Tomofon

Tomofon is a groundbreaking new synth from Klevgrand.

This virtual instrument is using a new innovative ”Audio Model” format with a unique capability to process very large volumes of waves, extracted from real audio. Whether you want to play around with the included Audio Model Starter Pack (instruments & voices) and presets, or import your own audio to shape your own unique soundscapes – it is fair to say that you are in for a creative journey.

There are already lots of synths and samplers around, so why this?

Simply put, Tomofon is not a sampler. It is a musical instrument in its own right and doesn’t necessarily aim to imitate real instruments or voices. Tomofon introduces a new “Audio Model” format where the generated sounds are seamlessly morphed between different layers and sections of a massive amount of real audio waves. This gives an instantly playable synthesizer that can sound very organic, but also like something out of this world. The possibilities of changing the character of the sounds are so vast and multi-layered that it will add a new extra dimension to your music production.

How does it work?

Tomofon converts audio files into a large set of oscillating waves, which are then mapped into pitch zones where each wave represents one layer (a bit similar to how a sampler structures different velocity zones). The main difference is that since each zone is populated with waves instead of ordinary samples, the synth engine can morph between them (both layers and zones). This makes all transitions between zones and layers continuous and seamless. The structure containing these organized wavetables is called an Audio Model and gives Tomofon its dynamic properties and characteristic sound.

Create and share your own unique sounds

A significant feature of this plug-in is that users can import their own audio files and create new and unique Audio Models. Ordinary audio files (preferably with monophonic content) can easily be imported and distributed into different pitch zones over the keyboard range, either automatically or manually. Doing an automatic import is basically a one-click process which instantly results in a proper playable Audio Model. A manual import gives the user full control of which waves should end up in which pitch zone. Last but not least you can easily share your own created Audio Models with others.

Included in Tomofon v1.0

Tomofon comes pre-loaded with a pack of 124 Audio Models. Included with your download is also over 180 presets to choose from, to get you going right away. From there on you can venture further and experiment with the existing Audio Models, or start using the built-in editor of the plug-in, importing your own sounds to shape and deconstruct. More instruments (Audio Model Packs and presets) will be added by Klevgrand in the future.

Keep your eyes open for upcoming releases – the Tomofonia has just begun!

Features

The synth engine is packed with features that emphasizes the musical and audible possibilities of how to play back an Audio Model. Everything is displayed in an intuitive manner that supports a musical workflow.

  • Pitch and (layer) depth envelopes that can be edited by the user
  • 124 instruments
  • Over 180 presets
  • Envelope times can separately be controlled via MIDI velocity
  • Several LFO’s (including Sample and Hold with randomness)
  • Modulation matrix (2 x MIDI CC, Velocity and Keymap)
  • Monophonic playback with separate glide times for pitch and velocity
  • Polyphonic legato playback where started notes syncs envelopes with currently playing ones
  • Up to 4 doubling voices with separate pitch, pan and level
  • Filter with modulation possibilities
  • Post Reverb, Delay and EQ
  • Requires macOS 10.10 or later (optimized for the M1-processor), Windows 7 (SP1) or later, running a AU, VST3 or AAX compatible 64-bit host.
  • Upon purchase you will receive a redeem code. This redeem code is NOT the activation license serial number. You will have to enter the redeem code, and register an account at www.klevgrand.com/redeem. This will in turn give you a license serial number.

ResonHeart

ResonHeart is the physical modeling simulation of a never seen before, experimental, aerophone-based acoustic instrument.

Characterized by a complex modal-based architecture, this original machine has expressly been built to mimic the sound of different families of acoustic instruments – like winds, membranes, chromatic percussions, ethnic lutes and whistles, glasses, cymbals and crashes, vocal ensembles and choirs, or even an entire orchestral strings section – as well as to produce very unconventional, organic tones, evolving textures and expressive motion pads.

Working on the principles of fluid dynamics and designed to potentially be a real-world replicable machine, every single component inside ResonHeart has been modeled after existing hardware – commercially available devices like air pumps, pneumatic valves and metal resonators. Also the surrounding room acoustics has been carefully modeled, simulating a wide range of spatial environments, from small chambers to big concert halls, to stone-walled cathedrals and beyond.

Moreover, ResonHeart features a clean and intuitive interface, making the sound designing process just simple and effective.

