Audio Damage has released Phosphor 2, a major update to their alphaSyntauri digital synthesizer clone.
Phosphor is modeled on the alphaSyntauri, a vintage digital additive synth for the Apple IIe from the early 80s.
Featuring two additive oscillators (with the original 16 partial complement of the alphaSyntauri, or optionally with 32 or 64 partials), each with its own amp envelope, Phosphor’s topology closely follows the alphaSyntauri, while adding many modern features such as full velocity control, a much more extensive modulation routing system, tempo synced LFOs, a pair of delays, and two monophonic modes.
The noise and oscillators are able to work in the original alphaSyntauri “low-resolution” modes, or can be run in modern high-resolutions. Phosphor can accurately model the original sounds of the alphaSyntauri, yet still provide new paths for sonic exploration.
The Phosphor 2 download includes 32/64-bit VST and VST3, and 64-bit AAX for Windows 8 or greater, and as a 32/64-bit AU/VST/VST3/AAX for OSX (10.8 or greater).

“The oscillators have been totally reworked; that’s the main difference. Up to 64 partials a side, and auto-fill of obvious shapes.”
Hmm. I’ll keep my eye on this as well, maybe the iOS version has some surprises in it. I love Phosphor, not sure if it’s worth upgrading on Mac, but maybe iPad for programing.
I liked the first one… will be keeping my eye on this..
