Tone2 recently introduced a new software synth, Rayblaster, that uses an approach to synthesis they call “Impulse Modelling Synthesis”.
This official intro video takes a look at Rayblaster and explores how it works.
Tone2 has introduced RayBlaster – a new software synth, for Mac & Windows, that uses an unusual approach to synthetic sound generation, Impulse Modeling Synthesis (IMS):
Here’s what they have to say about Impulse Modeling Synthesis:
Conventional synthesizers use a looped waveform as the oscillator source, which is then filtered to create your sound, this is known as substractive synthesis.
RayBlaster employs a completely new approach to sound generation, creating its characterful sound from many short bursts of energy, combined to form a more complex sound.This innovative and unique approach to synthesis is very close to what happens within the human inner ear, sounds more authentic and gives you access to a wide range of sounds.
