Description:
⚡ Physically Modeled + Subtractive ⚡
Features:
Modal Synthesis, Reimagined Rippler offers modern modal synthesis using techniques like bidirectional energy coupling, combined with classic subtractive synthesis featuring two oscillators and two filters.
At its core, Rippler uses resonator blocks to reproduce the sounds of various instruments without the use of samples. With several modulated parameters, it can produce a wide variety of sounds—from pads and strings to percussion and plucked instruments.
Modulation Everywhere
Each parameter can be modulated by multiple sources, such as envelopes and LFOs.
A simple, drag-and-drop modulation system makes it easy to create complex, time-varying sounds. Shape any modulation connection with custom response curves using Mod Mapping—turn linear modulation into exponential, S-shaped, or stepped modulation to precisely control the impact of each source on the final output.
Modular Effects Chain
13 effects on the master bus and 12 on each layer—all in a fully modular chain.
Combine effects in any order to create unique sonic textures, from subtle warmth to complete destruction.
Dual-Layer Architecture
Two independent synthesis layers with parallel and serial resonator routing.
Bidirectional energy transfer between resonators creates rich, fluid tones that respond naturally to your playing. MPE and Aftertouch
Bring your performance to life with expression and dynamic control.
Full MPE support means each note can have its own bend, pressure, and slide.
Microtuning and MTS
Load Scala .scl or .kbm files or use the MTS Client to tune Rippler to different keys.
Key tracking can also be compressed, expanded, or remapped for unique sonic possibilities.
Audio Input
Sidechain audio directly into the resonators according to the notes you play.
Turn any sound into a resonant tool for creative sound design.
Manual Mode
Custom tuning with instant morphing for experimental sound design.
Create custom resonator configurations and change them in real time.
12 Acoustic Models
Pre-tuned acoustic instrument models, created using mathematical formulas and finite element analysis, produce realistic yet synthesized and flexible sounds.
