Audeon announces the availability of the long awaited Mac OS X version of their flagship software synthesizer UFO (Unique Filters and Oscillators).
UFO is built upon Audeon's proprietary TransModal Synthesis technology, which makes sound programming particularly flexible and intuitive:
- The sound is defined by various perceptual attributes such as Periodicity,
Brightness, Noisiness, Chaos, etc. These sound characteristics are mapped to
two-dimensional (XY) control surfaces. Programming a sound comes down to
placing dots on these controllers for getting the desired balance between
these characteristics.
- The timbre of the sound can be modulated graphically: you simply draw
arrows on the control surfaces indicating the way the sound is altered by
the various modulations. UFO's synthesis engine allows hundreds of
simultaneous modulations, offering a great deal of expressivity while
remaining very easy to program thanks to the graphical representation of the
sound.
UFO can be purchased online from Audeon's website. It is
available as a VST plugin and is priced $139/€119.
Try before you buy: PC and Mac demo versions are available for download,
including a beta test release of the upcoming Mac update to Universal
Binary.
A light version of UFO is also available as a shareware (Windows only).
