Imaginando ‘FRMS’

The Portuguese audio software developer Imaginando designed ‘FRMS’ as a complex and rich sounding synthesizer with an intuitive interface. FRMS is a versatile hybrid software synthesizer that combines *Granular, FM (Frequency Modulation), and subtractive synthesis using a flexible layering system. From heavily-dense ambient drones to glitchy mechanical noises, FRMS turns simple sounds into complex evolving soundscapes with up to four layers of synthesis in any combination.

Features

3 Synth Engines (Granular, FM, Subtractive)
4 Layers per Voice
8 FM modes, Layers as Operators
Granulate Samples or Live audio
Up to 20 grains per layer
1 Modulation Matrix per Layer
2 EG’s per Layer
1 Filter per Layer and a Master Filter
8 Voice Polyphony
4 LFO’s with 5 modes
Arpeggiator with 5 modes
Delay and Reverb FX as Layer send
High Quality Sample Bank
Built-in Audio Recorder
MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) compatible
Ableton link

FRMS features a minimalistic interface designed to operate in the various screen sizes, ranging from mobile to desktop. FRMS runs with the exact same synth-engine on all platforms ensuring consistent and high quality sounds at any platform. Combining the sonic possibilities of Granular and FM synthesis, FRMS is the perfect tool to create a massive variety of sounds such as soundscapes, leads, drones, crispy metallic textures and much more. Let your imagination run wild through an exciting new world of sound design with FRMS.

FRMS 1.0.3 – Major Performance Improvements

FRMS v1.0.3 by Imaginando was released including significant improvements to overall performance. FRMS is a versatile hybrid synthesizer that combines granular and FM synthesis using a flexible layering system.

Since the release of FRMS – Granular Synthesizer last month, we’ve been busy crunching the code in order to optimise system performance across all platforms.

After a couple of weeks of hard work we’re pleased to bring you this latest update which increases efficiency on all systems by reducing CPU usage, resulting in the availability of higher polyphony.

Right now there’s still time to get 50% off FRMS, but only until the end of April! Buy now – don’t miss out!

Introducing FRMS – Granular Synthesizer by Imaginando

FRMS is a versatile hybrid synthesizer that combines granular and FM synthesis using a flexible layering system. FRMS comes with a clean minimal interface that can help with the control of advanced concepts through a simple and easy to use design.

FRMS (pronounced frames) gives granular synthesis a musical edge by mixing it with subtractive and FM synthesis to produce a wide variety of possible timbres. From heavily-dense ambient drones to glitchy mechanical beings, turn simple sounds into complex evolving soundscapes, with up to four layers of synthesis in any combination.
