Welcome to a world of unpredictable textures and experimental sound! The Angle plugin by Xoxos is not just another synthesizer, but a true instrument for sound designers and musicians who seek to go beyond the conventional. This unique virtual instrument immerses you in the depths of a three-dimensional oscillator, combining it with an innovative concept of normalization synthesis and controlled chaos feedback.
Angle is designed to create complex, evolving timbres that are ideal for atmospheric music, film scoring, electronic experiments, or even unusual percussive elements. Forget about standard waveforms; Angle generates sound using the transformation of rotations in 3D space and normalizing the result to create unique harmonic content.
The Heart of Angle: Three-Dimensional Oscillator and Chaos
At the heart of Angle’s sound lies the concept of a three-dimensional oscillator. This approach allows for the generation of sound signals with a multidimensional structure, open to complex modulations. But the real magic begins when feedback is added to this, controlled by specific forms of chaotic attractors. These attractors, designed specifically for audio, introduce an element of unpredictability and organic quality to the sound, creating complex, evolving textures.
The method of normalization synthesis used by Angle involves composing and transforming rotations, after which the resulting value is normalized to a unit length. This process generates harmonics and leads to the appearance of unique sound spectra that are difficult to reproduce by traditional synthesis methods.
Features and Capabilities
Angle is a powerful engine for textural synthesis, offering several degrees of continuous parameter variation. Key features include:
- Unique three-dimensional oscillator.
- Normalization synthesis with feedback based on chaotic attractors.
- Two forms of chaotic attractors optimized for audio.
- Deep control over complex textures and timbres.
- Two “Performance Modulator” LFO modulators.
Performance Modulators: Bring Your Sound to Life
The two independent LFO modulators in Angle are a powerful tool for introducing dynamics and movement into your sound. Each modulator offers over 60 modulation contours to choose from. Among them, you will find not only standard waveforms, but also a whole set of “strange attractors” and unusual sequencing options. These unique modulation forms allow you to create complex, organic, and unpredictable parameter movements, making each sound alive and unique.
Visual Control: Oscilloscope
For a better understanding and control over the complex sounds that Angle generates, the plugin’s interface includes a built-in oscilloscope. It allows you to visualize the waveform in real-time, helping you analyze the impact of parameters on the final sound and more precisely adjust the desired timbre.
Purpose and Sound
It is worth noting that Angle has a specific feature – it does not generate a fundamental frequency (fundamental tone). This feature makes it less suitable for creating melodic parts in the usual sense, but instead, opens up wide possibilities for other applications. The plugin is ideal for creating atonal timbres, experimental soundscapes, textures, noises, and, most notably, for forming unique percussive sounds. Its ability to generate complex, evolving, and unpredictable signals makes it an excellent choice for electronic music, soundtracks, industrial music, and any genre where original and non-standard sounds are needed.
Angle by Xoxos is a tool for those who are not afraid to experiment and seek new sonic horizons. It invites you to explore chaos and order in synthesis, offering a unique approach to sound creation. Try it to add unique textures and atonal elements to your music projects!
