bLO FIsh description
Versatile LO-FI VST synthesizer. Chip sound. Not a chip emulation.
Versatile 3 Oscillator LO-FI synth. Not an emulation of any particular "chip", it's much more powerful than that. bLO-FIsh incorporates classic chip type (8 bit) sounds with more traditional synth elements to bring on a huge sonic range.
Flexible, extensive modulation plus a 16-step gate for more musical and rhythmic options. Moreover, bLO-FIsh comes together with a distortion effect and a CPU-friendly reverb.
Here are some key features of "bLO FIsh":
Generators:
· 3 Wave Oscillators with Sine, Saw, Ramp, Triangle, Square and two different widths of Pulse waves.
· Audio quality is switchable between standard, 16 bit/44 khz operation and 8 bit/22 khz LO-FI mode.
· Graphic amplitude ADSRs.
· Output routing options to either
filter, both filters, or no filter (straight to effects section).
· Hard sync feedback loop - each oscillator hard syncs to the next and #3 syncs to #1.
Filters:
· 2 Fast-response SV Filters with Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Band Reject modes.
· Graphic ADSRs routable to cutoff, resonance, or both. Control over amount of envelope applied.
· Pan and volume controls.
· Filters operate on a parallel basis (they are independent of each other).
Effects section:
· 'CheapoDisto' - no frills distortion device.
· Efficient reverb unit. Normal, gated and freeze modes.
Modulation devices:
· 2 Tempo-synced LFOs with wave modification options (shaping, folding).
· 1 Free LFO, 2 Graphic ADSRs (modulation also possible from velocity, aftertouch and mod wheel).
· 16 step "Trance" style gate, synced to tempo. Mixes independently with all 3 Oscillators.
· 6 slot Modulation Matrix with 8 selectable sources and 63 selectable targets, user defined.
Other:
· Designed to be fast and easy to use. Large, very visible, color coded interface.
· 64 built in presets.
· Most parameters are controllable via MIDI.
· Monophonic or 8 voice polyphonic operation with retrigger and portamento/glide available in mono mode.
Requirements:
· At least 1 GHz CPU,
· 1 GB of RAM
· Audio Interface/Sound card with ASIO driver
· VST host with sequencer, mixer and other studio options (a workstation)
Limitations:
· 14 days trial
