Klevgrand Tomofon Now MPE
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

This unique virtual instrument introduces a new “Audio Model” format, capable of containing thousands of waves extracted from ordinary audio files. These waves – and how they’re structured – lays the ground for how Tomofon generates audio, resulting in a highly flexible and instantly expressive instrument. On one hand it can sound very organic, even lifelike, and on the other, like something out of this world. Whether you want to play around with the Audio Model Starter Pack (instruments & voices) and factory 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.

What’s New

Version 1.2.0

– Support for MPE keyboards: for hardware, AUv3 and the built-in keyboard in the standalone app!
– Added a Body parameter that simulates different instrument bodies and materials
– Added filter types (now there is LP, HP, BP in both 12 db/oct and 24 db/oct)
– Zoom and Scroll functionality in Audio Model Editor
– Controller sources (and MPE state) can be locked so they won’t change when loading a new preset
– Custom tunings support (opens .tun files)
– Pitch Zone graphical representation are now rendered inside the curve tool
– Various bug fixes and improvements

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.

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.

Tomofon comes pre-loaded with a pack of 124 Audio Models based on high quality audio recordings of multiple expressions. These models includes several instruments like strings, vocals, brass, woodwind, guitars and more. Along with these models there are over 180 presets to get you going right away. From there on you can venture further and start creating Audio Models based on your own audio files and experiment on the types of sounds they can grow to be.

Features

– Wide selection of factory presets and Audio Models
– Integrated audio sample importer and Audio Model editor
– Pitch and (layer) depth envelopes that can be edited by the user
– Envelope times can be controlled separately 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

ButterSynth iPad Synth

ButterSynth is a hybrid 6-oscillator synthesizer with a vast sonic range, from gentle pads to screaming leads and basslines. It’s like Serum for the iPad and iPhone.

ButterSynth is a hybrid 6-oscillator wavetable/FM/sample-based AUV3 and standalone synthesizer with a vast sonic range, from gentle pads to screaming leads and basslines.

Mix any combination of wavetable, FM, sample and other synthesis engines for one truly massive sound.

For the more advanced users, you’ll love using ButterSynth’s thoughtfully designed interface, incredibly powerful modulation matrix, fully-featured internal FX rack, factory waveform and sample libraries, and almost limitless scope for fun, experimentation and sound design.

For less experienced synth programmers, ButterSynth includes a library of hundreds of ready-to-use presets, sparking your creativity to start making music right away.

Headline features include

– Mix and match any combination of 6 synthesis engines to either emulate your favourite synths of yester-year or build a synth ready for the future.

– Dual-wavetable engines also feature 9 phase modes, wave folding, and deep unison controls modelled on vintage hardware synths.

– Built-in wavetable editor gives you the ability to tweak, morph, and hand-draw your own custom wavetables, with each wavetable supporting up to 256 frames.

– FM engine offers 4 operators with a selection of 12 modulation paths. Each operator can be loaded with any waveform from the factory or user library, and can also self-modulate via the feedback dial.

– Sample and Granulator engines both let you load samples (either imported or from the factory library) and control precisely how they are chopped, triggered and layered. Both also feature the same powerful unison modes available in the WT engine.

– Highly configurable 32-slot modulation matrix featuring precise mix/max ranges, self-modulation (via the amount target), plus configurable response curves and layer modes. Simply long-tap any parameter to set it as a Mod destination!

– Full suite of versatile control sources which includes: 4x MSEG-style looping curve envelopes, 4x LFOs, 4x step sequencers, X/Y pad with motion recording, 8x Macro dials and a powerful arpeggiator inspired by Kirnu Interactive’s Cream.

– The EFX rack lets you build your own insert effects chain using any combination of the 16 built-in FX modules. Modules available at launch include delay, reverb, distortion, chorus, OTT compression etc. Note – FX parameters can also be targeted by the mod matrix, unlocking the possibility to program ‘per voice’ modulated effects.

– All presets, wavetables, samples and other settings are stored in the Files app, making bulk import/export, backup and community sharing quick and easy.

– All of this is housed in an irresistibly designed 4-tab UI that makes synth programming quick and fun.
