Warp is a synthesizer with a novel hybrid engine that combines the best of additive and wavetable synthesis. It is a feature-rich powerhouse that lets you create all kinds of sounds, from glassy clean to crunchy crunch. Thanks to expressive macro tone controls, extreme morphs are possible in a single pot turn. With the integrated editor you can playfully draw your own overtone spectra into the colorful XY matrix and also export them as wavetables for other synths.
Features
- Complete synthesizer with 4 voices and 2 oscillators each
- Innovative hybrid of additive and wavetable synthesis
- Four voice polyphonic with WarpEx Expander, monophonic as standalone unit
- MPE and MIDI capable with WarpEx Expander, but also playable polyphonic with 4x CV & Gate
- Comes factory equipped with numerous Factory- and Artist-Created features
- Large pots act as performance-oriented macro controls for several internal parameters
- Each pot has its own CV input
- Graphically appealing, animated and easy to follow menu
- Internal modulation: 2x ADSR, Note-Key and 2x LFO with a variety of waveforms
- External modulation: OMNI CV input (24-bit), MIDI velocity, MIDI aftertouch, MIDI CC
- Powerful and clearly animated modulation matrix with 8 x 19 = 152 internal modulation values per voice
- Many modulation destinations can be modulated at up to 24kHz, a unique feature in digital synthesizers
- The XY matrix serves as a pool of 32 x 16 overtone spectra from which each voice draws its basic sound
- X and Y position to scan overtone spectra in two dimensions (with interpolation), as in wavetable synths
- Complex spectral filter is applied to overtone spectrum before wavetable is calculated in real time
- A mix of wavetable effects changes the waveform in the time domain: Fold, Drive, Bend and Redux
- The waveform is used by two oscillators per voice, which can interact through several effects
- Oscillator effects: Linear detune, Sync, AM, FM, Phase distortion, filtered noise.
- Low-pass and high-pass filters with 12 or 24dB per octave as well as filter resonance
- Two outputs for stereo or two signal busses. 24 bit, 48kHz output, 32 bit internal
- Pitch adjustment with stepped encoder in octaves, semitones or fine tuning. Quick reset on long-press
- Several intuitive editors on board to draw your own overtone spectra or derive them from audio files
- Wavetable export function to create wavetable files in the appropriate target format for other synthesizers
