Alpha 3 is the sum of all our experience in synthesizer manufacturing. Focussed on the essential modules of an analogue synthesizer Alpha 3 offers true hands on operation. Everything is where you would expect it, nothing is more complex as it needs to be. Nothing is less powerfull as it needs to be. Alpha 3 is the sum of all our experience in synthesizer manufacturing.
Alpha 3 will allow Frequency Modulation of the Filters Cutoff, a feature that you can only find in very few Synthesizers. The source of the Filter FM can be any oscillator, even noise. Together with the Ringmodulator which can be gradually morphed from pure Oscillator 2 over Amplitude-Modulation to Ring-Modulation this is a guaratee for some of very finest and most excotic sounds a classic subtractive synth can produce
Alpha 3 has two oscillators with each producing a continuously adjustable mix of 2 from 30 waveforms. Taking into account that both basic waveform can have a different pitch already allows for thousands of resulting waveforms. But dont worry, our concept of handling is dead easy, pick the waveforms and adjust the mix.
Just when you get tired about the many over-complex synthesizers of today, when you want to return to the roots, the beginning of all synthetic sound, the times when a Synthesizer could be fully programmed, then the Alpha 3 is the right synthesizer for you. Get the synth that you can control. Completely.
Here are some key features of "Alpha 3":
AU and VST plug-in instrument for Mac and PC
2 Oscillators with numerous waveforms
PWM (symmetry of all waveforms modulatable)
Switchable freerun for both oscillators
Extended Ringmodulation (modulatable Off-AM-RM)
Noise Oscillator
Spread (5 detuned oscillators per voice, adjustable)
Rich sounding multimode filter with saturation
dedicated filter ADSFR envelope
Amplifier section with dedicated ADSFR envelope
7 slot Modulation Matrix, 19 sources, 18 destinations
3 individual LFOs with tweakable attack time, speed (syncable), multiple shapes, switchable freerun
Portamento / Glide with various modes
adjustable Chorus, no other effects (intentionally)
Adjustable analogness
Global tuning and Microtonal support
Powerfull ECS (MIDI learn for almost all Controllers)
sample accurate processing, total recall
all controls automatable
direct access to all banks and presets
32 voice polyphonic (adjustable), true mono mode
Requirements:
AU or VST2.0 capable host software.
Alpha itself requires about 8 Mb memory only (first instance, 2 Mb for all additional instances).
Screen resolution of 1024 x 768
400 MHz
256 Mb
Limitations:
The only restriction that applies to demo versions is that they emit a noise about once every minute