The Imitation Game

Built as a virtual instrument through the use of physical modeling techniques (ACS), ResonHeart has to be considered as a natural born acoustic machine made of clockwork components, air pumps, motors, pneumatic valves and complex resonator blocks (one per voice). Each resonator block consists of a set of sixteen universal Helmholtz resonators (which can be individually triggered and tuned) arranged in a characteristic modal-synthesis disposal. This particular design makes ResonHeart genuinely capable to imitate the peculiar sound of a wide range of acoustic systems, including rigid-body or membrane-based percussions and cymbals – one of the hardest things to simulate using physical modeling.

With no electronic components involved in its sound generation process, ResonHeart is a real mechanical synthesizer, an articulated acoustic instrument which can also mimic the tones and flavors of other acoustic instruments – and its extended set of mechanical automations and modulation units will also provide manifold, evolving dynamics to the final sound.

Also, ResonHeart’s simplified interface makes the sound designing process seamless, since all the controls and parameters are always in plain sight, arranged on its single-view panel.

Trig the main pump motor, provide energy to the air turbulence and modify the cross-sectional area of the ducts. Change the internal volume and the embouchures aperture for each of the Helmholtz resonators and take control of every nuance of your tone by assigning different modulations for each of the pneumatic valves.

Finally, place each of the resonator blocks inside an accurately modeled hall space and be prepared to reach expressive performances, organic and evocative sounds that will go far beyond what ordinary electronic or acoustic instruments can do.

Main Features

  • Physical modeling simulation of a complex acoustic sound generator machine, achieved by the adoption of the Advanced Component Simulation (ACS) approach
  • Full 64-bit processing accuracy for every single aspect of the simulation
  • A 100% original aerophone-based mechanical acoustic instrument, featuring an articulated modal architecture and capable of mimicking other acoustic instruments’ tones and flavours
  • Entirely made of mechanical components (resonators, motors, valves) which have been modeled after existing, commercially available parts
    • Air pump motors with dedicated automations and retrig control
    • Venturi valves
    • Swing motors and valves (from 0.1 Hz up to 20 Hz)
    • Pneumatic solenoid valves (with a 3-ms aperture, 2-ms disclosure timing)
  • Air turbulence dispersion control
  • A complex resonator block (one per voice) made of sixteen universal Helmholtz resonators, each with independent tuning (internal volume) and pressure (embouchure) controls
    • A dedicated modulation for resonators’ tuning, featuring Swing, Contour, Velocity and Pitch Follower controls
    • A dedicated modulation for resonators’ pressure, featuring Swing, Contour, Velocity and Pitch Follower controls
  • Operates as a monophonic or polyphonic (4-voices) instrument
  • True polyphony, achieved by simulating separate, fully-independent mechanical sound generators
  • Separate controls for global tuning, voices detune (spread), pitch bending (amount) and portamento
  • An accurate room / hall simulation (resonator-based)
  • A spatial displacement engine, arranging the instrument’s four voices/blocks inside the room space
  • Including a 130+ ready-to-use factory presets collection, covering different styles and genres, including deep and solid basses, real-world cymbals and crashes, membranes and percussions, woodwinds, plucked strings, ethnic bells and whistles, organic motion pads, symphonic strings and choirs sections, evolving soundscapes, psychoacoustic sound effects and more
  • MIDI automation
  • Support for sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz

Elka-X

A Renaissance Synthesizer

Cherry Audio Elka-X Synthesizer is based upon the legendary Synthex , a rare Italian analog synthesizer designed by Mario Maggi and manufactured by ELKA in the early eighties. Elka-X replicates the extraordinary character of the original synth without compromising sound or functionality, thoughtfully expanding its feature set and delivering the authentic Synthex experience at a price anyone can afford.

The Synthex included a combination of uncommon and forward – looking features that made it stand out from other contemporary synthesizers, including highly stable digitally – controlled analog oscillators and a flexible four – pole multimode filter. Unlike most other popular synths that utilized CEM3320 filter chips in a lowpass – only configuration, the Synthex filter featured a 24 dB/oct lowpass mode, 6 and 12 dB/oct bandpass modes, and a 12 dB/oct highpass mode. Along with a powerful onboard analog chorus effect, this gave the Synthex a distinct and powerful tonality. It was multitimbral, with the ability to play two different patches simultaneously, in either split or layer mode. It even included an innovative four – track monophonic step – sequencer with real – time recording and transposition.

