Tracktion Corporation has introduced KULT the latest synth offering from Peter V (AKA Dawesome) which they describe as a truly unique take on classical synthesis. It is Peter's 4th instrument, following on from Novum, Abyss, & Chop Suey. Here's the details direct from the company...
KULT merges classical syntheses with groundbreaking new concepts, bringing alive fascinating, unique sounds. The synths real magic lies in the mesmerizing visual feedback it displays as users craft their own sounds. Perfect for anyone who has ever struggled to really understand FM synthesis.
At the heart of the new synth are two, independent, immensely powerful oscillators. These so-called 'Strange Attractors' are based on the mathematical theory of chaos and there are more than thirty models to choose from, ranging from classical waveforms to chaotic sculptures of sound. Further innovative sound shaping options add organic overtones wherever musicians want them.
The KULT sound engine symbolizes and moulds sound as curves in a two dimensional space. This symmetrical, geometric approach to synthesis creates extraordinary sound shaping possibilities. KULT's OSC's add a vast range of sonic timbres which can be intuitively shaped with FM and AM synthesis to produce beautiful, natural organics sources.
Also included is a complex filter selection: Formant Filter, 2 x Comb Filters and 2 x Analog Filters. Plus a creative arpeggiator, full MPE support and a formidable, instinctive modulation system. Music Makers of all types of music will be enchanted with the fully immersive possibilities KULT offers.
