What Aparillo does
The instrument arranges synthesis, wave shaping, filtering and effects modulation into one architecture, aimed at cinematic and textural sound design. Its 16 voices run FM synthesis, with formant shifting and wave folding and shifting available for reshaping the timbre.
Two interdependent LFOs with S+H Gravitation drive modulation from 10 sources, and the Orbiter control performs one-touch sound morphing between states.
Key features
- FM synthesis with 16 voices. The sound engine runs sixteen FM voices, so chords and layered textures can be built without reducing polyphony.
- Formant and wave folding. Formant shifting, wave folding and wave shifting reshape the spectrum of each voice.
- Multi-mode filter spacializer. The filter section offers several modes that spread the signal across the stereo field.
- Interdependent LFOs. Two LFOs are linked to each other and to S+H Gravitation, so one modulation source can move another.
- Orbiter morphing. Orbiter morphs between sound states with a single control, useful for live sweeps and transitions.
- Modulation from 10 sources. Ten modulation sources can be routed to the synthesis parameters.
- Komplete Kontrol integration. NKS support lets the presets and parameters be browsed on Komplete Kontrol and Maschine hardware.
Compatibility
Formats are VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support. Minimum OS is macOS 10.12 or Windows 7. A trial is available.
