Based on the harmonic series, it’s designed to give you a more musical experience
Electric Telepathy’s Fluoresynth is a new software instrument that uses the harmonic series to create pitched musical tones. Essentially, there’s a fundamental tone and 12 overtones, with the relationship between the fundamental and the overtones determining the brightness and warmth.
The interface is straightforward, with non-technical parameter names that are designed to give you a more ‘musical’ editing experience. There’s a built-in oscilloscope and velocity sensitivity.
Fluoresynth is available as a VST/AU plugin for PC and Mac, and you can name your price when you buy it (the minimum price is $5). There’s also a demo to try, and a web version that you can play in your browser.
