VST Phrase Synthesizer
Designed for computer-based musicians, arrangers and sound designers,
Xphraze brings together two worlds that have been separated for too long:
powerful sound shaping and real-time polyphonic phrase creation.
Easy to use, Xphraze lets you create rave chords, complex polyphonic
soundscapes, bass and lead riffs, sweeping pads and tempo-synced sound
effects. Simply drag a phrase from the pool, tweak the groove and sound,
play a note or a chord and listen as Xphraze textures kick in and move
perfectly in sync with the song.You can even drag in your own samples
and let Xphraze do it's magic to them.
But don't stop there -- you can also use real-time controllers and other sound-mangling tools to change the phrasing or sonic
character in ways that were previously unimaginable.
At the heart of this sample-based instrument is a flexible multi-timbral synthesizer engine, offering extensive sound-shaping
and real-time modulation possibilities. Powered by an integrated polyphonic phrase generator, Xphraze is capable of conjur-
ing up any kind of rhythmical phrases like polyphonic chord patterns, drum grooves, bass lines and even tempo-synced synth
textures ranging from pads to arpeggios.
◆ 4-part multi-timbral polyphonic phrase
synthesizer, full loop and tempo-sync
capability (phrase oscillators, envelopes
and LFOs).
◆ Each Timbre consists of: Phrase Oscillator
(32 cells) with individual note resolution,
amp section and multimode filter (low-
pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch filters
with 12-72 dB slopes) with freeform
loopable envelopes, two additional
freeform loopable auxiliary envelopes,two
freeform LFOs, arpeggiator, unison mode.
◆ Each Phrase Oscillator contains individual
waveform per cell, plus a maximum of six
assignable cell parameters, such as pitch,
cutoff,resonance, pan,level and more. Cell
parameter curves are freely mouse-editable.
◆ Unlimited, freely assignable modulation
potential with full morph capability (one
controller controls multiple parameters at a
time, which can be adjusted individually).
◆ Phrase playback can be fully adjusted for
each timbre: play and loop range
(start/end) can be adjusted on-screen,
switchable trigger/mute per cell, adjustable
cell crossfade/duration.
