creative synthesizer with unique drawing-based sequencer
the synth engine
the synth engine of blöcks consists of 3 main sound generators, which are later processed by various modulations and fx.
the generators are:
a deep sine wave generator with a “kicky” envelope
a noise-driven hi-hat
a punchy percussion
each colored block placed on a sequencer is matched with corresponding sub-sequence
control all of the synth parameters including:
– pitch, sustain and velocity of sound, among with scale quantization
– blending between sound types
– wavefolding and frequency modulation with sync switch
– low-pass filter with resonance
– phase-distortion with feedback amount
– amplitude, ring and sync-resonator modulation
– comb-reverb with adjustable size and sharpness
– synced delay line
feeling adventurous? randomize!
press the r button near each sequence to randomize the values