By the mid – 80s, ELKA made the last Synthex for Stevie Wonder, who used it for the distinctive bass tone on his single “Skeletons” from the 1987 album Characters. Other notable users of the Synthex were Geoff Downes of the supergroup Asia, Keith Emerson, Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, Peter Howell of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and Jean – Michel Jarre, who used it extensively on Rendezvous and for his famed “laser harp” sound.

X-pertly Extended and Enhanced!

Each aspect of Elka-X has been precisely modeled upon Cherry Audio’s pristine vintage Synthex. Every effort was taken to emulate the prized tone of the original’s DCOs, dynamic filter, and stunning chorus. We’ve preserved the innovative sound – sculpting and performance features such as layering and keyboard split, and hugely improved the original’s clunky step sequencer.

Once again, Cherry Audio has kept the soul of a classic alive while enhancing its feature set for modern studio environments. We’ve increased the polyphony, included mono and unison modes, and added velocity response that was absent from the original design. We’ve expanded the functionality of the filter and the LFOs, greatly extending the modulation options. We not only simplified the operation of the four – track step sequencer but added a complete arpeggiator with independent assignments for both layers.

Unique panel controls make it painless to exchange settings between layers, sequencer tracks, and even different presets. In addition to the chorus effect found in the original, Elka-X adds studio – quality echo and reverb stereo effects, with independent settings for both layers. With additional touches such as chord memory, over 500 pro patches, and flexible MIDI mapping, Cherry Audio’s Elka-X brings the authentic and expanded Synthex experience roaring into the 21st century.

Elka-X Features:

  • Two part multitimbral operation: two different patches simultaneously playable, in either a keyboard split or stacked layer mode, with user – specified split point and discrete controls for layer volume and panning
  • 16 polyphonic voices which can be layered or split across the keyboard
  • Panel Control for selecting layers, with a utility function for exchanging settings between the Lower and Upper sound layers, or even between presets
  • Two DCO oscillators with triangle, sawtooth, square, and variable pulse waveforms and independent tuning
  • Modes for polyphonic, single voice, and unison monophonic with unison detune
  • PWM Cross Modulation and Ring Modulation for both oscillators
  • White or Pink Noise Generator
  • CEM3320 – style multimode filter with 12 or 24 dB/oct lowpass, 6 or 12 dB/oct bandpass, or 12 dB/oct highpass
  • Two tempo – syncable LFOs
  • Two independent modulation sections: a fixed LFO 1 section, and performance – oriented LFO 2 section, intended for use with pitch and mod wheel controllers
  • LFO 1 has triangle, sawtooth, ramp, bi polar square, unipolar square, and random waveforms; LFO 2 triangle waveform only
  • ADSR Filter and Amplifier envelope generators with Velocity control
  • Multi Trigger for the ADSR Filter and Amplifier envelope generators (in monophonic modes)
  • Chord Memory and Oscillator 2 sync
  • Tempo Sync buttons for LFO 1 and 2, Sequencer rate, Arpeggio rate, and Echo rate for easy sync to DAW project tempo

FabFilter One

Amazing Oscillators, Unique Filters

For FabFilter One, we have put tremendous effort in creating the best cut-off filter ever.

Our new design approach has resulted in the fattest and smoothest self-oscillating digital filter you have ever heard. It has been tuned carefully to achieve the character and warmth of a classic analog synthesizer. FabFilter One’s filter sounds raw but never cheap or ‘digital’, even at full resonance.

The filter is fed by an equally high-quality solid-sounding oscillator, developed from scratch to be completely aliasing-free. It features sawtooth, triangle, and square wave forms with pulse width modulation.

The oscillator and the filter can be modulated by the LFO and the EG. The LFO offers triangle and square wave forms, with adjustable wave balance so any wave form between sawtooth and triangle can be selected. The tempo can be synchronized to the host. The EG has the usual ADSR knobs, but with a perfectly fine-tuned feel. Also, it has an additional Hold setting that extends the time keys are held down.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Aliasing-free high quality oscillator with triangle, sawtooth, and square wave forms
  • Fat and ultra-smooth self-oscillating low-pass filter
  • LFO with tempo sync, triangle and square wave forms, and adjustable wave balance
  • Fine-tuned EG with additional Hold setting
  • Frequency and filter cut-off modulation
  • Pulse width modulation
  • Filter keyboard tracking
  • Velocity sensitivity
  • 10-voice polyphony
  • White/pink noise generator

Suit73 V2

Suitcase Electric Piano

Sampleson have extracted the Suitcase 73’s DNA and packed it into a 35MB virtual instrument.

