Reaktor Synth Uses 4 Types Of Oscillator

Flintpope releases Four   05-Mar-18

Flintpope tells us that Four is a warm analog-sounding synth that uses  four different types of oscillator to create rich sounds from warm basses and pads to metallic leads and LOFI soundscapes… all via eighties style synth keyboards.

OSC 1 is in itself a 4-waveform oscillator that also includes a feedback loop distortion effect called “Wire” that simulates the crackling and erratic jumps in volume caused by a dodgy jack-plug in a guitar amp.

OSC 2 is a sine wave formant. This has its own simple LFO (tempo synced) that creates various warped vinyl simulations. It also features a “Mash” effect that  creates various audio mess-ups between  sample and hold simulation and distortion.

OSC 3 is a combo of one 8-step and two 4-step oscillators that  create saw-wave/string sounds.

OSC 4 is a powerful bass (mainly) oscillator that morphs between a triangle and a sine wave.
