Sinevibes Torsion hybrid synth for Mac OS X

Torsion combines multiple synthesis technologies and modulation sources, with three oscillators going into a low-pass filter and into an amplifier. But unlike subtractive synthesis, the oscillators produce simple additive waves based on just a few partials, which are then enriched with new spectral content using a technique called waveshape modelling (which literally “curls” the wave in real time).

Features:

• Three oscillators each with four basic additive waveforms and four waveshape models
• –24 dB/octave resonant low-pass filter
• –12 dB/octave high-pass filter
• Ring modulator
• Modulation oscillator for low-pass filter FM
• Four tempo-synchronised LFO generators with four waveforms and per-cycle randomisation
• Two AHDSR envelope generators
• Two-dimensional chaos modulation generator based on Lorenz attractor
• 50 preset patches, with more to be added in future updates

Torsion is sold $49 and is only available in Audio Unit plugin version. You can listen to audio samples and download demo version at www.sinevibes.com/torsion/.
