Additive Synthesis for Everyone
Rift is a Max for Live additive synthesizer. Featuring custom configurable oscillators, frequency and amplitude modifiers, and ample modulation sources, Rift is a powerhouse synthesizer for all your timbral needs.
What is Additive Synthesis?
Additive synthesis is a technique that employs multiple sine wave oscillators in parallel to generate complex waveform shapes.
By modifying the frequency and amplitude of these oscillators, it can produce unique timbral qualities that are distinct from those created by subtractive or FM synthesis.
A Modifier for Every Weather
At the core of Rift lie the frequency and amplitude modifiers, which allow for deep shaping of the harmonic partials.
Want to pull down the partials closer to the note pitch for some cloudy beating? Try the funnel modifier. Looking for drizzly comb filtering? Impose a sine wave onto the partial amplitude with the ripple modifier.
Need to detune and attenuate above the 32nd partial for some thunderstorms? There’s a modifier for that too. Dial in an LFO to animate the modifications with just a few clicks. Rift can do it all.
Building on Together
Rift was designed with input from a community of artists, sound designers, and developers. The internal code has been purposefully written with modularity and open-endedness, allowing for new waveforms or modifiers to be added in the future.