Suit73 is the most detailed emulation Sampleson have created so far. Presenting the second generation of Sampleson’s spectral modelling engine (DNAudio 2.0) allowing them to create realistic and warm emulations.

Hyper-Detailed Spectral Modelled Suitcase Electric Piano

Suit73 was made upon spectral modelling. A technique providing realistic sounds since it’s based on real samples and not mathematical approaches like physical modelling.

It sounds real because it is real: sound is created the same way it’s in nature (stacking simple sinewaves together). This is why it feels organic and warm.

Sampleson mapped more than 64 groups of timbre components (releases, bells, key noises, main timbre, resonance, etc) and recreated them by spectral modelling. Archiving a realistic and warm sound in just 35MB and very low CPU usage.

Features

  • Spectral modelled 73-key Suitcase Electric Piano.
  • Based on real samples.
  • Just 35MB.
  • No velocity-switching.
  • Drive FX.
  • Phaser w/intensity and frequency FX.

Loom

Explore Additive Synthesis

Loom is an award-winning modular additive synthesizer with a shape-shifting Morph Pad that makes it easy to create rich, swirling, and captivating sounds.

Loom takes a unique modular approach to additive synthesis, a synthesis technique that involves combining simple waveforms together to create complex sounds, by allowing anyone to select from and combine 30 editable modules.

Create anything from wobbles, ethereal pads, ambient soundscapes, and much more.

The programmable Morph Pad brings your Loom patches to life by morphing between user-defined variations of your patch, adding motion and momentum that continues to evolve.

PLEASE CHECK THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Please Note: This product is not compatible with MAC OS Catalina or Big Sur. please check both the features and system requirements tabs before purchasing this plugin

FEATURES:

  • A modular additive synthesizer with a sound-shifting Morph Pad
  • 30 editable sound modules; freely combinable in 10 cells
  • Morph Pad enables point-and-click sound morphing 350+ patches programmed by legendary sound designers
  • Smart Sound Randomizer to quickly design unique sounds
  • Economy mode reduces the load on the host processor with minimal impact on the sound
  • 64-bit plugin: VST, AU, RTAS, and AAX formats

Mix & Match Modules

Loom allows up to 512 harmonic partials per patch and uses an intuitive modular design to create complex sounds quickly and easily. Each of the 30 editable modules performs a specific sonic task—Octaver, Second Tone, Moving Filter, Noise, Linear Lowpass, Modulator, etc.

The Loom framework provides a series of cells, where up to 10 of these modules can interact and be combined to generate an additive synthesis patch. Each module includes task-specific parameters for detailed, individual control of the patch. For real-time visual feedback of your sound, each module includes a spectrum window, offering a visual indication of how that module is affecting the individual harmonics of the sound.

Make Your Music Move

Loom’s Morph Pad is a powerful tool that adds dynamics and movement to your patches. Using a condensed set of control knobs, Loom allows you to quickly create up to four variations of your sound, and assign each one to different quadrant of the Morph Pad. Point, click, and drag anywhere on the Morph Pad to create a morph path. As the sound moves along this patch, you will here it morph in real time between your four variations.

This morphing can be free form, or set to sync up to a particular musical unit—1 bar, 4 bars, etc. Plus, each segment of the morph path can be synced individually.

Stunning Sound Design

Loom comes packed with sounds. Acclaimed sound designers Richard Devine and Mark Ovenden have created 350+ professional, tweakable patches that include wobbles, pads, bass, soundscapes, and more.

You can tweak, analyze, and customize their sounds to make them your own, or dig deep and begin creating your own additive sounds from scratch. For sonic inspiration, Loom’s Smart Sound Randomizer instantly generates new parameters—or a new mix of modules—to jump-start your sound design sessions. All parameters can be mapped for MIDI control.

More than Modules

Each Loom patch begins with editable Spectral Distortion and Spectral Modulation controls that influence the overall sound. Three LFOs provide tempo sync-able modulation sources that any module can access. Four velocity-sensitive Envelope Generators add an extra layer of control that can change and evolve over time.

Octave control, global pitch, glide time, and other patch-specific controls offer additional tools for your custom sound-shaping experience.

