Elastic OSC is a synthesizer app based on the DSP code of the Mutable Instruments Plaits hardware oscillator module, one of the most beloved (and cloned) oscillator modules in the Eurorack modular scene.
Like the original, Elastic OSC comes with a wide variety of possible sounds, from analog-style, FM, and additive sounds to physical modeling, percussive, and even drum sounds.
Elastic OSC can be used in both monophonic and 8-voice polyphonic modes. You can play the app using the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard or sequencer inside your DAW of choice.
The app focuses on ease of use, featuring two XY pads for intuitive sound manipulation of the oscillator engine and the effects. Despite the simplicity of the clean interface, the sound possibilities are vast, thanks to 24 different oscillator models and the ability to automate parameter changes, as is possible in all Elastic apps released so far.
A versatile arpeggiator makes it easy to start with simple ideas or create entire sonic worlds.
Elastic OSC includes an integrated help system (tap “?”) that provides explanations for nearly every GUI element, the underlying DSP model, and most of the app’s functionality.

LFO Mix
The Mix view lets you blend multiple LFOs and define how strongly each active LFO influences a target parameter. The closer a target is placed to an LFO corner, the stronger its influence. All active LFOs always sum to 100% (for example: LFO1 50%, LFO2 30%, LFO3 20%).
