RawPrime is a physically modeled hybrid synthesizer, built using specific digital and analogue electronic components derived from the 1970s-1980s telecommunications industry. This innovative device looks to replicate the vintage sound characteristics while ensuring the user has access to a tool ripe with modern capabilities. RawPrime generates a substantial amount of aliasing signals on purpose, which serve as its sole sound source. The expressive analogue filter, a comprehensive matrix of modulators, two multi-effect slots, and a creative arpeggiator contribute to an engaging and versatile sound design environment.
Key Features:
- Physical Modeling Simulation: Combines hybrid digital/analogue hardware simulations preserving the original architecture with micro-instabilities.
- 64-bit Processing: Full accuracy for every aspect of the simulation.
- Polyphonic Capabilities: Supports four-voice polyphony, with an optional unison mode, working in both polyphonic and monophonic modes.
- Unique Oscillator Design: Built from lo-fi telecommunications-class NCO and DAC components that intentionally generate overtones through aliasing signals.
- Expressive Filtering: Features a 2-pole resonant low-pass diode-ladder analogue filter and a non-resonant high-pass analogue filter, modeled after real hardware.
- Envelope Generators: Three analogue envelope generators, including one hardwired to the analogue amplifier.
- Digital LFOs: Two assignable digital sinusoidal LFOs with frequency ranges from 0.02 Hz to 30 Hz.
- Modulation Matrix: Full modulation matrix for clear source-destination assignments.
- Built-in Creative Arpeggiator: Note-priority multi-mode arpeggiator enhances user creativity.
- Insert and Master Effects: A range of effects including chorus, flanger, distortion, and digital effects such as bitcrushing with additional tempo-synced delay and resonator-based reverb.
- Presets and GUI: Over 150 factory presets and a user-friendly, vintage microcomputer-styled interface.
- MIDI Automation: Support for sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz, available in multi-size GUI resolutions.
