Sampleson has released Things, an easy to use synthesizer based on visual references. Things implements what they called "Descriptors" which are objects and ideas that help you understand the effect of a knob and the kind of sound it will create.
Sampleson says: "Creating professional synthesized sounds is a hard task. Programing a complex synthesizer is not for everyone. We propose a solution to everyday Synth needs. THINGS allows you to create hi-quality synth sounds even if you have zero experience in synthesis"
This is the list of Descriptors, all of them can be accessed via MIDI CC or automated in your DAW:
- Rubber Bands: Real-time parameters: Gum amount, Time, Gain and Character.
