NAMM 2023: Astral - Fast Convolution Probabilistic Synthesizer

Sonic State met with Arash from Astral at NAMM 2023, where he showcased their new software synthesizer, also called Astral. The synthesizer is based on probability and allows users to sequence their own samples in a probabilistic way. The software has different probability functions for various sound parameters, which users can automate as per their requirements. The software creates a continuous frequency space, meaning users don't have to use specific notes to make music, but can use any frequency in between. Arash demonstrated loading a water sound into the synthesizer turning it into a three-dimensional ambient unified random process, which can be used to create music.

Astral's new software synthesizer is a fast convolution probabilistic synthesizer that takes users' input and creates a unique sound texture. The software has about 30,000 parameters and seven different panels, making it a standalone software rather than a plugin. Users can control the impulse response in any way they want, apply different mathematical functions, and effects like FM, AM, and spectral inversion.
