ToneBoosters will soon be releasing a new synth that features a world’s first, Loudness-domain Synthesis. There’s no information on pricing and availability, however I believe the beta has been signed off.
This synth is an innovative bass synthesizer plugin/app featuring three analog-simulated, voltage-controlled oscillators with a large variety of waveform algorithms, continuous pulse-width modulation (PWM), Frequency Modulation (FM) and oscillator hard sync, complemented by a voltage-controlled noise synthesizer, parameter modulation a re-designed non-linear voltage controlled filter.
It’s the world’s first bass synthesizer featuring loudness-domain harmonic synthesis, creating deeper, more consistent and production-ready bass sounds compared to conventional synthesizers operating in the (linear) amplitude domain. (more about this below)
The synth also features a smart randomizer that generates new patches with a single click, and which learns from the patches you have already created to generate new, personalised patches.
About Loudness-domain synthesis
Loudness perception of tones and harmonics is known to be highly non-linear and intricately frequency and level dependent. Equal loudness contours, or Fletcher-Munson curves demonstrate this drastic effect for sine tones, which is especially relevant for low frequencies.
The loudness of a synthesizer bass note, and all its individual harmonics, will therefore depend strongly on what note you play on your synth’s keyboard.
To overcome the resulting inconsistencies in loudness and timbre, the synth features innovative, loudness-domain synthesis algorithms that adjust each harmonic individually to compensate for loudness deviations across frequency.
The synth will be available to PC, Mac and iOS users (VST, AU, AAX and AUv3).
