Syntler: Your Virtual Synthesizer for Grooves and Arpeggios
Welcome to Syntler – a unique virtual synthesizer designed specifically for creating dynamic grooves and captivating arpeggios. This plugin is not just an instrument, but a real interactive studio in your DAW, offering a fresh perspective on the process of writing electronic and experimental music. Forget about the usual controllers – Syntler reveals its potential under the control of a joystick, offering an intuitive and extremely expressive way to interact with sound.
Syntler is ideal for both studio work and live performances. Its innovative approach to control allows you to create complex sound patterns and effects in real time, adding unpredictability and unique character to your tracks.
Key Features of Syntler
- Unique Joystick Control: Explore the sound space with unparalleled freedom. The joystick reacts to the speed of movement, allowing you to precisely control sound parameters and create expressive modulated lines.
- “Groove” and “Scratch/FX” Modes: Switch between creating rhythmic grooves and experimental sound effects. “Groove” mode allows you to record joystick movements to create complex cyclical patterns synchronized with the project’s tempo, while “Scratch/FX” opens the door for instant sound manipulation, simulating scratching effects and other extraordinary techniques.
- Three-Oscillator Architecture: Syntler is based on three powerful oscillators: two tonal ones for forming the main harmonics and one noise one for adding textures, atmosphere, or percussive elements. Combine them to create multi-layered and rich timbres.
- MIDI Keyboard Support: Despite the emphasis on joystick control, Syntler is fully compatible with standard MIDI keyboards. Use MIDI notes (range 36-47) to play the virtual keyboard of Syntler, where the key velocity (Velocity) affects the mode (minor at 0-63, major at 64-127).
- Built-in LFO: Add movement and dynamics to your sounds with a flexible low-frequency oscillator. Modulate various parameters to create pulsating rhythms or smoothly evolving timbres.
- Tempo Sync Delay: Enrich your sound with spatial effects. The built-in delay syncs with your project’s tempo, allowing you to create rhythmic echoes that fit perfectly into your mix.
- 32 Editable Presets: Start working immediately with a library of 32 ready-made presets. Each preset can be easily edited and saved, creating your own unique palette of sounds.
Deeper into Working with Syntler
Syntler invites you to experiment. Try playing on the virtual keyboard or via MIDI, using the range of notes C1-C2 (or MIDI numbers 36-47). Pay attention to how Velocity affects the sound result – low values activate the minor key, high values – major, opening interesting opportunities for melodic variability.
“Groove” mode is a real treasure trove for creating unique rhythmic phrases. Just press “REC”, wait for the metronome light, signaling the start of the measure recording, and start moving the joystick. Syntler will remember your movements and reproduce them as a cyclical groove, perfectly synchronized with the tempo. This opens up endless possibilities for creating complex, unpredictable, and live bass lines, arpeggios, or percussion patterns.
For more chaotic or special effects, switch to “Scratch/FX” mode. Here, joystick movements instantly affect the sound, allowing you to simulate scratches on vinyl, create glitch effects, or other interesting sound manipulations in real time. This mode is ideal for adding unexpected accents or creating experimental soundscapes.
Thanks to the three oscillators, LFO, and tempo-synced delay, the sound potential of Syntler is extremely wide. You can create both classic synthesizer sounds and completely new, experimental timbres. And the ability to save and edit presets allows you to quickly return to your favorite settings or experiment with their variations.
Syntler is more than just a tool. It is a source of inspiration for musicians and sound designers who are looking for new ways to express their ideas. Download Syntler today and discover a new dimension of creating grooves and arpeggios!
