Alpha Free description
This synthesizer application is VST plug-in instrument for creating new sounds

Focussed on the essential modules of an analogue synthesizer Alpha 3 offers true hands on operation. Everything is where you would expect it, nothing is more complex as it needs to be. Nothing is less powerfull as it needs to be. Alpha 3 is the sum of all our experience in synthesizer manufacturing.

Alpha 3 will allow Frequency Modulation of the Filters Cutoff, a feature that you can only find in very few Synthesizers. The source of the Filter FM can be any oscillator, even noise. Together with the Ringmodulator which can be gradually morphed from pure Oscillator 2 over Amplitude-Modulation to Ring-Modulation this is a guaratee for some of very finest and most excotic sounds a classic subtractive synth can produce

Alpha 3 has two oscillators with each producing a continuously adjustable mix of 2 from 30 waveforms. Taking into account that both basic waveform can have a different pitch already allows for thousands of resulting waveforms. But dont worry, our concept of handling is dead easy, pick the waveforms and adjust the mix.

Just when you get tired about the many over-complex synthesizers of today, when you want to return to the roots, the beginning of all synthetic sound, the times when a Synthesizer could be fully programmed, then the Alpha 3 is the right synthesizer for you. Get the synth that you can control. Completely.
