Ens1

Ens1 is an “ensemble” virtual synthesizer, paying homage to (and improving on) classic “paraphonic” instruments such as the ARP Omni, Polymoog and many Italian-made ensemble keyboards. These instruments, though not as complex as later polyphonic synthesizers, excel at creating sounds reminiscent of strings, choirs and brass though also capable of creating wholly synthetic sound textures. Ens1 features: 2 Tone “Generators” Continuously-variable wave forms from Triangle to Sawtooth to Narrow-Pulse to Square. Simultaneously-available 16’, 8’, 5 1/3’, 4’ & 2’ ranks. Generator detune. Pitch LFOs with frequency, depth and “frequency spread” between generators. 3 Resonators Frequency, resonance & gain (including negative gain) controls. Bypass, Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass and No Pass modes. Paraphonic Low Pass and High Pass Filters Frequency and resonance LFO with separate depth for low pass and high pass filters ADSR Envelope with separate amount for low pass and high pass filters Per-voice VCA ADSR envelope, not just AR. Paraphonic Amplitude control Tremolo with speed & depth controls Final volume control Effects Phase shifter Chorus Delay 20 simultaneous voices Optimal, low-latency audio Full MIDI control, including arbitrary controller mapping.
