addY – Analog Synthesizer for Your DAW
Meet addY by 8digiARTS – a powerful VST synthesizer with three oscillators, inspired by classic analog sound. This plugin offers in-depth sound design capabilities for creating rich basses, cutting leads, atmospheric pads, and experimental textures. Designed for Windows (Win32), addY will be a versatile tool in your digital audio workstation, allowing you to get the warmth and character of analog synthesis with all the convenience of software.
The Foundation of Sound: Three Powerful Oscillators
The heart of addY is its section of three flexible oscillators. Each oscillator is an independent sound source, allowing you to build complex timbres by mixing different waveforms.
Key features of each oscillator:
- Waveform Selection: Allows you to choose from available waveforms to shape the basic timbre.
- Pitch Control: Precise pitch adjustment for creating harmonics or detuning.
- Built-in Distortion: Add harmonic saturation or aggressive distortion directly at the oscillator output.
- Individual Filters: Each oscillator has its own Cutoff/Resonance filter with Low Pass and High Pass modes for pre-shaping the sound.
By combining these elements, you can create extremely diverse output signals before further processing.
Modulation and Filtering for Movement and Character
addY offers advanced modulation and filtering capabilities to bring your sounds to life and add dynamics.
Features:
- LFO on Filter (Oscillator 3): Use Oscillator 3 as an LFO source to modulate the master filter with 5 different LFO waveforms. Perfect for filtered sweeps and rhythmic effects.
- Ring Modulation: Built-in Ring Modulator with 5 waveforms for creating metallic, bell-like, and experimental timbres by multiplying signals.
- Master Filter: General Cutoff/Resonance filter for the final shaping of the timbre of the entire synthesizer. Allows you to control the brightness and warmth of the sound, perform dynamic filtering.
These tools give you complete control over the evolution of the sound over time and its overall character.
Spatial Dimensioning: Dual Echo Delay
addY includes a built-in dual echo delay effect, allowing you to add space and depth without the need for external effects plugins.
Delay Functions:
- Two Delay Chains: Creates two independent echo chains for complex effects.
- Panning: Ability to pan each delay chain.
- Crossfader: Unique crossfader between two delays with different curve types for creating dynamic and smooth transitions between delay settings.
This delay is ideal for creating atmospheric pads, rhythmic echoes for leads, or adding space to any sound.
addY by 8digiARTS is a versatile VST instrument that offers rich analog sound and flexible sound design capabilities. With three oscillators, powerful filters, deep modulation (LFO, Ring Mod), and a unique built-in dual echo delay, addY will be a valuable addition for creating music in any electronic genre on the Windows platform. Its intuitive interface allows you to quickly immerse yourself in the sound creation process, and the depth of functionality provides endless possibilities for experimentation.
