Immediately informative real-time visual feedback on the partials and their playback is provided by the 2D Spectrum and 3D Motion Views. Level modulation of all partials together over time is drawn into the Motif Editor, while the Sweep, Attractor, Deform and Drift effects warp, bend and generally reshape them collectively and individually. Harmonic movement and dynamics are introduced to the signal using a powerful arsenal of fractal-inspired Motion processors. You can clearly see that it is a Reaktor instrument because the GUI is not very nice.

The noise generator, meanwhile, can be overdriven for extra grit. In the latest Reaktor 6 Discoveries episode, I looked at Atmorph, an experimental additive FM Synthesizer from the Native Instruments Reaktor User Library. The oscillator offers three methods by which to generate and edit a base harmonic spectrum: simple analogue waveform emulation, knob-driven stochastic microtuning, and detailed graphical control of 32 partial groups.

Polyphylla uses mathematical models, based on shapes and phenomena in nature, to create sounds that change organically over time.Īt the heart of the synth is a flexible 120-partial additive oscillator coupled to an analogue-style noise generator, each with its own multimode filter. a new Max for Live eight-voice additive synthesizer. Developer Mei-Fang let us know about Polyphylla.
