Poseidon Synth 1.5.5

Poseidon Synth - The Ocean of Sound

For all creatures in the ocean of sound - Sonic textures from other worlds, Analog signature sounds, Cut-through-the-mix leads and silkily smooth pads: Poseidon sets a new standard for sound design and ease of use. All of this was made possible through a combination of the familiar, conceptual simplicity of the analog synthesis and our frequency domain-based Spectral modeling synthesis technology.

Spectral model oscillator

Select a basic sound model from over a hundred delivered with Poseidon. The basic sound model determines the sound characteristic you want to start: taking an artificial model like “Sawtooth” gives you analog-style sounds. Use complex models from analyzed samples for earth-shaking ambients and evolving pads.

Model parameters

High-level controls allow for changing the spectral shape, the harmonicity and balance the level of residual noise and spectral amount of the oscillator model.

F-Domain Filter

The newly developed F-Domain filter allows for drastic changes in the resulting sound spectrum. Five filter types including lowpass/highpass characteristic can be used to shape the sound. They have the usual controls like cutoff but also very unusual ones like a variable slope ranging from 0 dB to 72 dB / Octave and independent controls for resonance and bandwidth! This kind of controls are only possible in the context of our F-Domain synthesis technology. This results in an extremely clear filter sound with breathtaking fast modulation possibilities.

The filter type “Inverse” interprets the sound model as a "Source" and a resonant body "Filter". The cutoff parameter shifts the filter base - this is the equivalent to making the instrument body smaller or bigger.

Spatializer

This simple control gives your sound a distinctive moving distribution in the stereo panorama. Every atomic sound particle has its own path through space!
