Features

Sound engine

  • Two oscillators (saw, triangle or square), each with a ±2 octave range, ±50 cent fine tuning and analog-style drift
  • Noise generator with adjustable density
  • Low-pass filter with resonance, drive and drift, plus a high-pass filter with drive
  • 8-voice polyphony or mono, with glide

Modulation

  • Drag-and-drop modulation: three sources (LFO, AR envelope, ADSR envelope) onto 15 destinations, plus the pan of every voice
  • LFO with sine, triangle, square and random shapes, skew and drift: free-running up to 20 Hz, tempo-synced from 1/1 to 1/64 with dotted and triplet values, or at audio rate
  • ADSR amp envelope, and an AR envelope with delay that can loop
  • Mod wheel and aftertouch assignable to the AR, the LFO, filter cutoff, pitch or volume

Stereo and tuning

  • Independent panning for each of the 8 voices, each one modulatable, plus stereo width
  • Microtuning in 19-, 24-, 31- and 53-tone equal temperament, alongside standard tuning

Interface

  • A GPU-rendered 3D tunnel: each module is a place you fly to with the mouse or arrow keys
  • Live visualizations of the oscillators, filters, envelopes and LFO as you play
  • One-click randomization of the whole patch
  • 75 factory presets, from drums and basses to pads, bells and creatures; save, import and export your own
