Plaits Macro Oscillator is a hugely sophisticated digital synthesis engine, able to produce and manipulate complex sounds by means of 16 or so fully-realized synthesis algorithms, featuring multiple oscillators, wavetables, filters, VCAs, ring modulators, and so on under the hood.
8 synthesis models for pitched sounds
Two detuned virtual analog oscillators with continuously variable waveforms.
Variable slope triangle oscillator processed by a waveshaper and wavefolder.
2-operator FM with continuously variable feedback path.
Two independently controllable formants modulated by a variable shape window (VOSIM, Pulsar, Grainlet, Casio CZ-style resonant filter…).
24-harmonic additive oscillator.
Wavetable oscillator with four banks of 8x8 waves, with or without interpolation.
Chord generator, with divide down string/organ emulation or wavetables.
A collection of speech synthesis algorithms (formant filter, SAM, LPC), with phoneme control and formant shifting. Several banks of phonemes or segments of words are available.
8 synthesis models for noise and percussions
Granular sawtooth or sine oscillator, with variable grain density, duration and frequency randomization.
Clocked noise processed by a variable shape resonant filter.
8 layers of dust/particle noise processed by resonators or all-pass filters.
Extended Karplus-Strong (aka Rings’ red mode), excited by bursts of white noise or dust noise.
Modal resonator (aka Rings’ green mode), excited by a mallet or dust noise.
Analog kick drum emulation (two flavors).
Analog snare drum emulation (two flavors).
Analog high-hat emulation (two flavors).
