aphelian features a new kind of sequencer, based on a geometrical metaphor. the interface is composed of 4 independent instruments, distributed in the corners. each instrument has a shape that function as a timeline. the user can draw events in the timeline to create melodies. the shapes are located over a note map that defines the note of each event. the shapes can be easily transformed using gestures that take full advantage of the touch screen. any transformation in the shape results in a predictable modification in the musical composition. aphelian offers an amazing balance between joyful exploration and accurate detail control, proposing an organic way to compose music. inspired by johannes kepler’s geometrical model of the solar system, where the planets play melodies as they orbit the sun as*embling a eg waveshaper is the first synthesizer that lets you create your sound with a finger. draw the waveform on the screen or shape a builtin one, mix it with a clas*ic an*log oscillator and a sub oscillator and automate all the hybrid waveshaping engine ‘waveshaping is a synthesis-and-transformation technique that turns 2 wavetables can be designed and morphed to create unique and dynamic sounds under your finger, choosing the morph attack and release; complex spectra can be created waveshaping the oscillator and introducing non linear distortion, rich harmonics and a tu*e-vacuum 2 lfo and 2 envelopes with indipendent time can be as*igned to virtually any of the synth parameters. they can also be graphically designed with the touch of your finger or you can choose among the builtin envelopes. – 100+ presets (pad, lead, bas* and fx) – 30+ builtin waveforms to use and modify – 2 lfos and 2 envs as*ignable to any parameter – fx: reverb, delay and eg crush – detune osc to create huge unison sounds – fm and noise with configurble fm ratio and noise eq – vcf and reso filters – complete presets management with export and share – core midi: midi in, midi cc, midi channel pressure control – au3 with full kn*bs parameters automation
