Funxion: The Synthesizer Where Your Imagination Creates Sound
Discover Funxion by Xenobioz – a hybrid synthesizer that gives you unprecedented control over your sound. Funxion’s key advantage is the ability to define oscillator waveforms and distortion characteristics using mathematical functions. It’s a tool for bold experimentation and the creation of truly unique timbres that go beyond standard synthesis.
Funxion is ideal for musicians and sound engineers looking for new sound palettes and a tool for in-depth sound design. It combines programming flexibility with the rich functionality of a traditional synthesizer.
Unique Waveform Shaping and Oscillators
At the heart of Funxion are three oscillators. Each can generate both standard virtual-analog waveforms and use mathematical functions you define to create your own, unique forms. This allows you to create sounds that are impossible to obtain in any other way.
In addition, the oscillators support:
- FM: For creating complex, harmonically rich sounds.
- Sync: For punchy, aggressive timbres.
- Morphing modes: For smooth transitions between waveforms, adding movement and dynamics.
This combination of features makes the oscillator section an incredibly powerful tool for creativity.
Advanced Modulation Capabilities
To breathe life into your timbres, Funxion offers a comprehensive set of modulation sources:
- 3 LFOs: For cyclical modulation of any parameters.
- 3 ADSRs: Envelopes with Keytracking function, which adapts the envelope time to the note’s pitch, making the performance more expressive.
- Randomizer: Add an element of randomness that can change values constantly or with each key press.
Flexible Sound Processing
After the oscillator and modulation sections, the sound passes through the filtering and saturation stages:
- Multi-Mode Filter: 13 different filter types give you complete control over the timbral color of the sound.
- Distortion with Custom Functions: Like oscillators, distortion allows you to define the nature of the overload using mathematical functions. This opens the door to creating unique, individual distortion effects that you won’t find anywhere else.
Time-Based Effects
Funxion has two Delay sections:
- First Delay: Designed for physical modeling and FX.
- Second Delay: General purpose, can be modulated to create a variety of spatial and modulation effects.
Over 250 Presets
For a quick start and inspiration, 256 high-quality presets are available, demonstrating the synthesizer’s capabilities in different genres.
Funxion is a tool for those who want to go beyond conventional synthesis. Its unique ability to define sound with functions makes it indispensable for creating experimental timbres, complex textures, and individual sound. Available as a VST plugin for Windows.
