User Interface |
- Waveform and spectral visualization of output sound, updated in realtime as you edit
- Most workflow concentrated on single page
- Immediate preview of menu content (meshes, shapes, envelopes) on hover
- Resizing of entire UI as well as of internal panels
- 'Player' UI mode for quick loading and minimal memory usage
- Helpful mouseover messages and usage hints in console
- OpenGL acceleration for high graphic performance
- Standalone application provided in addition to plugin, for easier content creation
- Knobs and sliders tuned for greatest sensitivity in the most useful ranges
- Immediately hear results of editing (to waveshapes, spectrum, impulses, etc) on playing notes
|
Sound Generation |
- Waveform, magnitude, and phase surfaces
- Unlimited mesh layers per surface
- Per-layer panning
- Either additive or multiplicative nature (for magnitude layers)
- Dynamic range adjustment (for magnitude and phase layers)
- Easy formant filtering
- Up to 16x oversampling for waveform-layers
- Up to 2048 harmonics processed per cycle, covering completely the audible range
|
Editing Workflow |
- Intelligent vertex selection / deselection
- Smart line creation logic helps minimize work
- Collision detection for lines to prevent unwanted overlapping
- Line path deforming for irregular paths, for any of the following parameters: time, phase, amplitude, and curve sharpness
- Destructive editing operations: slice, connect, merge, extrude, delete
- Undo history for all destructive edits
- Non-destructive tools: group select, move, vertical & horizontal stretch
- Simply drag on curve to adjust sharpness
- Free-form drawing tool for creating new paths or for snap existing vertices to
- Wave-file loading, pitch tracking, and rendering for easy modelling reference

Waveshape Curve Design |
- Meticulously crafted for audio purpose
- For waveshapes, curve has cyclical symmetry to prevent discontinuities
- All standard waveshapes are easy to create with few points
- Sharpness of curve is adjustable at any vertex
- Very smooth―in technical terms, the curve has a minimum of C^3 continuity
- High locality―curve is affected only by closest 2 vertices, so is intuitive to work with
|
Effects |