Expressive Effects

Onboard effects add extra expression to your customized additive sound creations. Using the drive or distortion on an additive sound can produce an aggressive edge or introduce rich harmonic changes.

Modulation effects include a chorus and a phaser. Each can add remarkable depth and motion to your sound. Loom also includes a reverb effect to help your sound sit in the mix, or to create an expansive audio environment.

Minimonsta2

Minimonsta2 – Boldly going where no mini has gone before.

When we first released it, the original Minimonsta gained heavy praise from fans and critics alike for providing an extraordinarily accurate sonic replication of the legendary Model D®. But it went much further, augmenting the simplicity of the original design with a host of new features that allowed the deeply familiar tones to be pushed into previously unexplored sonic realms. Minimonsta2 retains the fundamental architecture at the heart of its predecessor, but builds on this in ways that extend its sonic and musical capabilities into a uniquely deep & musical instrument and sets it apart from other Mini.

Minimonsta2 features a new fully resizable UI, an improved audio engine, a powerful new Preset Browser, over 300 new presets, a new Reverb effect, a Vintage control for adding subtle analogue imperfections, four programmable Macros, selectable 4-stage envelopes, an alternative bass-preserving ladder filter, PWM for OSC1 and much more. These powerful new features give Minimonsta2 an authentic experience that’s designed for the modern setup.

[Mini]Monsta

True to the original Model D®, the heart of Minimonsta2 provides the full original feature set with precise waveforms, a beautifully accurate resonant filter, snappy ADS envelope generators and the wonderful Mini loop-feedback function. Using just these classic parameters, Minimonsta2 has a huge tonal palette that ranges from fat to fierce, and searing to sizzling. However, there’s so much more here, as a plethora of additions turn a beautifully realised Mini into a truly unique Monsta.

[Monsta]Mini

Using our unique X-Modifier technology, the scope of sound modulation possibilities is immense. An intuitive X-LFO and X-ADSR section provides you with the ability to create extensive modulations of almost every parameter, allowing you to create hugely complex, yet musical, sounds. So, while the tone and character at the heart of the synth remains authentic to the original, the additional features turn it into a true sonic Monsta with no equivalent.

Inspiration At The Speed Of Sound

Minimonsta2 features our new, highly flexible preset browser, giving you the power to organise your sounds in a way that suits your workflow. With extensive tagging, sorting and search possibilities, it’s now quick and easy to find the presets you want. Talking of presets, we’ve got them by the bucketload. Firstly, we’ve included more than 300+ brand new production-ready presets. You can also access 500 legacy presets, which have all been categorised and tagged for easy navigation. With a total of over 800 presets, inspiration is just moments away.

MPowerSynth

MPowerSynth is an extremely versatile synthesizer featuring the best sounding oscillators on the market, the most advanced distorting filters and a unique modular effects engine. It also features our smart randomization system providing endless inspiration!

1500+ High Quality Presets and Randomiser

MPowerSynth comes with over 1500 community designed presets, post-processed to get the highest possible quality. Each preset features at least 4 macro controls, automatically assigned to standard MIDI controllers such as modulation wheel or expression pedal. This means unexhaustible set of leads, pads, basses, effects and much more… And if you run out of inspiration or simply want something really new, our ground-breaking smart randomization engine will let you create literally infinite number of sounds.

Sounds Better than Both Analog & Digital

Almost all digital synthesizers on the market produce severe aliasing. Some try to fight it by oversampling, some ignore it, and others simply add some noise and tell you that this simulates analog synthesizers. Analog synthesizers on the other hand suffer from limited versatility, distortion induced by the imperfection of the analog components, and, of course, noise. MPowerSynth oscillators provide crystal clear sound free of any aliasing, distortion and other imperfections. But of course, if you want to make it less perfect, MPowerSynth gives you plenty of opportunities to do so. Don’t take our word for it – get the trial and check it yourself! If you don’t hear it, just use an analyzer, MAnalyzer is free :).

More than 100 Ultra Versatile Filters

MPowerSynth features extremely versatile double-distorting filters, two of them for each voice and any number of them in the FX section. Each provides an advanced input distortion and output saturation, and the filter itself is powered by its own envelope or you can control it using the powerful modulators. And you can choose from more than 100 different filters – from classic low/high/band-pass and shelves, to formant, comb, diffuser, polymorph filters and much more.

