing Oscillator
Two morphing tables of 16 waveforms each with modulating wave indexes for real-time wave scanning.
The ability to modulate and morph between two tables creating a 3D wave space.
Waveforms in the second table can be added or subtracted from the first.
Algorithms include morph, add and subtract, unipolar, bipolar, chop.
Animated graphs show the operand waveform, operator waveform and combination waveform in real-time.
Each waveform can be loaded or hand-drawn using the wave draw interface.
Waveforms can be auto-filled for perfectly smooth transitions between edited wave positions.
Individual waveforms can be saved and loaded, and entire wave tables can be saved and loaded.
Features
Fully modular signal flow.
The ability to draw your own waveforms.
7 types of oscillators.
Bezier Curve and Wave Draw Oscillators.
All oscillators include:
- AM and FM synthesis.
- Frequency ranged noise generator with built in filter.
- Harmonic and random distortion section.
- Detune section with nonlinear modulations and built in chorus.
32 types of filters.
8 effects: mixer, two chorus, three reverb, phaser, 3 channel digital delay with built-in filters and multiple sends.
Modulators: LFO, LFO Draw, ADSR, Multisegment Envelope, Sequencer, Random Sample and Hold, Keyboard Tracking and MIDI control, with up to 64 segments per envelope.
Modulation matrix: unlimited modulations per dial, unlimited dials per modulation.
Exponential and Bezier envelope curves.
The ability to export your own waveforms to WAV format (pro version only).
