NEW Transmutation – $19 ★ 50% OFF

AAS newcomer Michel Basque presents Transmutation—a 101-preset sound collection for Chromaphone 3.

From all times and places—exotic, traditional, electronic—this miscellanea balances real and surreal textures with a strong lively quality that captures the prominent essence of Chromaphone 3.

Chromaphone 3 Acoustic Object Synthesizer

Applied Acoustics Systems releases the Chromaphone 3 acoustic object synthesizer plug-in. Chromaphone strikes in full dynamics with acoustic sharpness and precision.

Applied Acoustics Systems announces the official release of Chromaphone 3 — an all-new version of its acoustic object synthesizer for macOS and Windows. Chromaphone 3 is a two-voice eight-physically-modeled-acoustic-resonator synthesizer with advanced editing capabilities that produce a delightful mixture of real-life presence and distinctive timbres that can’t be found anywhere else.

Chromaphone 3 ships with 1000+ presets taking full advantage of its state-of-the-art acoustic object synthesis.

RESONATORS—THE HEART OF OBJECT SYNTHESIS

Chromaphone 3 proudly showcases eight physically modeled acoustic resonators. Mix and match strings, plates, drumheads, membranes, beams, bars, and tubes to reproduce real-life instruments or create original ones. At the turn of a few knobs, become an instrument maker, shaping metal, carving wood, and stretching skins.

Chromaphone 3’s New Features

• Home view—the Home view presents a distraction free and laid-back browsing and tweaking experience.
• Two-Voice Multitimbral—Two independent timbres—stacked or split—create performance-friendly, texture-full, and spacious sounds.
• Macros—Four performance macros per layer that respond to user-defined MIDI controls. Each and every sound features modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect morphing assignments that can be played in real-time for enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.
• Browser—The brand-new browser offers an efficient way to home in on the right sounds thanks to the Packs, Sounds, Categories, and Creators views.
• Factory Library—Chromaphone 3’s factory library contains 421 never heard before sounds as well as refined versions of the 670+ Chromaphone 2 presets.

The Chromaphone 3 plug-ins run on both Windows and macOS in 64-bit host sequencers that support the VST2, VST3, Audio Units, AAX Native, and NKS formats.
