Prodigious Synthesizer: Reviving Vintage Sound in Your DAW
Looking for that warm, rich sound of classic synthesizers, but with modern capabilities? Meet Prodigious from Synthescience! This VST instrument is based on the design of a legendary vintage synthesizer, breathing new life into its unique character while complementing it with features that perfectly match the needs of the modern musician.
The Heart of Prodigious: Sound Engine
At the heart of Prodigious lies a simple, yet extremely effective architecture:
- Two powerful oscillators, capable of creating rich timbres.
- A third oscillator, acting as a modulation source, opening up FM synthesis possibilities for creating unexpected soundscapes.
This combination allows you to generate both classic and completely new, experimental soundscapes.
Sound Shaping: Filter and Envelopes
To give your sounds the desired shape and dynamics, Prodigious offers:
- A fat 24 dB low-pass filter with self-oscillation capability. This filter is a key element of vintage sound, allowing you to create resonating basses, juicy leads, and atmospheric pads.
- The ability to modulate the filter with a second oscillator, which significantly expands its expressiveness.
- Dedicated envelope generators for the filter and volume, giving precise control over the attack, decay, sustain, and release of your sound.
Additional Features for Creativity
Prodigious is not limited to the basic architecture. It is equipped with useful tools that inspire experimentation:
- A powerful and flexible arpeggiator. Perfect for creating rhythmic patterns, complex sequences, and textures. When your fingers can’t keep up with your thoughts, the arpeggiator will come to the rescue!
- A chorus effects section with three different modes. Add volume and width to your sounds, making them more saturated and lively.
- A built-in delay unit. Allows you to add space and depth, creating atmospheric effects and rhythmic echoes.
