Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Votan Telepathy

Votan Telepathy v2.0 is a groundbreaking multi-purpose synthesis engine, harnessing cutting edge technologies with traditional sound sculpting techniques. The power beneath Votan Telepathy is its cloud and communication platform within which you can create sounds and instantly share between your devices (iPad/iPhone/Mac), or even with friends.

The Votan Telepathy Synthesis Engine is also available as an 32/64 bit Audio Unit plugin. The iOS app can then act as an ultra low latency touch controller for multiple instances of the synth in your favourite DAW (Logic, Ableton etc). You can create new sounds on your iPad/iPhone, that magically appear in the Audio Unit to be used in a professional DAW environment.

What’s New in Version 2.0

** We’ve given Votan Telepathy a full service and upgrade to v2.0 **

New Features:
– Hyper Oscillators
– Noise Oscillators
– Extra Filter Types
– Refined Modulation Matrix now with 8 slots, new destinations to all synth/fx parameters.
– New FX Types – FrequencyShifter, Reverb, Flange, Destroy, Buffer Glitch
– New Delay Types
– New Perform Assign
– iPhone Version

** Old presets from v1.5 do NOT load into new engine **

Votan Telepathy iOS Synth

*Oscillators:
4 x Free Range Oscillators
– Band-limited Virtual Analogue waveforms. Free-range means they can be unlocked from key frequencies, and then used intelligently as audio rate modulators for FM and Ring Modulation. You can also morph between the different wave-shapes (Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Square).
– Hyper Oscillators with up to 7 x Detuned Saw/Square waves.
– 3 x Noise Oscillators (White, Pink and Purple).

*Filters:
4 x Multi-filters
– Virtual Analog(Moog Ladder, MS20, TB303 emulations)
– Digital IIR and Formant Phase filters
– 2/4 Pole with standard filter types

– Fade in envelope
– Note-on trigger

*Envelopes:
4 x Envelopes
– ADSR & Filter envelope
– 2 x assignable envelopes.
– Note on trigger.

*Modulation:

– Modulate Slot amount.

*FX:
– 4 x FX Slots

*Performance Control:
8 x controls with direct assignment of ALL parameters for in-depth performance control.
User assignable Keyboard with key selector(select the keys you need to play, not the rest)

*Binaural Beat Generator:
Votan Telepathy has been built with binaural synthesis in mind. You can assign each oscillator to play through Left or Right channels to create binaural beats with extended synthesis capabilities. The system can create all brain frequencies from 0.01hz up to megahertz. Get experimenting with the invisible frequencies of the mind.

*Votan Telepathy Audio Unit:
Votan Telepathy is also available an 32/64 bit AudioUnit and is a direct mirror of the iOS app and fully compatible with all presets. Your preset library is synced over all devices and apps.
Imagine the power of being able to create new soundscapes on your iDevice, then they magically appear in the DAW work session. Tweak sounds on the fly, then polish them into your productions.

*Votan Connect:
The iOS app of course can also act as a touch controller for the audio unit offering almost zero latency control of multiple instances of the audio unit plugin. Totally integrated synthesis and control like never seen before.

*Votan Cloud:
The Votan Cloud is a powerful integrated Preset Management System. Users can create soundscapes and store them in their own device or in the Votan Cloud. In the Votan Cloud patches can be instantly shared with other users. The VotanDSP team will be in constant creation of new sounds so they will be instantly available for all users of the system. You can chose to make your preset library public or private.

iPad 4+ recommended for iOS synthesis.
iPad 2+ for controlling the Audio Unit.

Magellan iPad Synthesizer

One of my absolute favorite synths for iOS just got even better. The “spawn” feature in this synth is wicked. It allows you to create new patches through a randomize process. The spawn feature is improved in this version and expanded.

Wooji Juice Mitosynth Vector Synthesis
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Wooji Juice Mitosynth

Mitosynth takes the concept of vector synthesis from the past and bring it into the future by placing sounds in a “wave chamber”.

Mitosynth takes a simple approach: With a tap, almost any dial can be switched out for a graph with automation controls, including LFOs, 5-stage DADSR envelopes, ingenious noise generator, step sequencer, BPM sync — and MIDI, of course. Plus XY pads for the hands-on approach.

And you can combine them. Use one automation to control which (or how much) of two others affect a setting. Many of the automation controls are themselves automatable. You can repeat this, going to deeper levels. LFOception!

The flexible FX chain means no messing with complicated routing tables, or stringing cables around until your screen looks like a plate of pasta: Slot the distortion, filter, delay and other effects you want, in the order you want. Simple!

Pick from 140 built-in patches — or design your own. Start with additive synthesis, wavetables, or a sophisticated mix. Add rich modulation, effects and filters, controlled by powerful LFOs and beyond. Make vibrant leads, vast soundscapes, compelling basses, warm bath or deep sea pads, and so much more.

Quick List of Things You Might Want To Know Mitosynth Supports:

• Core MIDI • Virtual MIDI • Background Audio • Audiobus • Inter-App Audio • AudioCopy/Paste • AudioShare • Dropbox • Performance Recording • iCloud Drive • Universal App • Enhanced for iPhone 6/6+ screens

Also features:

• Filters, crushers, distortion, warm fuzz, flanger, phaser, echo, tube resonance and chorus. Install up to four in any order — plus a high-quality reverb

• AM, PWM, Phase Mangulation, Supercharger unison mode

• Mono and Polyphonic glide, and Regular, Toggle and Latch sustain, customisable keyboard

• Slick patch and audio management with search and tagging

• Easily share patches with friends, including any additional audio they require

• Complete manual built-in, and available for download too
