AAS Releases Chromaphone 3

US All-new version of the acoustic object synthesizer for macOS and Windows 28/10/20

Applied Acoustics Systems has announced the official release of Chromaphone 3, which they say is an all-new version of its acoustic object synthesizer for macOS and Windows.

Eric Thibeault, product designer at Applied Acoustics Systems, told us, "Adding depth and dimension was the name of the game for this next iteration of our favorite synthesizer. Chromaphone 3 is now bitimbral. Combining two independent Chromaphone synthesis engines opens up a whole new world in terms of content. We've also added per-layer macros that allow sound designers to make sound variations an integral part of the design process. Our team of top sound designers has put together a brand new factory library which exploits these new possibilities. Additionally, each and every sound was fine-tuned to provide a consistent gain-stage, unity-gain effects, better dynamics, and compelling MIDI-controlled sound transformation assignments. We're positive that you will now enjoy Chromaphone's distinctive sonic signature even more."