The Ultimate Modular FX Section

MPowerSynth features almost all of the top-class effects MeldaProduction is known for, in an easy-to-use modular environment. If you just want a great sounding rotary or chorus, it is 2 clicks away. But you can have literally any number of effects you want, connect them however you want, add feedback etc. The smart randomizer can generate the whole FX structures! And if you jump in manually, it really lets you unleash your creativity! So what effects you have at your disposal? Over 35, consisting of modulation effects, filters, distortion, dynamics and much more. And of course lots of building blocks, such as a crossover, feedback, mixer etc.

Extremely Versatile Modulators

All our creative plugins feature probably the most versatile modulators on the market, and MPowerSynth is no exception. Whenever you wish to bring life to the sound, it is just a few clicks away. You can modulate literally anything using LFO, envelope and random generator. Things like MIDI reset, sync, custom LFO and envelope shapes are certainly available…

Polyphonic Arpeggiator

MPowerSynth’s polyphonic arpeggiator is so versatile, that you may consider it cheating! It can follow your chords up, down, randomly, play all of the notes, specific interval, or any combination. Then you have shuffle, note length, multi-octave etc. You can change velocity, octave, length and even probability for each step. And the best part is, as always, the smart randomizer, which lets you generate complete arpeggiator settings, or just some sequences…get inspired!

New Standard in Audio Synthesis

MPowerSynth just gives you more than you are used to – custom glide shape, custom velocity curve, harmony voices, automatic output volume setup, safety limiter, up to 16x oversampling and much more… Whether you are focused on audio quality, maximum creativity or ease-of-use, MPowerSynth provides more. MPowerSynth is a new class of synthesizers focused on the future.

Features

The Most Advanced User Interface on the Market – Stylable, Resizable, GPU Accelerated

  • Modern user interfaces must not only be easy and quick to use, but also versatile and the whole visual appearance should inspire you. MPowerSynth features the most advanced GUI engine on the market. It is still the first and only GUI engine, which is freely resizable and stylable. It also lets you choose between knobs, sliders or buttons, whichever you like the most.
  • The plugin can look as an ancient vintage gear, if you are working on old-school rock music. Or as super-modern futuristic device if you are working on modern electronic music.
  • If your display doesn’t have a high resolution, you can make the plugin smaller. If the fonts are too small, you can make the plugin bigger and save your eyes.
  • All the graphics is accelerated using your GPU, graphical interface, providing ultimately quick response and keep your CPU focused on the audio.

Unique Visualisation Engine with Classic Meters and Time Graphs

  • Your ears should always be the main judge, but a smart metering system can often be a huge help. MPowerSynth provides the most advanced metering system out there. The plugin can display the measurements of all relevant values using classic meters, or it can even show them in time using the time graphs. Everything is customisable as usual.

Modulators

  • MPowerSynth provides 8 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR enveloper, randomiser or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin’s side-chain.
  • You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.

Adjustable Oscillator Shape Technology

  • Every oscillator in MPowerSynth uses the most versatile oscillator algorithm on the market. It provides mix of predefined oscillator shapes, custom waveforms edited using our MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES), a step-sequencer and several methods for algorithmic post-processing.
  • It also provides a harmonic mode, which lets you control the harmonic content instead of oscillator shape. This is especially useful for high frequency oscillators.

Multiparameters

  • MPowerSynth lets you control multiple parameters using a single so-called multiparameter. This may not only come handy for automation for example, but the multiparameters are very smart units and you can use them to smartly morph between banks of settings for example. All in the name of creativity!System Requirements

Smart Randomisation

  • Being creative is sometimes complicated and one often needs an inspiration. By clicking a single button you can walk through the billions of possible settings and find the best one for you. The smart randomisation algorithm wisely selects good sounding combinations of parameters. It can even randomise modulators for you. And if that’s too much, you can just hold ctrl and MPowerSynth will just slightly modify existing settings.

Automatic Gain Compensation (AGC)

  • Most plugins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not mentioning randomisation. MPowerSynth includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.

Safety Limiter

  • Some plugins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MPowerSynth provides a safety brick wall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.

Sync Interpolation

  • MPowerSynth implements the most advanced interpolation technology to provide the best audio quality.

Adjustable Up-Sampling 1x-16x

  • Digital audio provides very superior audio quality compared to ancient analog gear, but there are problems too. The main problem is the aliasing, which may be noticeable, when using nonlinear processes such as compression or saturation. MPowerSynth includes both minimum-phase and high-quality linear-phase upsampling algorithms, which avoids the aliasing.

