Amber (DCAM: Synth Squad)

DCAM: Synth Squad is a collection of 4 software instruments:

• Strobe: a performance synth - easy to program, begs to be played.
• Amber: a divide-down string ensemble synth emulation.
• Cypher: a complex 3-osc synth with dual filters/waveshapers and realistic audio-rate modulation.
• Fusor: a semi-modular layering/FX/step-sequencing environment for the above synths.

One of the first attempts to realistically model the divide-down string ensemble synths from the '70s, Amber captures the lush, psychedelic sound of these much-loved but often-forgotten instruments. A formant filter, 3 separate chorus models, a variety of playing responses and flexible modulation build upon the legacy to deliver a new take on these vintage classics.
