Discover NitrousPM – a compact yet immensely powerful virtual analog synthesizer designed by Novakill. This plugin is crafted for musicians and sound designers seeking the rich, saturated sound of analog synthesizers in a convenient digital format. NitrousPM combines high-quality oscillators, flexible modulation capabilities, and an intuitive interface, making it an excellent choice for both studio work and live performances. Despite its minimalist design, this synthesizer hides deep possibilities for creating unique soundscapes, from fat basses and juicy leads to atmospheric pads and experimental textures.
Key Features of NitrousPM
NitrousPM distinguishes itself with its advanced features, allowing you to achieve impressive results:
High-Quality SyncFX Oscillators
The heart of the synthesizer is its two high-quality SyncFX oscillators, developed by Chris Curry. They offer 11 diverse waveforms and a phase modulation function, opening up extensive possibilities for creating complex and dynamic timbres.
Advanced Unison
The unison function in NitrousPM is optimized to achieve a “massive, fat sound,” ideal for creating powerful basslines, wide chords, and epic leads.
Versatile State-Variable Filter
The synthesizer is equipped with a State-Variable filter, offering a variety of modes:
- Low Pass with 12 and 24 dB/octave slopes.
- High Pass 12 dB/octave.
- Band Pass 12 dB/octave.
- Band Reject 12 dB/octave.
This provides exceptional flexibility for shaping the timbre, from gentle smoothing to aggressive resonant coloring.
Multi-mode ADSR Envelopes
Two ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelopes with multiple interpolation modes (slope) allow for precise control over the sound’s dynamics. The modulation envelope also has a looping function to create rhythmic effects.
Tempo-synced LFO
The Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) can be synchronized with your project’s tempo and has 5 modulation assignments (3 available simultaneously), allowing you to create rhythmic modulation patterns.
Dynamics Control via VCA
The VCA (Voltage-Controlled Amplifier) section offers mono and polyphonic modes. Mono mode includes a portamento function for smooth transitions between notes.
Advanced Modulation Routing
NitrousPM provides ample opportunities for using performance dynamics. You can flexibly route modulation from Velocity and Mod Wheel to various synthesizer parameters.
Programmable Gate Modulation
A 16-step programmable Gate Modulation sequencer can be assigned to modulate the phase of oscillators, filter cutoff frequency, and volume (the “trance-gate” effect), enabling the creation of complex rhythmic patterns and effects.
Innovative RARP
The new RARP (Random Arpeggiator) function uses the Gate sequencer to create random variations of notes within a user-defined range (from 0 to 2 octaves), adding unpredictability and freshness to your melodies.
Overdrive Effect
The built-in Overdrive effect adds harmonic saturation and warmth, allowing you to achieve effects ranging from light tube overdrive to aggressive distortion.
MIDI “Learn”
The MIDI “Learn” function significantly simplifies the assignment of MIDI controllers, allowing you to quickly link physical controllers to plugin parameters without the need to manually set MIDI CC numbers.
Compact and Efficient Interface
The NitrousPM interface is designed with a focus on maximum workflow efficiency. Despite its compact size, all controls are large and well-placed, and secondary controls are simple and straightforward to use. This makes it easy to navigate the synthesizer’s functions and quickly realize your musical ideas.
NitrousPM by Novakill is more than just a virtual synthesizer. It is a tool that combines classic analog sound with modern digital capabilities, offering musicians and producers a powerful arsenal for creativity. From rich basses to transparent pads, from melodic leads to experimental sounds – NitrousPM is ready to become your reliable partner in the world of sound design and music production.
