Oscidia is an AUv3 plugin for iOS which can be loaded into your favorite DAW allowing you to use it as a sound source for any MIDI source. Its wide range of features and oscillator types allow it to produce a vast variety of sounds. In particular, the inclusion of WaveTable greatly expands the traditional wave types and brings a wealth of modulation options. Oscidia has 3 oscillators per voice, and each oscillator can be a different wavetable – all working and morphing together to create some incredibly amazing sounds. Oscidia includes SINE, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, SUPERSAW, SUPERSQUARE, WAVETABLE and ADDITIVE wave types. You can import and export compatible wavetables using drag and drop directly to the WaveTable manager. Wavetables support morphing and warping (phase distortion), all controlled by the Mod Matrix routing. The SINE and TRIANGLE wave types both support several wave folding modes which allow dramatic real-time morphing too. Oscidia also supports 5 filter types which support 12/24dB modes and morphable LP/BP/HP filter modes which can be automated from the Mod Matrix or via the Sequencer. The sequencer itself is very unique and allows up to 3 simultaneous ARPs to play at the same time. Each ARP can directly control the 3 oscillator levels independently per step, as well as the pitch, filter morph, cutoff frequency, probability, gate, note repeat and ties. This allows for some really complex rhythms to be created that are not tied to pitch. Oscidia Features: • 3 Oscillators Per Voice. • Support for Wavetable and Additive synthesis. • WaveTable supports Morph and Warp (Phase Distortion) features. • 4 LFOs Per Voice. • 5 Filter types with 12/24-bit slopes and morphable LP/BP/HP. • 4 ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release ) or FEG (Fluid Envelope Generators). • Wave Folding is available for basic waveforms such as SINE and TRIANGLE. • OSC Sync. • XMod & Ring Mod (on osc1 & osc2). • Additive Synthesis for glass, metallic and bell like tones. • Build in Sequencer (with 3 independent ARPs). • Mod Matrix. • MPE Mode. • Internal Effects - reverb, delay, chorus, Haas, and Phaser effects. • Drag and Drop for import and export presets and wavetables. • Build in Help Manual.
