Madrona Labs – Aalto 1.8.2 (VSTi) [Win x86 x64]

By | September 6, 2017

 

Aalto is a semi-modular software synthesizer with an innovative, customizable user interface, distinctive sounds and a charming personality. The sound engine Aalto allows you to create sounds that were difficult or impossible to do with other software synthesizers so far. Aalto’s heart is a complex oscillator, inspired by Buchla’s hardware, with FM, timbres and waveform controls that provide a wide range of expressive sounds. These sounds are uniquely malleable and alive, in part because they are made by dynamic computation, rather than by static waves.

Each voice has a separate built-in sequencer, independently controlled by speed and offset, which make it easier to create evolving chaotic textures. Each voice also includes a low-pass gate module with vactrol emulation. Aligning vactrol slows the response to incoming signals through a complex non-linear filter. You can configure the vactrol response to be instantaneous or to a pronounced response.

Following the low-pass gadget is a waveguide / delay module with a newer peak and a peak equalizer built into the feedback loop. Since it has such a short and controlled delay time, unlike a typical analog delay, it can be used as an additional oscillator.

Subjectively speaking, Aalto can publish a wide range of sounds, from lush to sharp, including some very complex, but not too fatty in the mix. The sounds of Aalto are not inflated or limited, they are wide, open and natural. We hope that our approach will appeal to experienced sound engineers who have their favorite equalizers and limiters. And for those who simply enter into synthesis, Aalto is an accurate and honest tool for learning.
