The fundamental knowledge and information that a beginning or intermediate electronic musician needs to understand and play keyboard synthesizers.
Suitable for existing synthesists and newcomers to the industry; teachers, professors, and students in universities, colleges, high schools, and middle schools who are interested in electronic music; and manufacturers, dealers, consultants, journalists, authors, owners, performers, composers, improvisers, engineers, producers, and recordists in the electronic-music and electro-acoustic industries. Electronic music instruments weren’t called synthesizers until the 1950s, but their lineage began in 1919 with Russian inventor Lev Sergeyevich Termen’s development of the Etherphone, now known as the Theremin. From that point, synthesizers have undergone a remarkable evolution from prohibitively large mid-century models confined to university laboratories to the development of musical synthesis software that runs on tablet computers and portable media devices.
Warm, evolving, analog, lush, synthetic, dreamy, ambient and cinematic. Beauty From A Synthesizer is a library with focus the beautiful. Evolving and lush pads, analog warmth, gentle, tender leads and breaths of fresh air. A library full of pads and leads and also soundscapes and bass sounds with instant gratification in mind. Load any lead sound and play your favorite melody, load any pad and be swept away completely. Every sound is tagged by type and comes with a detailed description in the comments field. All sounds are designed with careful assignment of each macro knob with maximum focus on the specific character of the sound and it’s intended use where subtle or more dramatic changes are perfectly in tune with the preset.
Impaktor, a drum synthesizer with a vast sonic palette, that turns any surface into a playable percussion instrument. You just slap your desk like you would a real drum. The real acoustical impulses from the built-in microphone are used as an excitation source for advanced sound modules that simulates behavior of membranes, cymbals, metallophones or strings. This makes Impaktor a highly responsive and expressive instrument. With semi-modular architecture and several types of synthesis, Impaktor can produce a wide range of tones, from acoustic, like Tabla, Djembe, Marimba, Cymbals, Metal bars to electronic or industrial sounds. Enjoy the most realistic virtual drumming experience available for mobile devices!
The soundset contains 128 presets: Sequenses, Chords, Plucks, Leads, Pads, Drive arpeggios, Basses, Acid sounds and FX. Some presets have the modulation wheel assigned to morph the sounds.
Alexander Zolotov has released Virtual ANS, a free virtual analog synthesizer which is available for numerous platform (including Windows, Android, etc.).
Virtual ANS is a full-featured professional tool which allows you to create unusual, deep, atmospheric sounds. With this app you can draw a complete piece of music, or convert sound to image (sonogram) and then make some complex sonogram modifications.
Virtual ANS is available for free download via Alexander Zolotov’s website (4.5 MB download size, available in standalone format for Windows, Mac, Linus, Android, and iOS in near future).
