Melbourne Instruments Updates DELIA Synth

Melbourne Instruments has announced a significant firmware update for Delia, which they say introduces the powerful new Macro Oscillator Mode. They tell us that this major enhancement adds 45 synthesis waveform models, using open-source code from Émilie Gillet's Mutable Instruments' Braids, one of the most celebrated Eurorack synth modules.

Tom Hall, Electronic artist/Sound designer said, "Delia was already something special, but now we have 6-voices of Braids Macros, along with Delia's extensive modulation matrix, the sonic possibilities are limitless."

Here's more details direct from the company...

This new mode dramatically expands Delia's sonic capabilities, unlocking an entirely new world of synthesis, from classic analog textures to cutting-edge digital experimentation. Powered by Delia's innovative architecture; featuring a deep modulation matrix, multi-mode analog filters, morphing capability, and motorized control, the new Macro Oscillator Mode delivers an incredibly versatile hands-on sound design experience unlike any other.

Each waveform model is shaped by two expressive parameters, Timbre and Color, adapted from the original Braids module. These controls affect multiple tonal dimensions simultaneously, producing evolving, complex, and musically responsive sounds. When combined with Delia's 6-voice (12-note) polyphonic and bi-timbral engine, users gain a powerful synthesis platform capable of vast sonic exploration.

Macro Oscillator Mode introduces a diverse palette of waveform types, including:
• Analog VCO emulation
• Additive and digital synthesis
• Vowel/Formant synthesis
• 2-operator FM
• Simulation of string and wind instruments
• Wavetable synthesis with smooth XY interpolation
• Filtered, colored, and pitched noise
• Granular synthesis
• Electronic drum sound simulation

This update elevates Delia to a new level, making it a premium analog-hybrid polysynth -- a powerhouse for experimental, generative, and digital synthesis.

Pricing and Availability:
The Macro Oscillator firmware update is available now for all Delia users via Melbourne Instruments website.
