Chase Bliss Onward

The Onward is a dynamic sampler that listens to you—and then transforms your playing into rich, evolving terrains of sound. It responds in real time, unfolding ambient pads or glitching rhythms as you do.

With two-distinct worlds—one channel for fluid, infinite freeze sonics, the other for angular, rhythmic glitch textures—you can blend them into one lush mega-effect or separate them to move and breathe independently.

The Shape section takes your captured sound and gives it life: sweep, swell, burst and morph with a synth-inspired control architecture. Engage Glitch mode for wild chaos or Freeze mode for serene sustain—and integrate both with motion, modulation, and texture via toggle switches and deep routing options.

Expand further: Onward features Stereo I/O, MIDI, CV and Expression control, Internal modulation, True bypass/Buffered dry-thru, Presets (2 internal + 122 via MIDI) and more—making it as much an instrument as a pedal.
