Kapling is a simple little standalone physical modeling synthesizer application for Mac OS X built with Max/MSP 5.
It is based on the Karplus-Strong algorithm.
“Kapling uses this method to attempt the emulation of resonant bodies, like a string being plucked, or melodic percussion instrument being struck, ” according to Sineqube.
Eight independent voices are triggered by a 32-step sequencer, with a variety of parameters set up to help you sculpt new timbres in realtime. Kapling also features a tempo-synced stereo delay and recording to disk.
In simpler terms, “Kapling can help you make twangy, boingy, klonky tones, ” according to its creator.
Key features:
- 8 independent synth voices
- 32-step sequencer
- realtime timbral controls
- randomized initial impulse to provide natural variation over time
- tempo-synced stereo delay
- store presets for pitch, sequences, and timbre, and export them to disk
- record output directly to disk as an aiff file
- cpu monitor helps keep track of the tax on your system
- each voice has a hotkeyed mute switch for ease of live use
- freeware! (but donations are welcome)
