Overview

FM virtual synth with a world of sound-shaping possibilities.

Aparillo is an advanced 16-voice FM synthesizer, tailored for majestic sonic motions. A clever arrangement of synthesis, wave shaping, filtering, FX and modulation unfolds into a serious sound design tool for epic sonic creation. Aparillo is based on two interacting FM Synthesizers, capable of forming the most complex timbres. The signal generator has been enriched with fine DSP spices like Jitter, Brightness and Formant/Waveshaping, followed by a free-signal flow Filter/Spacial Comb device, flowing into a polyphonic Auto Pan, the obligatory Delay and Sugar Bytes finest Reverb algorithm yet. The synthesizer is mostly 16-voice-unison, meaning you can play one note at a time, consisting of 16 individual synth voices. Combined with the polyphonic double LFO which also includes FM, this brings you the complex sounds, either of the atonal or of the super harmonic kind, because there is a scale generator in there, capable of the most dramatic orchestrations or just a perfect golden ratio unison.

Synth
Two FM Operators give birth to waveforms so complex it's like they have a life of their own. Different FM Complexity/ and Ratio Modes, Waveshaping, Folding, Formant Shifting, Complex LFOs and the Orbiter deliver sonic spectacles that are sure to blow you out of your seat. A modulatable Scale editor creates unbelievable unison spreads with the deepest of harmonic structures, stacking up to a 16 voice orchestra from another planet.

Orbiter
Total control for an almost unlimited range of sounds. The Orbiter pulls strings throughout the engine putting all the power at your fingertips, with an XY pad to control a massive, record-ready engine. By mouse animation or position per note (128 different sound sounds from your keyboard!), you will discover exquisite sounds and create unbelievable sonic motions.

FX
The effect section is a sound source in its own right. The Spacializer, a delay-based pitch resonator, can generate an additional synth layer per wave-guide synthesis. Besides the typical specialties like Comb and Vowel, the Multi-Mode filter dishes up the super-evil Dirt HP/BP/LPs, that bubble over with spectral grit. The Poly-Autopan, synced Delay, and our best Reverb yet, will add space and air to your precious audio produce.

Modulation
The sole focus of the modulation lies on the diversity of the 16 independent synth voices. As freely definable layers of sound, they will unfold a vast sonic biotope. The Envelopes show off user definable slopes, looping modes, and polyphonic parameter modulation. The dual Complex LFO brings along some specialties like FM, Gravitation, Oneshot, S+H/Quantize, and the beautifully chaotic Collision Mode. The ARP is interwoven with the engine to pick, pluck and extract rhythmic and melodic structures.

Sounds & Presets
More than 500 presets only give a glimpse of the full sonic potential. Aparillo will expand your sonic boundaries, inspire your imagination, and enhance your sound design expertise. Soon you will be creating spectacular sounds with just a few clicks. Your ears will thank you for it. Check out the demo sounds - Pure Aparillo sound without additives!
