Fathom Vector Released

[Halonmusic]

I hear nothing special in that video. Sounds like regular waveshaping to me

Well, if it is the most advanced oscillator ever developed, I guess a couple of days is not enough to squeeze the very best out of it.

[FathomSynth]

Scrubbing Monkeys, Thanks for posting that.

I will change Fathom so it reports if your system can support AVX even if it is not the AVX release.

Edit: OK All PayPal refunds have been issued.

Thanks everyone who has purchased Fathom Vector.

If I missed anyone let me know.

I love the metamorphic OSC, wave-shaping on steroids.
Excellent for Goa, DnB and Tekno type stuff imo.

OK, so I just bought the 3.0 Pro upgrade and sent an E-Mail with the confirmation of the Pro purchase from a year ago to get the password and hopefully also the AVX update. I did not forward the UPDATE purchase confirmation, I'm guessing it can be matched with the E-Mail...

Edit: OK that was quick. Have the AVX version up and running. Thanks. Very glad I ended up ahead of the turtle IQ wise. Was a bit worried.

[FathomSynth]

LMAO, Yes, if you are really advanced you can graduate from Turtle to Rabbit.

There is a Squirrel option, but no one has ever been able to reach that level yet.

RPH, so awesome to see you still here. Glad you are liking the Metamorphic.
So many of your presets are still in the final product.
Maybe make me some Metamorphic presets if you get a chance.

But it is the AVX Parallel Processing I wanted to test. Whether it works well with my (Intel) CPU. If I buy Vector and it doesn't get along with my CPU, I have a problem...

I'm not swimming in money so I could buy every 125 $ synth just to test it. There are such wealthy people here at KVR who can but many cannot.

If you need to find out whether your CPU offers AVX support, please use CPU-Z https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
It's a little utility offering information about your system. Find attached example of my system -> Box labled "Instructions" contains "AVX" and "AVX2" in my case. I doubt that Intel has been producing CPUs without AVX since years ... Anyway, use CPU-Z to find out for your system.

Thanks for this advice!

It shows AVX2, too, so I'm happy and will test the new Fathom Mono in the next weeks as soon as I learnt my new DAW Cakewalk by Bandlab and then decide whether and when to buy Vector.

I always follow development and am a beta tester of course.
Yes, the functions available to tweak the waveform is truly amazing. Never seen a synth offer this amount, it takes a while to truly understand it all.

Nice to know my presets are still good enough in your product.
I have a couple of new presets made already, from the beta test period and trying out the final release.
Need to check if they are actually useful for everyone tho, when finished I'll definitely mail them to you for review.

It may send you nuts trying haha

[FathomSynth]

Yes, I always liked your presets, go ahead and send new ones when you are ready and I will include them in the product.

Thanks everyone who purchased Fathom Vector. It is a huge help to the project.

because the dev says so? Zeta+, Audjoo Helix, hell even Sonic Lion Nitrox which is free can do what this 'most advanced oscillator' does years ago.

That's hilarious....
I guess all oscillators that have adjustable parameters are kinda waveshapers and probably sound similar depending on the shape of the wave. The cool thing about Fathom's Metamorphic Oscillator to me is.....the multitude of easily accessible parameters that you can manipulate. Sometimes we know what we want and sometimes happy accidents happen. I am now presented with a pallet in which the possibility for happy accidents has increased exponentially

[FathomSynth]

Those oscillators can not do what the Metamorphic Oscillator does.

The Metamorphic has full screen wavedraw. My variable radius wavedraw smoothing algorithm does not exist in any other synthesizer.

It has full screen Bezier with unlimited segments and four different kinds of segments. Line, Exponential, Bezier, Double Bezier, Dynamic Sin Oscillation.

The sin oscillation algorithm is original and does not exist in any other synth.

The Metamorphic has three different types of phase doubling, up to four phasing threads per detune voice, Normal Phase doubling, Phase Drift, and Cycle Precision Phase Lock doubling with nonlinear modulation on all three of those algorithms, which definitely does not exist in any other synthesizer.

It has a 128 partial spectrum with an unlimited segment Bezier curve superimposed on top of the spectrum. No other synth has that.

It has skip cycle processing on all the oscillator wave shaping pages. No other synth has that. As a matter of fact no other synthesizer even knows what Fathom's skip cycle processing even does let alone offer it on every shaping function.

It has my own algorithm for harmonic and random frequency distortion and that particular algorithm does not exist in any other synth.

The realtime noise algorithm I am using does not exist in any other synthesizer.

The chop algorithm I am using does not exist in any other synthesizer.

The double impulse algorithm does not exist in any other synthesizer.

It has double max partial control with partial modulation and skip cycle processing on the dual partial modulation which sure as hell does not exist in any other synthesizer and not even in the remotest imagination of any engineer working for any other synthesizer.

It has a Guassian filter built into the oscillator which does alias free raw partial modulation in the pure frequency domain with pure mathematical control of the cutoff, resonance, pass band, slope, width, key track and sample quality of the Gaussian filter, which certainly does not exist in any other synthesizer or even in anyone else's dreams for that matter.

It has a built in five algorithm voltage ripple function with control over ripple frequency, shift, pulse width, acceleration, expansion, multiply, relative amplitudes and skip cycle control of the ripple function independent of the same controls for the master waveform, which sure as hell does not exist in any other synthesizer. And none of my five ripple algorithms themselves even exist in any other synthesizer.

There are more parameters in that oscillator that don't exist anywhere else than there are that do.

And EVERY single parameter listed above is displayed in the real time oscillator graph which is updated every microsecond when you run or modulate the oscillator.

And ALL of the above functions are implemented in both the C++ code AND the Intel AVX Parallel Processor code for the oscillator.

Halonmusic, Please don't troll in here with a vague knowledge in your mind of some other synth page with dials on it that look generally like some of the dials on Fathom and make statements like that with no information when you have not the slightest clue what you are talking about.

[Halonmusic]

I do a a clue. Have you ever tried zeta+ or audjoo helix, Also zebra/zebralette ? you say this oscillator of yours is THE most advanced oscillator ever. Thats a bald claim. I want proof of that. I'm not trying to be rude here but i've seen developers say this before. I will stay out of this thread for now. I dont want this to turn out ugly.

[vurt]

(bold claim. unless you are saying his claim is hairless?)
