Crio: Analog-FM Synthesizer for Your Music
Hello, fellow musician! Ready to discover a synthesizer that combines ease of use with deep sound design capabilities? Meet Crio from Solcito Musica – a virtual analog-FM synthesizer created for musicians who value functionality and speed in the studio and on stage.
Designed with the philosophy of “minimum controls, maximum possibilities,” Crio allows you to easily create arpeggios, dense basses, expressive solo parts, leads, and unique sound effects. Its main advantage is the ability to radically change the sound “on the fly” while playing, making it an ideal tool for both recording and live performances.
Unique features and functions
One of Crio’s most interesting features is its unique LFO. It is equipped with waveform quantization and tempo sync functions. This opens up incredible possibilities for creating rhythmic modulations. And if you apply tonal modulation from the LFO with quantization activated, Crio will be able to “attract” notes to a specific scale, working like an autotuner for modulations! Especially interesting results are obtained when selecting a noise wave in the LFO.
The modulation wheel in Crio doesn’t just add vibrato. It can be linked to the overall LFO function, allowing the player to dynamically control the depth and impact of modulations during performance. Imagine: you’re playing a solo, and with the modulation wheel you add automatic tone variations that fit perfectly into the scale thanks to the LFO quantization. This adds unpredictability and expression to the performance.
Key components of Crio
- Monophonic oscillator with noise generator and 3 voices (including sub-oscillator).
- LFO with waveform quantization and tempo sync functions.
- 2 filter types: classic State Variable Filter and Comb Filter.
- Envelope generator for dynamic control.
- Amplifier with Booster and Saturation functions.
- Slide Tone Control function for keyboard and LFO modulation.
- MIDI Learn support for most controls.
Crio is more than just a synthesizer. It’s a tool for experimentation and creativity, allowing you to quickly get the desired sound. Its simplicity and functionality make it a great choice for both beginners and experienced sound designers and performers.
If you’re looking for a VST instrument that combines analog character with unique FM capabilities and intelligent modulation, Crio from Solcito Musica is worth your attention. Expand your musical horizons with Crio!
