Description : Rich and bold sound thanks to a non-standard scheme of operation from three oscillators.
Developers from SoundSpot studio released a new synthesizer SoundSpot UNION. According to the creators, UNION is the “next-generation table-wave synthesizer”. Today, every second plugin calls itself a tool of the next generation, but the developers at SoundSpot justify their big words with a non-standard UNION working scheme.
The synthesizer is equipped with a table-wave generator, which allows you to harmoniously enrich the sets of tables at the outputs of the main oscillators. The synthesizer is based on a pair of analog modeling oscillators with six sound waveforms and 32 voices. By mixing the signals of both oscillators, users generate new tabular waveforms of sound that can be used on the third oscillator.
Two oscillators are equipped with their own sections of filtering, modulation and ADSR envelopes. Sections received a graphical interface that simplifies interaction with them. In addition to this, both oscillators received four effects: phaser, delay, distortion and reverb. Users can work with oscillators both simultaneously and separately.
The third oscillator combines the signals of the first two, combines them with effects and generates a special table of waves. You can process the resulting signal in the modulation and ADSR envelope sections, as well as in a special morphing section. The final sound of the three oscillators can be mixed in any proportions to get a unique sound. The final signal can be processed again in a separate section of nine effects at the output.
SoundSpot UNION does not suffer from a lack of features. Despite this, using the synthesizer is simple – the interface is clean and clear, nothing more. For the first study of the tool, the developers provided a set of dozens of different presets, demonstrating all the features of UNION. Presets sound rich and bold, easily fit into existing mixes.
