The Additive Virtual Synthesizer is a software available for Mac OS X and Windows. The software allows users to create virtual sounds using an additive synthesis technique.
One of the unique traits of Morphine is its ability to create sound solely from sine-wave harmonics. Don't let that mislead you though; Morphine can mimic all your Subtractive Synthesis favorites: Square, Saw, and Sine waves. In addition, it's capable of smoothly interpolating a series of these harmonic 'snapshots' in real-time, thus generating its version of 'synthetic samples.'
Program Morphine like a sampler, assign sounds across the keyboard, and create crossfades, stacks, or blends of any sound you desire. With 128 harmonics per voice, Morphine is a four-voice (generator) additive synthesizer with several capabilities.
One of its many capabilities is the 'Morph' part of the synthesizer that allows these four voices to be mixed and morphed under user control. Sounds are generated through spectral 'snapshots' that can be created from any input sample or manually drawn to create unique sounds of any length.
Other capabilities of the Morphine synthesizer include unlimited Keyboard Zones per-Generator, Breakpoints, a specialized noise generator, and Morph/Mix features. You can improve the accuracy and realism of sounds with added effects like Portamento, Distortion, Chorus, Stereo Delay, Reverb and 8-Band Graphic Equalization; all are available simultaneously.
A noteworthy feature of the Morphine application is its compatibility with various plugin formats, including FL Studio, VSTi 2.4, AudioUnit, and Standalone. Regrettably, with all its sophisticated capabilities, Morphine is yet to have the power to make you coffee and tea.
In conclusion, Morphine is a powerful additive synthesizer with several bells and whistles to please any sound enthusiast. Its logical, flexible architecture makes it relatively easy to work with, and its several capabilities and features make it an all-in-one solution for your sound-synthesis needs.
