SynekDC is a simple FM synthesiser
which uses a single algorithm and routing configuration
to produce a variety of sounds. There are 40 presets
included with SynekDC, which demonstrate a range of
sounds from familiar FM electric piano timbres, to brash
ear-splitters via percussive tones and gently moving
pads.
It offers
16 voice polyphony
2 competing Frequency Modulation sources
(Modulator and Vibrato)
a feedback control
simple tube emulation
bandpass filtering
an amplitude modulator
a chorus effect.
The bandpass filter dispenses with
the traditional envelope paradigm in favour of a
roving centrepoint which travels from a static point
to meet a keypress at a specified speed, then
returns home after all keys are released. This gives
a different feel and set of timbre variations to
other synth palettes.