Synchronisation to Host Tempo

  • Every oscillator and modulator in the plugin can automatically synchronise to the host. But it can be out-of-sync if you want of course.

MIDI Controllers with MIDI Learn

  • MPowerSynth contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listen to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and control any parameters realtime.

64-bit Processing and an Unlimited Sampling Rate

  • MPowerSynth provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. It does not make much sense to go over 192kHz, but if you think it is a good idea, the plugin can do that.

Extremely Fast, Optimised for Newest AVX Capable Processors

  • Computers are now extremely fast, but the algorithms are more complex and projects bigger, so we still need to use the processing power with care. MPowerSynth uses the fastest algorithms, takes advantage of the newest processor capabilities, lets your GPU handle the graphics, and shares the resources with other MeldaProduction plugins. The plugin is among the fastest on the market, yet it provides the best possible audio quality.

Global Preset Management and Online Preset Exchange

  • MPowerSynth presets are carefully stored in a system database and you can quickly access them from any project in any host. The plugin can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers. We are building a community and you can be a part of it!

Supports VST, VST3, AU and AAX Interfaces on Windows & Mac, both 32-bit and 64-bit

  • MPowerSynth supports all major hosts on both platforms. Check system requirements for information about compatibility and installation.

No Dongle nor Internet Access is Required for Activation

  • How many times did you forget your USB dongle? We are an honest company and expect the same from our customers. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. And the licences are to-person, so you can use it on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Windows

  • Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • VST / VST3 / AAX compatible host (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • Intel/AMD processor with SSE2 support
  • Always use 32-bit plugins in 32-bit hosts, or 64-bit plugins in 64-bit hosts!

64-bit plugins can’t work in 32-bit hosts even if the operating system is 64-bit. Do NOT use 32-bit plugins in 64-bit hosts. They would have to be bridged and can become slow and unstable

MAC

  • Mac OS X (10.7 and newer, 32-bit or 64-bit)
  • VST / VST3 / AU / AAX compatible host (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • Intel/AMD processor with SSE2 support

AU note: in some hosts, the GUI is not shown for the first time, if so, then please just restart the host.

Syndt

A versatile, morphable polyphonic synthesizer

Syndt is a high-quality polyphonic synthesizer with a lot of possibilities. The oscillator waveform can be morphed between pure sine to pure square and supports altering of pulse width. Both the shape and pulse width can be modulated by two independent LFOs.

With fine-tuned low pass and high pass filters combined with a separate filter attack setting, (optionally based on velocity) this synth can create some raw and interesting sounds.

The additional LFO can be shaped exactly as the oscillator, and optionally controls filters, gain, and pitch (using a modulation wheel or just automatically). This LFO can be synchronized to an AUv3 host.

Globally there’s a nice stereo chorus, ping pong stereo delay (that also can sync to an AUv3 host’s BPM), and EQ.

  • 1. Oscillator – This XY Pad sets the wave shape. X-axis: pulse width (pure sine to the left, short pulse width to the right). Y-axis: morphs between pure sine and square.
  • 2. Mini LFO:s & Filters – These sliders affect the oscillator’s values. These LFOs only output pure sinewaves. If the NOTE ON SYNC is ticked, the LFO will be reset on a new note. If not, it will keep ongoing. HP & LP Filters with separate resonance control.
  • 3. LFO – A powerful LFO that can affect filters, gain & pitch.
  • 4. ADSR – Controls the Attack time, Decay time, Sustain Level and Release time of the voice.
  • 5. Special effect – A very competent delay section, a chorus, EQ & more.

Features

  • 70+ professionally made presets
  • XY pad based oscillator and LFO (PWM on the X-axis and morphs between sine and square on the Y-axis)
  • Independent mini-LFO (sine only) for each axis of the oscillator XY-pad.
  • LP / HP filter with resonance
  • LP Filter can be velocity-sensitive
  • LP Filter has an optional attack time
  • LFO can affect LP filter, HP filter, gain level, and pitch
  • LFO has an optional attack time
  • LFO can be synchronized with an AUv3 host (AUv3 mode only!)
  • Ping pong delay
  • Stereo Chorus
  • Three-band EQ
  • Legato mode with glide speed parameter
  • Pitch bend range
  • macOS 10.10 or later (optimized for the M1-processor)
  • Windows 7 SP1 or later
