Immerse yourself in the depths of classic analog sound with BrainStormer, a powerful software synthesizer from Roazhon DSP. This instrument is designed for musicians seeking the warmth, character, and endless sound modeling possibilities available in the era of hardware synthesizers, but in a convenient plugin format. BrainStormer offers an intuitive interface and a rich feature set, allowing you to create both classic analog timbres and experimental soundscapes. Whether you’re writing electronic music, ambient, or adding textures to rock tracks, BrainStormer will become an indispensable tool in your studio.
Key Features of BrainStormer
Powerful Oscillator Block
At the heart of BrainStormer are three stereo oscillators, which provide deep and spacious sound. Each oscillator has a number of unique features for precise waveform shaping:
- Retrig settings for controlling the start of the phase.
- Phase control for creating unique textures.
- Wave Stretch for waveform deformation.
- Stereo dephasing to expand the sound panorama.
This gives you extreme flexibility in creating the initial sound, from classic sawtooth and square waves to more complex, multi-layered timbres.
Flexible Modulation and Filtering
BrainStormer impresses with its modulation capabilities, which open the way to dynamic and lively sounds:
- Flexible FM and Ring modulation allow you to create both metallic and harmonically rich sounds.
- The filter section offers various modes: Low Pass (LP), Band Pass (BP), High Pass (HP), Peak, and Notch. The filter has a dedicated envelope (ENV) and Key Follow function, which allows you to change the cutoff frequency depending on the pitch of the note.
Advanced Modulator Capabilities
The plugin is equipped with a wide range of modulation sources to bring your sounds to life:
- Two LFOs (low-frequency oscillators) with a wide frequency range (up to 2 kHz), Retrig functions, BPM synchronization, phase control, and clipping. Each LFO has independent settings for the amount of influence on various parameters and the ability to self-modulate.
- Two modulation envelopes (ENV) with standard ADSR settings. They have independent settings for the amount of influence on various parameters and the ability to self-modulate.
- Two additional modulation sources that can be assigned to Wheel, Pitchbend, Velocity, or output from any of the LFOs or ENVs.
- A total of 72 assignment parameters are available for modulation, giving almost limitless possibilities for experimentation.
Additional Functions and Sound Quality
BrainStormer includes important additional functions for convenience and control:
- Panic functions (for resetting stuck notes), Main Volume.
- Polyphony and note mode control.
- Portamento settings for a smooth transition between notes.
- Pitchbend control.
- Internal oversampling x2 to improve sound quality and reduce aliasing.
It is important to note that all DSP code is developed by Roazhon DSP themselves, which demonstrates a unique approach and optimization.
Compatibility
BrainStormer is available in VST3 and VST2.4 formats, supporting 32- and 64-bit Windows operating systems (Win32, Win64). This ensures wide compatibility with most modern digital audio workstations (DAW) on the Windows platform.
BrainStormer from Roazhon DSP is not just another software synthesizer. It is an instrument with character that offers deep sound design capabilities, inspired by classic analog instruments. Its flexible architecture and rich set of modulation sources make it an ideal choice for creating dense basses and leads, as well as for ambient textures and complex experimental sounds. Try BrainStormer and discover new horizons in your musical creativity.
