Welcome to the world of additive synthesis with AddIt from MVX Synths! This unique virtual instrument opens up new horizons in sound creation, going beyond traditional synthesis methods.
What is AddIt?
AddIt is a powerful 8-oscillator additive synthesizer, designed for experimentation and the creation of unique timbres. Unlike classic additive instruments that often imitate organs or other fixed sounds, AddIt focuses on dynamic modulation and sound evolution.
Key Features
Oscillators and Filter
- 8 oscillators: The heart of the synthesizer, allowing the construction of complex harmonic structures.
- 4 typical waveforms: Provide the basic elements for synthesis.
- Dual SVF multimode filter: Allows for timbre shaping by applying different filter modes to add or remove harmonics.
Unique Modulation System
AddIt stands out with its segmented modulation system, providing exceptional control over the sound:
- Segment A (Amplitude): Controls the amplitude of harmonics and overall volume.
- Segment P (Pitch): Affects the pitch of the tone and harmonics.
- Segment B (Stereo Balance): Allows dynamic positioning of the sound in the stereo space.
Each of these segments can be modulated independently, opening up broad possibilities for creating moving and lively sounds.
Modulation Sources
To set the modulation parameters in motion, AddIt is equipped with:
- 3 LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators): Ideal for creating cyclical changes in sound, from vibrato to complex rhythmic patterns.
- 3 ADSR envelopes: Allow shaping the dynamics of the sound from attack to decay, applying them to various parameters.
Creating Unique Sounds
The goal of AddIt is not to reproduce existing instruments, but to create completely new, original timbres. Thanks to the combination of additive synthesis with deep modulation capabilities, you can move away from the limitations of subtractive synthesis and explore soundscapes that were previously unattainable.
Although the plugin has few factory presets, each of them sounds unique and demonstrates the potential of the instrument. This encourages the user to their own sound design, experimenting with oscillators, filters and, most importantly, the branched modulation system. Additional layers of timbres, added by oscillators, can be dynamically changed, creating effects that are difficult to achieve with other methods.
AddIt is ideal for musicians, sound designers and producers who are looking for a tool to create cutting-edge, experimental, and expressive sounds. This is an instrument for those who are ready to delve into the depths of additive synthesis and unlock its true dynamic potential.
Explore complex harmonic interactions, shape them with a powerful filter and bring the sound to life with flexible modulation. AddIt by MVX Synths is your guide to a world of unexplored sounds.
