The era has come when sound is not just heard, but seen and felt in space! Introducing Spiral Generator – an unusual synthesizer from the talented Soundemote team, which opens the door to the world of three-dimensional sound, inspired by the aesthetics of oscillographic music. It’s not just an instrument, but a whole audio-visual universe in your DAW.
Spiral Generator is a real breakthrough for musicians and sound engineers looking for unique timbres and experimental approaches to music creation. Its key feature is the use of a fractal spiral algorithm, developed personally by the pioneer of oscillographic music, Jerobeam Fenderson. This algorithm generates a visually stunning spiral that is infinitely scalable. By modulating the “Morph” parameter, you can travel through this fractal landscape, exploring limitless sound textures and evolving timbres.
The Heart of the Plugin: Fractal Spiral
At the heart of Spiral Generator lies a unique algorithm that creates a captivating fractal spiral. It’s not just a visualization; it directly affects sound generation, allowing you to generate sounds that dynamically change along with the visual representation. The “Morph” parameter becomes your guide in this infinite sound space, allowing you to make smooth or sharp transitions between completely different but interconnected states of sound.
Opportunities for Creativity
This synthesizer offers exceptional flexibility for shaping your unique sound. All Spiral Generator parameters are fully automated, giving you full control over the dynamics and evolution of sound throughout your track. You can easily create a variety of timbres, from soft and flowing to aggressive and broken.
It is especially worth noting the ability of Spiral Generator to generate expressive “vocal basses” – timbres that are perfect for electronic music, adding a unique texture and aggression to your bass foundation. In addition, the plugin allows you to infinitely rotate the visual and sound spiral using the “RotY” and “RotX” parameters, opening up additional dimensions for modulation and performance.
For experimenters and effect creators, the “ZAmount” parameter introduces an element of chaotic feedback. This is the perfect tool for creating interesting soundscapes, glitch effects, and completely unpredictable sound mutations, making Spiral Generator a valuable asset for sound design.
Sound Control and Shaping Tools
In addition to its unique concept, Spiral Generator is equipped with a set of classic but powerful tools for precise sound adjustment and dynamic processing.
Function details:
- 6 assignable LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators): Use LFOs to add movement and modulation to any parameter, creating pulsating rhythms, wavy textures, or evolving timbres.
- 5 velocity-sensitive ADSR envelopes: Although currently hard-wired, these ADSR envelopes allow you to shape the dynamics of your sound with sensitivity to your playing, providing expressiveness and control over the attack, decay, sustain, and release.
- Selectable oversampling from 1x to 8x: Control the quality of the output signal and minimize aliasing by selecting the oversampling level according to your needs and the computational capabilities of your system.
- Soft-clipper at the output: This element allows you to gently saturate the signal when increasing the output volume, adding a pleasant warmth and light compression, preventing digital clipping.
Spiral Generator is more than just a synthesizer. It’s an instrument that invites experimentation, visual perception of sound, and exploration of new, uncharted sound territories. Whether you’re creating electronic music, writing soundtracks, or doing sound design, this plugin will give you unique opportunities to bring your boldest ideas to life.
