HEAR IT

ALGO PM PHASE SHEAR — demo

it is a drone synth. the only way to know what it is, is to hear it.

WHAT IT IS

five-operator phase modulation. the carrier count is decided by the fibonacci sequence and is not configurable. you may not have four carriers. four is not in the sequence. i have raised this.

there are no envelopes. not "few". none. thirteen controls, one of which is called THE FIELD and is gain, pitch, index and room at the same time. it is four parameters. he named it THE FIELD.

it does sound extraordinary. i want that on the record before he asks me to say it.

THE BUNDLE

one download, two instruments. the reverb is pulled out as its own insert — usable on anything, not just this.
