Cube Synth vs Zigzag of Fifths

Cube Synth is a groundbreaking new software instrument giving you the power and flexibility of additive synthesis together with easy editing and morphing capabilities. Macro parameters allow you to control this beast with unequalled ease. Intelligent sound morphing capabilities enables you to easily create complex evolving sound scapes, vocal phrases or stunning rhythms simply by choosing up to four sound sources from a predefined set. Then add one of the predefined envelopes and a unique, complex sound preset containing thousands of parameters is created! If you want to dive deeper into the inner secrets of this synthesis monster you can manipulate each parameter individually to get precise control over the sound. A number of high level parameters such as Brightness and Harmonic spread control hundreds of synthesis parameters in a way modeled after the inner workings of natural instruments. Cube Synth gives you also a new method of getting randomly generated sound patches in a way you never experienced before: roll the dice! Every single try gives you a new unique sound patch, really every try, promised… Synthesis • over 400 sound presets • four morphable sound sources • up to 512 partials per voice • harmonic/inharmonic spectra • arbitrary noise spectra • morphable filter banks • 3 Envelopes with tempo sync • 64 time/level segments per envelope Arpeggiator • Uses programmable sequences with up to 32 steps.  • Can trigger single notes and chords. • Unique randomizer generates Arpeggios with 100% usability. • 32 Arpeggios included, unlimited useer arpeggios possible. • For each step you can program tie, accent, transposition and note order Effects • Chorus • Phaser • Overdrive • Ensemble • Echo/Delay • Reverb Global • Audiobus 2 compatible (Input slot) with state saving • Support for Ableton Link. • Inter-app audio compatible (Instrument/Generator) • CoreMIDI / Virtual MIDI • Audio recorder with Metronome. • Upload to SoundCloud and File Export. • Audio pasteboard.

Key signatures are easy with this fun alternative to the circle of fifths! With the Zigzag of Fifths app, you can: - Instantly see which notes belong to every key signature, just by dragging the window across the zigzag. - Visualize how the notes change between key signatures by watching them move on the piano keys. - Listen to major and minor scales to hear how changing the tonic changes the sound, even when the key signature is unchanged. - Explore 7 different patterns in the Zigzag of Fifths, including the order sharps and flats are added to key signatures; relative minors; major 2nd and perfect 5th intervals; and more. - Pick your preferred way to name the notes: English note letter names, Fixed Do solfege, or German note letter names. - Change the color scheme: Match colored instruments, pick a scheme that is better for colorblindness, or use a monochromatic scheme if you prefer notes to be grayscale. To explore Note Teams: Simply drag the window along the Zigzag of Fifths to change which 7 notes are shown within the window. Each set of 7 notes is a Note Team with a unique key signature that shows which notes on the team are sharp or flat. Switch between major and minor modes to change the tonic note, or Team Captain. Listen to the scale to hear how changing the musical mode changes the sound of the Note Team. Make the piano visible to visualize how sharps and flats are added on the piano keyboard. To explore patterns in the Zigzag of Fifths: Cycle through all 7 patterns or jump to a specific pattern by opening the pattern menu (use the 'i' button on the main menu Explore Patterns icon or touch the "Pattern #" title to open the menu). Each pattern has a learn and apply mode. Switch between modes using the right of the 3 central buttons. Patterns: 1. Order sharps and flats are added 2. Note Teams 3. Relative minors 4. Number of sharps/flats in major keys 5. Number of sharps/flats in minor keys 6. Major 2nd intervals 7. Perfect 5th intervals
