All your suggestions were awesome.

"I’m buying this only to duplicate it.” 

Should I have said Duplicate It Yes?

That’s all I’m looking for. What are the elements of good, evolving textures? And how can I make something similar.

Envelopes!!! Samples and oscillators. Granular synthesis engine. Stuff like that. Lots of envelopes to control filters and amplitude and also panning. All at the same time across multiple sources.

Other elements I have been experimenting with are subtle stereo flangers and phasors. The big one I’m really interested in is HRTF (head related transfer functions). I want the headphone listener to believe they are in the sound, revolving around them.

Re: [sdiy] Search for an ambient synth

2026-03-01 by Adam (synthDIY)

Sounds to me like you need a multi channel analogue desk with some aux channels and subgroups, you hang a bunch of cheap digital delays off the auxs, turn them up to max feedback, feed the aux outputs back into a few desk inputs and put whatever sound source you like on the other inputs, which then feed into the aux channels.

High knobbage factor, high chaos factor, and open to any cheap and cheerful oscillator/drum/sample/microphone input you care for

Done
