New Digital Frame Synthesizer by Max for Cats

maxforcats has announced a new 8 voice synthesizer, called NDF or New Digital Frame. The video has an overview from Christian himself, going over the partials, functions and features of the synth, all of which is described below. It sounds great, and is available now for around £20 from his Gumroad store. 

NDF (New Digital Frame) is an eight-voice Max for Live synthesizer built on 16 sine partials stored across 8 timbre frames. Each partial has its own amplitude, ratio, FM depth, pan, shape, detune, decay and onset delay, and a frame-morph envelope blends smoothly between the frames over the life of a note.

The sound can be crossfaded with an FM voice and shaped by a morphing seven-mode filter, chorus, sample-rate reduction, a wavefolder and two reverbs. Three modulation matrices, two LFOs and MPE sources (per-note bend, slide, pressure) drive it.

Max for Cats crafts Software Instruments, Effects, MIDI devices, Sound Design and Samples for Ableton Live. midierror interviewed him not long ago, discussing his extensive career with Ableton, and his role in taking Max4Live from being a pipe dream to a reality. Listen here or on youtube below:
