Sinevibes Intros Torsion Hybrid Synthesizer For OS X

SineVibes had introduced Torsion, a new monophonic Audio Unit synthesizer that offers multiple synthesis technologies and modulation sources. Torsion’s sound structure is similar to a traditional subtractive synthesizer – three oscillators going into a low-pass filter and into an amplifier. But Torsion’s oscillators are different: they produce simple additive waves based on just a few partials, which are then… Read More Sinevibes Intros Torsion Hybrid Synthesizer For OS X
