Description:

Subtractive hybrid synthesizer.

Specs:

General

  • Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid
  • Each patch contain two 'scenes' which are seperate instances of the enitre synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layering or split patches.
  • Category based patch-browser that is fast to use

Oscillators

  • 3 oscillators/voice
  • 5 versatile oscillator algorithms:
  • Classic, Sinus, Wavetable, S/H Noise and Audio-input

  • The classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dualsaw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and self-sync.
  • Most algorithms (all except sinus and audio-input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
  • Oscillator FM/ringmodulation
  • All oscillator algorithms are band-limited yet they still cover the entire audible spectrum.
  • Noise generator with variable spectrum

Filterblock

  • Two filter-units with arrangeable in 7 different configurations
  • Feedback loop
  • Available filter-algorithms: LP12, LP24, LP24L (ladder filter with 1-4 poles), HP12, HP24, BP, Notch, Comb+, Comb-
  • Waveshaper (5 shapes)

Modulation

  • 12 LFO-units available to each voice (6 are running on each voice and 6 are shared for the scene)
  • DAHDSR envelope generators on every LFO-unit
  • 7 deformable LFO-waveforms + 1 drawable/stepsequencer waveform
  • Extremely fast and flexible modulation routing. Almost every continuous parameter can be modulated.

Effects

  • 8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts/scene, 2 sends and 2 master effects
  • 9 top-quality algorithms: Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo-image control & limiter), Rotary speaker, Frequency shifter

New in v1.5.1a

  • Sustain pedal (and other CC controllers) now works correctly for scene B.
  • The ringmod 2&3 signal in the osc mixer wasn't stereo with the wide filter-block configuration.
  • Loading the preset "delay pops 4" no longer causes a crash.
  • The step-sequencer couldn't retrigger envelopes when the modulation output of LFO1 wasn't used.
  • [PC] When importing wavetables using wav-files they can now be up to 1024 samples long.
  • [OSX] Reduced threading priority for patch switches, which should eliminate glitches on patch-changes.
  • [OSX/PowerPC] Fixes for DSP-bugs in filters, wide-mode, oscillators & oscillator mixer.
