The Chinese harp demo really hari hari. Have to say my jaw dropped when I heard this one.. This is one awesome Sound making device, your also covering a lot of ground very quickly with it.. I also really like the earlier off beat sounds demo...

What I really notice is that even strecning the envelope of possiblities the sound remains clean and atracttive, does not get muddied as can happen with other form of synthesis..

But that's also up to the skill of the sounddesigner..


Very Educational to follow this thread, Enjoyable too..
waves break, but somehow it all makes sense.

Fantastic demo of the Chinese Harp sound. This is obviously going to be a must have bank. Nothing but incredible sounds so far.
Available on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

Actually, it IS Collision with some on-board effects and the ability to link the two sound generators. The latter seems like nothing special at first, but if you explore it a little, you can get sounds that are much more "organic" (for want of a better word) than Collision's.
Ahhhh that's why i found it very similar to Collision. Btw Collision also have the ability to link two sound generators. I just checked.

Anyway brutal synth (i mean both of them). Glad to see it standalone and not just as Ableton exclusive. Now we only need Corpus replacement as a VSTi from AAS :)

The linking is really very different (they call it coupling). Think of it as the two resonators playing off of each other, which will give you lots of interplay, overtones, etc. Collision can't do that.

It also means that sometimes the sound will go through the roof, as my poor ears learned to their detriment yesterday. As with any deep psychical modelling instrument, Chromaphone can get pretty nasty. ;)

Mona is a bit melancholic today as it's a grey rainy day towards the end of the year, so she surprised me with this little String Miracle - 1 instance of MonaChrome...

Mona, Paloma don't cry
there'll always be folks who ask why
do you sound all so pretty
but your GUI is so shitty
Oh Mona, Paloma don't cry :cry:

I Dl'ed demo and the presets there were not numerous and equated to me it was not worth $89. I think this is a $20-25 myself.

Does Chromaphone respond to pitch bend? Or am I missing something?

Nope, maybe soon if AAS doesn't forget to update this one before 2020...

Wait a couple days, then demo it again to see if it's worth $199. :shock:
It'll be known as Chromagouge then.
perception: the stuff reality is made of.

And hopefully, they will also see fit to implement MIDI learn in the same update, hopefully before 2012.

Praeterea censeo…

If it were easy, anybody could do it!

Condome should well be able to do some tines and rhodes stuff but LL isn't bad at what it's designed for...
I like the plucked strings in Cromulentone better than in String Studio too - but again they need to be bendable
Interesting. I love String Studio so I can't wait to hear what Bendaphone can do with its plucks and what not.

(I feel kinda privileged that my 'Chromosome' has been such a fertile ground for circuit bent names :hihi: )
Here's a couple of plucked patches I made - a nice steel string and a GuitarSitar thing:

What real percussion instruments can it reproduce?
Intel Core2 Quad CPU + 4 GIG RAM

Very nice, aMUSEd! I love the way this synth imparts natural complexity to simple textures. But on the whole it seems to be great for more delicate textures. I'd love to hear it do some big kickass stuff using natural skin models (for Taiko's, Bombo's, Indian drums, etc...); to me that's definitely something missing. Maybe I haven't dug deep enough...
