Description : The original Synclavier is a digital synthesizer that combines several synthesis options: additive, FM, and also the so-called Timbre Frame – in fact it is a resynthesis technology based on combining arbitrary microsamples in a chain, in an arbitrary sequence. Synclavier was actually created as a computer based on a 16-bit microprocessor that connected to a simple five-octave keyboard. The tool was used by Michael Jackson, Steve Wonder, Sting, Frank Zappa, Chick Koria, John McLaughlin, Oscar Peterson, Tony Banks, Mark Knopfler and many others. Hollywood composer Alan Silvestri with the help of Synclavier created the music for the films “Cat’s Eye” and “Predator”.
The basis for sound generation in Sinclair is the “Partial Timbre” method. Each such partial tone can have its own timbre character. Full sound is created by combining several of these components. The prototype used four partial tones, while the virtual instrument uses 12 partial tones.
The sound generation possibilities of a virtual instrument are almost endless, but, of course, considerable work needs to be done to implement them. Some idea of ​​the potential of the tool can be compiled from factory presets, of which a huge amount is recorded, but they do not cover the whole range of its capabilities. Some presets show precisely complex chains of samples, with a multifaceted and continuous “sweep” of the timbre. In general, as always, it all depends on the imagination and perseverance of the musician.
