CrossMod: Twisted Modulations and Analog Mayhem

CrossMod: Twisted Modulations and Analog Mayhem

Standard subtractive synthesis is great, but things only get exciting when oscillators start attacking each other. CrossMod is built around the ferocious, unpredictable art of cross-modulation.

CrossMod Polyphonic Matrix & Dynamic Envelopes

With two heavy-duty analog-modeled oscillators per voice, CrossMod lets you route Oscillator 1 into the frequency, phase, and pulse-width of Oscillator 2—while simultaneously routing Oscillator 2 back into Oscillator 1. Turn a knob, and pure sub-bass melodies twist into metallic bell screams, alien guttural growls, and tearing industrial pads.

Highlights

  • Bidirectional Modulation Matrix: FM, PM, Hard Sync, and Ring Modulation happening at audio rate.
  • State-Variable Dual Filters: Low-pass, high-pass, and notch with self-oscillating resonance.
  • Analog Drift Engine: Per-voice temperature fluctuation and unquantized micro-detuning.
  • CLAP & VST3: Full polyphonic aftertouch (MPE) and per-note pitch expression.
