Explore New Sonic Horizons with NewModelOscillator
Introducing NewModelOscillator – an innovative VST instrument from developer Whitebox, immersing you in the world of deep Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesis. This plugin is designed for musicians, sound designers, and experimenters looking to add unique, textured, and “dirty” sounds to their tracks, which are only possible through the flexibility of FM synthesis.
The Heart of the Synthesizer: Oscillators and Modulation
At the core of NewModelOscillator lies a powerful architecture with four oscillators: one carrier oscillator and three modulator oscillators. Each of these oscillators offers a choice of 7 different waveforms, providing ample opportunities to shape the initial timbre. By combining and modulating these oscillators, you can create incredibly complex and dynamic sounds – from ringing metallic timbres to pulsating basses and ethereal pads.
Special attention in NewModelOscillator is given to the depth of phase modulation. You can precisely control how much the modulators affect the carrier oscillator, allowing you to achieve a wide range of timbral changes, from subtle nuances to extreme destructive effects.
Additional Features for Creativity
In addition to the powerful FM engine, NewModelOscillator is equipped with a set of useful features for further shaping and expressing your sound:
- VCA Envelope: A single-stage envelope for controlling volume, allowing you to shape the dynamics of your sound – from sharp percussive attacks to smooth atmospheric decays.
- Portamento: A glide function (smooth transition between notes) that adds expressiveness to melodic lines and bass parts, creating a sliding effect.
- UD Reverb: A built-in reverb that allows you to add space and depth to your sound, placing it in a virtual acoustic environment. This helps to make sounds more voluminous and natural or, conversely, to create surreal atmospheric effects.
Start with Ready-Made Presets
For a quick start and to demonstrate the plugin’s capabilities, NewModelOscillator comes with 8 “dirty” presets. These presets are an excellent starting point for experimentation or can be used directly in your tracks if their character matches your idea. They demonstrate how flexible and unpredictable FM synthesis can be in real musical contexts.
Compatibility
NewModelOscillator is available as a VST plugin for the Windows operating system (Win32).
