IVOR2
IVOR2 is microtonal subtractive synth for learning about sound synthesis and musical instrument intonation (microtuning and xenharmonics).
IVOR2 embodies a design philosophy of simplicity for microtonal music sound-design:
- A knob-less design primarily featuring slider controls, which enables intuitive direct control with a computer mouse.
- A dedicated control signal system mapped to the most important synthesis functions.
- Settings are made by typing values into fields, dropdown lists, left-and-right arrows, switches and sliders.
- Enables musicians to specify precise microtonal pitch-bend settings.
- Features arbitrary microtonal oscillator transposition settings.
- MIDI-CC modulation of harmonics enables dynamically playing harmonics of the fundamental pitch.
- 2 Oscillators with 22 Waveforms.
- Microtonal, Cents-Based Oscillator Transposition.
- Per-Oscillator Analog Pitch Drift Emulator.
- Phase & Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Range Sliders.
- 9 dedicated Modulation Generators (MOD-GEN), featuring an ADSR and Graphic Envelope Generator, and an LFO that can be switched to run at Audio-Rate, which are for modulating Phase (FM), Pulse-Width, XFM, Pitch, Filters and Amplitude (VCA).
- MIDI-CC-to-Harmonics Modulation enables oscillators to dynamically sound harmonics of the fundamental pitch.
- Oscillator Mixer for setting relative oscillator volumes, Cross-Fade Modulation (XFM) and Ring Modulator (RM).
- Cross-Fade Modulation (XFM) Mode with six directional options for cross-fading between the two oscillators, including Sum (XFM bypass).
- Pre-Filter Saturation Stage with 20 Saturation Types.
- 2 Independent Filters with Six Filter Types: LP4, LP2, HPF, BPF, BRF, APF.
- 1 and 2 Stage Filter Cascade.
- Parallel and serial order routing.
- Unipolar and Bipolar Filter Modulation Modes.
- Full controller MIDI Pitch Microtuning with MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard).
- MTS support for both Single Note and Bulk Dump: Loads MTS microtuning format files internally and receives MTS externally.
- Patch (per-patch) and Global Microtuning (static microtuning for all patches).
- Microtunings can be loaded from any directory on hard drives or storage devices connected to the PC.
- Partials file loader for patch-level partial retuning of MOD-GEN Audio-Rate Oscillators.
- Modulation Effects include Chorus and two Phaser types.
- MIDI: 12 Note Polyphonic, Monophonic Legato Mode, Monophonic Portamento, Microtonal Pitch Bend, Vibrato.
- Ensemble: Tone Filters, Stereo Ensemble.
- Delay: Stereo Delay effect.
- 118 Factory Patches by Xen-Arts and Sevish.
- 148 MTS Microtunings.
- 91 Partials TXT Files for Audio-Rate Oscillator Modulation.
- Instruction Manual.
