HYDi
- KVR Developer Challenge 201219th November 2012
HYDi can only
be described as one thing - Quirky.
Based on a simple 3xOsc subtractive synth workflow,
but with some twists. She has two voices - but is
not duophonic, and should be played like a monosynth.
She's built on a Don Buchla inspired philosophy -
"Uniqueness above all else". Built with more heart
than technology.
Main Features:
Generator 1 & 2 : 18x Different waveshapes/processes.
x-parameter: PW, Morph, Destable, etc. (when
available).
3 out of the 4 Envelopes has a "reset to
zero" option - as a bonus, but be careful - can
cause clicks - especially the DCA.
Main DCF - 11 types:(zero-delay-feedback)
LP12 A, LP12 B, LP18, LP24 A, LP24 B*,
LP6 (with resonance).
LP-LP, LP-BR, BP-LP, BP6, HP12.
*Original code by Teemu Voipio.
Small 4note Sequencer.
3x Play modes:
Mono (not really mono, but flip-voice
and release steal - didn't fit on the GUI).
Dual - not duophonic - similar to the
above - but release stages will overlap.
Unison - Actually as the name implies -
Voice2 can be delayed as well.
Effects:
2x Effects slots: Effects specially
designed/tweaked for HYDi:
Alfa Chorus - pretty unique under the
hood.
Dual BPM Delays .
Three Band Resonator - the synth EQ.
Digital Hell - Continuous Bit-Depth
Manipulation, SampleRate Reduction that
follows the highest note, OR bit-toggling
and finally sprinkled with "J1 shaper" a
Bessel function of the first kind.
Theta Flanger - Made to chill.
Polar Phaser - same as above.
SSB Frequency Shifter.
Early Reflections Generator - space,
without the reverb.
Modulation Reverb - simple - for big
chorused spaces.
Zero Modulation Reverb - exact opposite
of above, more "focused".
Transgate - simple 8x step gate - with a
choice for any two steps to have on
probability.
