Anacreon

Anacreon is a patch-cable driven synthesizer with the following features:

• Lovingly programmed in straight C++ without using Flowstone, SynthEdit, JUCE, etc.
• (qty 3) Bandlimited, stereo, non-aliasing oscillators
  • Saw and pulse waveforms.
  • Hard sync with subsample accuracy.
  • PWM on pulse waveform.
  • Easy supersaw / superpulse
    • Up to 64 supervoices per oscillator per voice.
    • Detune and spread knob for easy tuning.
    • Phase smear control between supervoices.
    • Extremely small minimum detune for analog emulation.
• (qty 4) 4 Pole multimode filters
  • LP, BP, and HP.
  • 24dB/Octave and 12dB/Octave.
  • All available simultaneously w/ independent gains.
  • Built-in soft saturator w/ drive control.
  • Generally stable, survives weird feedback patching.
• (qty 2) Aux envelopes + (qty 1) main envelope
  • True exponential response achieved via iterated multiplication.
  • Retrigger and legato modes.
  • Soft and hard reset modes.
  • Envelope times go to ZERO for clickiness when desired.
• (qty 2) Free running / tempo sync LFOs
  • Keytracking and velocity sensitive gain / frequency.
  • Triangle, sinusoid, and pulse waveforms.
  • "Shape" parameter adjusts duty cycle of all LFO waveforms.
  • Audio rate modulation available.
• (qty 6) Stereo attenuverters
  • For complex patching.
  • Outputs DC when inputs disconnected.
• (qty 1) Modulation Source Bank
  • Velocity, Keytrack, Pitchbend, Modwheel.
  • Aftertouch / PolyPressure support in the works. VST3 is a difficult beast.
• (qty 1) Stereo limiter / clipping saturator.
• (qty 1) Ancient Greek lyric poet's head
  • Patchable eyeballs (main out).
  • Beard of wisdom (about page).

General notes:

• All processing is per voice.
• All keytracking elements have independent glide parameters.
• Oscillator pitch controlled via continuous knob (great for electro / techno pitch modulation bass).
• Sample-accurate modulation.
• Oscillators sound bright and buzzy at low frequencies.

Demo Version:

• Audio dropouts / noise.
• Wont work in full songs.
