AddStation: The Next Generation of Additive Synthesis
AddStation, developed by Harry Gohs, is a cutting-edge program that takes additive synthesis to a whole new level. Additive synthesis is a technique that creates timbre by combining sine waves, and AddStation allows users to explore completely new sonic territories with its vast array of features.
With thousands of sine waves per voice and unique morph sequencing blocks, AddStation blurs the boundaries between analog and digital sound realms. It integrates seamlessly into iOS production environments, especially with the emerging AUv3 AudioUnit standard.
In terms of synthesis, AddStation offers fractal additive synthesis, over 170 sound presets, and four parts with eight additive sequence blocks. Users can also enjoy sound morphing, up to 512 partials per voice with independent AD envelopes, and harmonic/inharmonic spectra. The program also includes ring modulation, arbitrary filter functions, noise spectra, and four independent analog-style arpeggiators.
AddStation doesn't stop at synthesis, as it also provides a range of effects to enhance your sounds. These include chorus, phaser, flanger, overdrive, parametric EQ, echo/delay, and reverb. The program also offers global features such as AUv3 for host integration, Audiobus 3 compatibility with state saving, support for Ableton Link, inter-app audio compatibility, CoreMIDI/Virtual MIDI support, and an audio recorder.
Overall, AddStation is a powerful tool for creative sound designers and musicians who want to push the boundaries of sound synthesis. Its extensive features and seamless integration make it a must-have for anyone interested in additive synthesis.
