Metatron by Psychic Modulation is a powerful virtual analog synthesizer designed to generate unique and rich sounds. Ideal for electronic music, techno, ambient, and experimental genres, it combines original oscillators with an innovative arpeggiator and gated sequencer to create boundless rhythmic patterns and sound textures.
Thanks to its intuitive interface, Metatron allows you to quickly immerse yourself in the creative process. This makes it an excellent choice for both experienced sound designers and beginners looking for an instrument with character and a deep, “live” analog sound.
The Heart of Sound: Oscillators and Unison
At the core of Metatron are two phase oscillators with a unique ability to double waveforms, creating a phasing effect similar to PWM, for a special depth and movement. The powerful unison section allows layering of up to 16 voices with precise detuning, and the drift function simulates analog instability. The result is dense basses, fat leads, and voluminous pads.
The ring modulator further expands the palette, allowing the creation of metallic or chaotic timbres.
Rhythmic Possibilities: Arpeggiator and Sequencer
A key feature of Metatron is the integration of an arpeggiator and a gated 16-step modulation sequencer. The sequencer can control gating and modulate parameters, allowing you to create extremely complex and dynamic rhythmic patterns, going beyond a regular arpeggiator. Use this for pulsating basses, moving arpeggios, sequenced leads, or atmospheric gated pads.
Sound Shaping and Processing
To further shape the sound, Metatron offers flexible graphic envelopes, three LFOs with different waveforms and synchronization, and a dual stereo delay. Graphic envelopes allow precise control over dynamics. LFOs add movement and modulation. The built-in stereo delay adds space and depth.
Functions can be assigned to the modulation wheel and pitch bend for expressive performance.
