Numerical Audio ShockWave: Phase Distortion Synthesizer with Modular Workflow
ShockWave is a versatile synthesizer that combines Phase Distortion Synthesis with a modular workflow. The phase distortion engine offers a unique approach to synthesis, ideal for sound design and experimentation. With 11 modulation sources and over 40 destinations, ShockWave fosters creativity and unexpected sonic discoveries through patching and modulation.
Modular Design and Features
ShockWave’s semi-modular architecture includes a Control Section with analog style sequencers, trigger divider, and more. The synthesizer’s built-in Delay and Reverb processors can be modulated dynamically, enabling the creation of complex and evolving patches. The absence of virtual patch cables simplifies the user interface, while an X-Ray mode provides a real-time display of active modulations.
Expressive Performance
Expressive Touch Controls and MPE controller support allow for independent control of pitch, timbre, and dynamics per note. Users can map expression to various parameters for enhanced control, making ShockWave compatible with popular MPE controllers like ROLI Seaboard and Linnstrument.
