Cetone033

Thanks to the advancements in technology musical creation became an activity requiring little to no assistance from actual instruments. With an audio processor and the right set of plugins, nearly every sound can be emitted, and modified in real time. For instance, Cetone033 is a VST plugin which provides a couple of oscillators, modulators, and filters for real time manipulation of audio input.

This is not a stand-alone product so the target PC needs to be equipped with a suitable VST host, such as energyXT. It automatically routes itself to input and output devices, and it’s also possible to attach it to devices in use, or other types of filters.

The control panel is where all knobs and buttons are found, and audio input is processed in real time. The general volume knob comes with a clip toggle button. In a same toggleable state comes a glider effect, which creates a smooth transition between notes at a customizable interval.

It also comes with two oscillators, each with its own set of knobs to manage coarse, fine tuning, morph, and volume. Three waveforms are used here, namely triangle, pulse, and sawtooth.

Attack and decay knobs are found for amplification and modulation envelope effects. Two types of filters can be applied. On the one hand, there’s the filter modulator with envelope, velocity, and resonance decay controls. On the other hand, the regular filter handles cutoff and resonance, with biquad or moogle processing type.
