Overview
Synthractiveis a stereo subtractive synthesizer. Tones are created by
subtracting unwanted frequencies, usually harmonics,
attenuated by a filter to alter the timbre of the sound.
Dialing in a combination of parameters from the oscillators,
LFOs, amplitude and filter envelopes, will determine the
tone and shape of the sound, which allows to sculpt a wide
range of sonic texture.
It can be used to create
spacey pads, synth leads, keys,
basses,
sequences, atmospheric textures, ambient soundscapes and
sound effects.
Features a collection of 40 presets suitable for many genres
and styles of music and flexibility to custom design over a
diverse sonic palette. Available as an instrument plugin in
VST and VST3 64 bit versions for Windows, as well as in
Audio Unit for
macOS.
Features
Two
Oscillators. Each one
features a fine-tuning, pulse width and level parameters, as well as the
following selectors:
Waveform. Selector to
switch between sine, sawtooth, ramp, triangle, pulse, white noise and
pink noise waveforms.
Octave.
Selector to specify octaves above or below the
current octave.
Note.
Selector to switch between 0 to 11 semitones.
Filter Section. A state variable filter with the
following parameters:
Filter Cutoff. Adjusts the frequency range to
contour the sound, add or regulate brightness.
Filter Resonance. Slightly emphasize or
suppress portions of the signal above or below the defined color/tone
frequency.
Keyboard Tracking. The Key Tracking knob position subtly
modulates the cutoff frequency.
Filter Type. Switches the filter between lowpass, highpass,
bandpass, or band-rejection filter types, offering a simple and
effective tone control to shape and color the sound source.
Filter Envelope. This section provides control of the filter cutoff
frequency over time, with ADSR parameters: attack time, decay time, sustain
level, release time plus a level knob that defines the envelope overall
level.
Amplitude Envelope. This section controls the
volume or amplitude of the sound with independent control over each ADSR
stage:
Attack: determines the time it takes for the
note to get to the maximum level.
Decay: determines the time it takes for the
note to go from the maximum level to the sustain level (controlled by
sustain).
Sustain: determines the level of the sound is
played at while the note is held (after the other envelope states,
attack and decay, have been completed).
Release: determines the time it takes for the
note to fall from the sustain level to zero (silence) level when it is
released.
Level: It defines the amplitude envelope
overall level.
Two Low-Frequency Oscillators. These parameters apply LFO modulation
of various aspects of the audio signal to apply effects such as vibrato or
tremolo.
LFO Rate: Controls gradual changes to the pitch of notes or the
filter cutoff frequency.
LFO Depth: Controls the amplitude of the LFO. With a lower setting,
the resulting modulation is subtle, while a higher depth will result in a
much more extreme effect.
The following parameter settings adds motion or variability to sounds:
Waveform. Selector to switch between sine, sawtooth, ramp, triangle,
pulse, white noise and pink noise waveforms.
Source. Combo box to switch between LFO 1, LFO 2, Filter Envelope,
Velocity, Aftertouch and Modulation Wheel.
Destination. Selector to switch between Cutoff, Pulse Width, Pitch
and Volume modulation.
Invert. Sets the LFO shape to be a positive or negative envelope. Off
applies a positive envelope shape. On applies a negative envelope shape.
Stereo Reverb effect.
Ambience spread brings a sense of spatial depth and width to sound, from
small to huge sounding spaces.
Stereo Delay effect.
Stores the input signal and plays it back after a certain amount of time,
creating from a subtle echo to a pronounced blending of previous sounds with
new sounds.
Improves the stereo image by adding a slight delay
to one of the channels.
Parameters includes:
Time. Modulation to
vary the delay time dynamically.
Feedback.
Regeneration of delay.
Preset Manager. Built-in
browser to load and save presets and banks, enabling to export to *.fxp
(VST2 Preset), *.fxb (VST2 Bank), *.vstpreset (VST3 Preset), *.aupreset
(Audio Unit Preset) plus two generic formats (plain text): the *.xmlpreset
(XML Preset) and the *.xmlbank (XML Bank), providing cross-platform
presets/banks. This allows to control over the loading and saving of presets
from disk as well as sharing presets between different plugin formats using
the generic *.xmlpreset (XML Preset) and the *.xmlbank (XML Bank).

Before installing any VST, VST3 or Audio
Units plug-ins, please make sure your computer meets the
following requirements. Please test the
demo version of this product
extensively on your host to make sure there are no
problems before
purchasing.
Windows operating system: Windows 11, Windows 10,
Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 64 bit.
