subtractive synth
Aspect is a 32-note polyphonic software instrument. It combines a subtractive synth engine with a semi-modular architecture and simple, clean interface that allows practically anything to be used as a modulation source and destination.
Features :
- Flexible semi-modular architecture.
- 2 analogue-style oscillators, noise generator, 2 filters, 3 envelopes and 3 sync-able LFOs per voice.
- Unison mode allows stacking of voices for bigger sounds.
- Intuitive interface simplifies building and understanding of complex patches.
- MIDI Learn mode for easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller.
- Over 150 presets.

- New oscillators with improved sound due to significantly reduced aliasing.
- Backwards compatibility options (for Registered Users only) to enable the use of legacy oscillators for perfect compatibility with older patches.
- Reduced CPU usage: generally around 10% reduction, but up to 20% in some cases.
- Massively reduced memory usage.
- Aspect oscillators are now tuned down an octave to bring them more into line with other synthesizers. Older patches will still play at the tuning they were created with.
- Fixed bug where very long release envelopes stop rather abruptly.
- Fixed bug in Sonar where notes are left hanging when the Sonar Transport is stopped.
- Factory presets are now categorized and sorted.
- Rotary controls can now be tweaked to a finer degree with the mouse wheel by holding Shift.
- Fixed bug where notes sustained over a sample rate change from 96KHz to 88KHz would play at the incorrect pitch.
- Fixed bug that could cause a lock under some Linux VST hosts the first time Aspect is scanned.
