Create sonic chaos
The foundation of Generate is based on a set of eight chaotic generator oscillators that each deliver a complex sequence of events to create a distinctive sound. What may initially appear as randomness is made up of patterns, interconnections, feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals and self-organization. Every chaotic generator creates a unique system between these patterns that allows you to take your synthesis from simple sine waves to complete sonic chaos with an expansive territory in between. Sweeping between basic and chaotic is provided by a smooth and seamless fader to ensure you have complete control over your sound, no matter how chaotic it may get.
In Generate, the chaotic nature of each oscillator can be heard through musical terms and textures that come in the form of distortion, harmonics, grunge, static and noise, each of which can be modulated to any number of sources.
Creating complex, evolving and expressive synthesizer sounds have never been more accessible than with Generate. Offering a new way to explore sound design, Generate lets avid modular synthesis fans route sounds and modules endlessly between each other while delivering the sounds and expression needed for contemporary cinematic soundscapes that can transport your listeners to other worlds. It will quickly become your go-to for any session where a touch of something extra is needed to add magic to your music.
Stay in control
Generate operates in modules, where the sound evolves and develops as it passes through each module that you assign to the outputs and inputs of your signal. In doing this, Generate's chaotic generators can be routed through modules of your choice, whether that's the Buchla 259-style wavefolder or the Animated Equation module or even the Fractal wave folders, each routing option brings a fresh and distinctive overtone to your signal. Additionally, you can route your sound through the Buchla-inspired low-pass gate for an added layer of control and dynamic to your sound. In combination, the signal flow of Generate is wild yet can be tamed and will always deliver musical and pleasing sounds to help you find your creative spark.
Modulate the choas
Boasting a tremendous number of modulation capabilities, Generate offers up to 957 modulation paths. Mangle and manipulate your sounds through a combination of two envelope generators, two LFOs, a sample and hold generator, an eight-step sequencer and of course MIDI and MPE sources. Completely accessible from the main interface page, Generate allows you to quickly and easily create complex modulation paths by routing modulation outputs to additional modulation sources.
Effect the choas
Using proprietary developments, Generate oscillator voices are followed by world-class effects to transform your sound from rough and ready to professional and polished. Featuring EQ, chorus, delay, reverb and a limiter, you can add dimension, depth, movement and a huge amount of punch to your sounds.
