SPC Plugins ArcSyn v4.0.2 (WIN MAC)

ArcSyn is a synthesizer instrument plug-in based on typical analogue synthesizer architecture, i.e., a “virtual analogue” synthesizer. Unlike many virtual analogues, it doesn’t try and emulate a particular ‘real’ synthesizer, nor does it use 90% of your computer’s CPU time to emulate a filter which can be cloned on a 2″ (5 cm) square PCB with $5 worth of components ? Instead, it takes the “road less well travelled” and explores some unusual avenues of analogue (and digital) synthesis—the sort of capabilities you might find on a well-stocked modular synthesizer, including: unusual waveforms, dividers, logic functions, frequency shifters and so on. ArcSyn also introduces the concept of LFO wave sequencing, allowing extremely complex modulation patterns.

ArcSyn is laid out approximately like a MiniMoog, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to start editing programs and creating interesting sounds, although if you take the time to work out how the LFOs and modulation matrix operate, you’ll be able to create much more complex programs. There’s also a RANDOM button which you can click at any time if you want some instant (not necessarily musical!) inspiration.

FEATURES:

• No samples—all oscillator waveforms are generated from scratch.
• Many unique waveforms including Subharmonics, BitNoise and FM Crossfade.
• Unique LFOs feature wave sequencing and hundreds of unusual waveforms including many random types.
• Powerful, selfoscillating filters based on the Oberheim Matrix 12.
• Many unusual filter types like Frequency Shifter, Scramble and MultiAlias.
• Smooth, natural sound quality throughout—Oscillators and filters are 4X oversampled, all audio processing is done in 64bit arithmetic and control signals are updated at 5500Hz or higher.
• Comes with over 500 programs.
• MIDI controller learn.
• Easy program organisation—rearrange programs and folders using your computer’s file system.

System Requirements

• Win: a PC running Windows 7, 8 or 10 with an SSE2-capable CPU and a VST 2.4 or VST3 compatible DAW / sequencer host application.
• Mac: an Intel Mac running 64 bit macOS 10.7 (Lion) or later and an AudioUnit, VST 2.4 or VST3 compatible DAW / sequencer host application.
