pureSynth

Each synthesizer has six oscillators to generate the fundamental note plus five harmonics: second, third, fifth, seventh and ninth. The oscillators can generating a sine wave, triangular wave, square wave and sawtooth wave.

In order to control the notes pureSynth has an envelope controller which controls the attack time, decay time, sustain time, release time and sustain level.

The note range accessible from the pad is controllable dragging a finger over it. From midi note 12 to 84 is possible (7 octaves).

One LFO modulator is included in each synthesizer, it modulates the signal from 0 Hz to 20 Hz.

There are two sound effects possible: one distortion to each synthesizer and one delay for whole synth. Delay is controlled from main menu and each synthesizer has a bypass button in order to add this effect.

The BeatBox reproduces up to 12 sample beats and the volume of those beats can be controlled by separate. Those beats are: bell, block, clap, cymbal, hat, 3 difference kicks, misc, shaker and snare.

Sequencers go up until 8 sequences of 16 steps. They are controlled from the main menu. In the same way the BPM control is possible from 100bpm to 600bpm.

The main menu includes a three ways equalizer, in addition to the ON/OFF button and a RESET button which clear all marked notes.

The sound of pureSynth was programed using PureData and the graphical interface using Java.

This app requires a high density screen and upper than 1 GHz velocity processor.
