B.Serrano has released the free Adonis 8 voice polyphonic VA / AM / FM synthesizer for Windows.

The interface uses multiple “pages” that let you control various types of synth parameters.

VOICE PAGE

Adonis has 2 independent Voices composed as follows:

• 4 waveforms with tuning, fine pitch and level.
• These waveforms can be combined by 57 differents structures using ring-modulations (AM) and FM.
• Harmonics range set.
• DADSR amplitude envelope.
• Arpegiator (host sync).
• Keyboard settings such as lowest / highest note, bender…
• Sync between the 2 voices.

FILTERS PAGE

• 2 multimodes filters (LP, HP, BP).
• 8 stages (slope).
• Cutoff, resonance, drive and spread knobs.
• Filter 1 can be inject in filter 2.

LFO PAGE

4 LFOs composed as follows:

• Shape, delay, steps (shape aliasing), and rate.
• Manual run or BPM sync by your host.
• LFO 1 & 2 can be modulated by LFO 3 & 4 and envelopes via a matrix.

ENVELOPES PAGE

4 graphical envelopes composed as follows:

• Up to 8 segments with time / level
• Each segment have its own curve
• Realtime display while draging a point.
• Global time knob.
• You can define a sustain stage (or none).
• You can use the envelope by setting a loop point or just in 1 shot.

EFFECTS PAGE

• Phaser / flanger: 4, 8, 12 stages and frequency range.
• Chorus.
• Delay: manual mode or host BPM sync.
• 3 bands Resonators.
• Static HPF.

8 STEPS CV SEQUENCER

• Host BPM sync.
• Semi-tones setting.
• Octave range
• Coarse knobs
• 4 cycles: Forward, reverse, alternate, random.

VOICES MODULATION MATRIX

This matrix is dedicated to the voices.

• Set modulations to each waveforms pitch and / or level.
• Useful for FM sound design.

THE MAIN PANEL

This panel is always visible.

• The main modulations matrix.
• The mixer.
• The Pages selector.
• The values display (while moving a knob / slider).
• MIDI-learn.
• Glide and Master level.
