OPL FM synthesizer 1.1 released

We have released OPL for macOS, Windows and Linux as AudioUnits, VST, VST3 and Standalone.

The OPL is a digital sound synthesis chip developed by Yamaha in the mid 1980s. Among other products, it was used in sound cards for PC, including the Ad Lib card and early Sound Blaster series.

At a technical level: the emulator has channels comprised of 2 oscillators each. Each pair of oscillators is usually combined via phase modulation (basically frequency modulation). Each oscillator can produce one of eight waveforms (sine, half sine, absolute sine, quarter sine, alternating sine, camel sine, square, logarithmic sawtooth), and has an ADSR envelope controlling its amplitude. The unusual waveforms give it a characteristic sound.

Includes 2480 Sound Blaster instrument presets.

Additional information can be found at OPL page.

Special Intro Price: $29. Demo without restrictions.

Scope visualizer 1.0 released

We have released Scope for macOS, Windows and Linux as AudioUnits, VST and VST3.

An oscilloscope uses a two-axis graph to give a visual representation of a waveform over time, with the horizontal axis representing time and the vertical axis representing the amplitude.

Oscilloscopes are frequently used to assist dynamics processing and sound synthesis. It's usually placed last in the signal chain, so that it analyses the cumulative effects of any plugins placed before it. Like any analysis plugin, though, you can place it anywhere in the chain, to view the signal at that point.

Price: $9. Demo without restrictions.

Additional information can be found at Scope page.
