The new output limiter protects your ears and monitors while experimenting with the synth’s parameters while providing a maximum of distortion-free dynamics. These new additions are perfect to add punch and definition to your sound, letting you cut through any dense mix or stage. Resonators have been complemented with a low-cut filter to control the clarity of an instrument response.Īdd motion and give a new perspective to sounds with the new built-in arpeggiator module. The noise source spectrum can now be tailored with a 10-band filter bank for fine control of the tone.
APPLIED ACOUSTICS CHROMAPHONE VSTU GENERATOR
The envelope generator for the noise source is now equipped with an AHD mode for carving precise one-shots. This new model reproduces exactly how a real drumhead vibrates, resulting in super realistic and responsive drums and percussions. The completely renewed factory library has well over 600 production-ready sounds for fast and intuitive exploration. – Dynamic voice distribution and processor overload protection – Built-in high-quality effects: chorus, delay and reverb – calculation of sound in real time – no samples – completely based on physical modeling to provide high-quality sound The result is a library of bright and expressive instruments with unsurpassed acoustic accuracy, sharpness and realistic presence. Resonators now move and interact with each other, repeating the behavior of acoustics. In this synthesizer, the developers presented a new linking technology that simulates vibrations in the interaction of objects. If you’re looking for experimentation or sounds you’ve never heard before, this should definitely pique your interest.Chromaphone is a percussion synthesizer that combines acoustic resonators to create percussion, percussion, hammers, string and synthetic sounds. Even anyone who just enjoys the process of discovering new timbres and soundscapes will be able to lose themselves for a few hours when playing around with it. Overall, Abyss is a fantastic tool for composers, sound designers and sound artists. The synth boasts MPE and aftertouch functionalities, which give the user an expressive, tactile sound-shaping experience that also makes it a dab hand when it comes to performance duties. This allows you to drag and drop a selection of pre-defined ‘oscillator’ sounds from the edit panel, and to reposition those timbres over time in order to create evolving soundscapes. The UI is beautifully designed with cool interactive features such as the gradient slider.

It’s a wildly comprehensive, hella realistic virtual instrument for people who like hitting things with sticks but simply don’t have time – or a comprehensive collection of percussion instruments – at their disposal. The consequence of all of this: you can run two complementary sounds in one Chromaphone patch, each wielding a pair of resonators, a different sequence or arp pattern, different modulation and different effects. Modulation is assignable per layer, as are a choice of 14 effects, and the well-featured arpeggiator and sequencer. Instead of selecting a paltry two of these resonators to run alongside each other or coupled together, the physical phun is doubled here, as you select two pairs of them, with control over each one’s properties, and those of the mallet you’re virtually smacking them with.
