New Synthesizers for free by Xoxos

Xoxos has released three innovative synths for free Angle, Black and Outer.

“These vst both combine what I am terming normalisation synthesis with feedback to produce two new forms of chaotic attractor specified for audio. Each vst uses a slightly different method of compounding and transforming rotations. The result is then normalised to unit length to produce harmonics.

The spectra of multidimensional rotations differs from traditional audio synthesis methods. After making black I immediately continued to experiment with rotations to see if circular membrane harmonics could be easily approximated. Angle was a simple hypothesis that does not produce the fundamental and proved useful for synthesizing a variety of atonal timbres with complex harmonics. After giving the synths a test run and finding them useful, here they are. The methods used have not been studied much to date that I’m aware of.

Due to the combination of irregular spectra and chaotic timbral behaviour, these synthesizers can create a wide variety of sounds that respond richly to modulation. The methods may have an extensive utility to general timbral synthesis but so far I have found their use more intriguing for modulated textural applications more than leads and basses. I recommend them for when you want something that sounds weird”
