 The Harmolator 

The Harmolator is a set of global controls that get to the heart of the synthesis engine without the need to edit the additive partials that make up the waveform. 

The Harmolator allows oscillator spreading, fattening the sound and also square / sine wave sub-oscillator. The sound can be modified further by the 21 per-voice distortions types and 14 filter types.

The XY screen

Blade offers control of the sound over time using different modulation controls. The most significant of these is the central XY screen. Here you can either alter things by moving the cursor around, or you can record paths which can be replayed, creating an advanced LFO.

Features:

• 16 voices, operating in poly, mono 1/2 , legato 1/2 and arp modes.
• Harmolator Oscillator with 9 controls, harmolator wave settings, two types of spread functions and sub-oscillator.
