PX1 FM Synth vs REVE Model 1

PX1 is a dual-engine FM synthesizer inspired by the classic 6-operator digital synths of the 1980s. Each engine features six operators, 32 algorithms, and full envelope control — giving you everything from glassy electric pianos and punchy basses to evolving pads and metallic bells. What makes PX1 special is the dual-engine architecture. Two completely independent FM voices run side by side. Copy one engine to the other, make subtle changes, then use the Spread control to place them across the stereo field. The result is a lush, wide sound that a single FM engine simply cannot produce. FEATURES • Two independent 6-operator FM engines • 32 classic FM algorithms • Per-operator envelopes (4 rates + 4 levels) • Per-operator pan for detailed stereo placement • Five macro knobs — Brightness, Touch, Attack, Decay, Spread • Copy/Paste between engines for instant layering • Random patch generator exploring the classic FM sound palette • Built-in reverb (Size, Damp, Amount) • Mono, Legato, and Portamento modes • LFO with triangle, saw, square, and random waveforms • Pitch bend range and transpose controls • Key velocity sensitivity per operator • Keyboard rate scaling and level scaling • Operator Key Sync on/off for consistent or organic attacks AUv3 PLUGIN PX1 works as a standalone instrument and as an Audio Unit v3 plugin. Load it directly inside GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, or any AUv3-compatible host. Full parameter automation is supported — record knob movements in your DAW and play them back. DESIGNED FOR MUSICIANS The interface stays close to the original FM programming model that experienced synthesists know, while macro controls make it approachable for anyone. Turn one knob and shape the entire sound; dive into individual operators when you want surgical control.

The REVE Model 1 is an ambient drone soundscape machine, built around a synth and echo machine that turns a single note into a slowly evolving world. Play a single note or chord, arpegiatte it, and wait as a simple phrase unfolds into a dark cinematic drone, a meditative texture for sound bathing, or something stranger you didn't plan on. Push the echo repeats toward infinite, and let it rip. Want to hear REVE Model 1 before purchasing? Try the lite version at http://revemodel1.davebokil.com/ FULL ANALOG-STYLE SYNTH ENGINE VCO — Range switch (16', 8', 4', 2'), Tune, Pulse Width, and a Manual/Envelope PWM source switch. Source Mixer — independent levels for Saw, Pulse, Sub, and Noise, plus a switchable sub-oscillator mode (−1 octave square, −2 octave square, −2 octave pulse). Filter — 20Hz–20kHz cutoff and Resonance, Envelope amount, Key Follow, and a dedicated Filter LFO. Envelope + VCA — full ADSR, with a VCA mode switch for Envelope or Gate. LFO — Triangle, Square, Sample & Hold, or Noise waveforms, with Rate, Depth, and a to-pitch routing toggle. Arpeggiator — Off/Up/Down/Up-Down modes, 1–4 octave range, adjustable rate, and Hold (latch). THE ECHO — THE HEART OF THE INSTRUMENT Delay/looping built to be played, not just heard: Repeat (feedback) that goes all the way to infinite sustain, delay time up to 4 seconds, and independent volume control. Push it toward infinite and a phrase stops being a phrase: it becomes a drone, a drift, a texture that keeps changing while your hands are free to reshape it. An output limiter with Threshold, Ceiling, and a gain-reduction meter — keeps things from clipping as the repeats stack up, no matter how far into the red you push it. PLAY IT LIKE AN INSTRUMENT A touch keyboard with real glissando — slide across keys instead of just tapping them — adjustable visible octave range and key span, and a Hold/latch mode so a note can ring on its own while both hands stay on the knobs. A pitch bend lever has independent VCO/VCF sensitivity, and portamento (glide) time is adjustable. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no network access, no accounts, no in-app purchases.
