Opulent Audio releases bLO-FIsh v1.0

Opulent Audio has announced the release of bLO-FIsh, a 3 Oscillator LO-FI synth. Not an emulation of any particular "chip", bLO-FIsh incorporates classic chip-type (8 bit, video game, etc.) sounds with traditional analog synth elements.

Generators:

• 3 Wave Oscillators with Sine, Saw, Ramp, Triangle, Square and two different widths of Pulse waves.
• Audio rate is switchable between standard 16 bit/44 khz and 8 bit/22 khz LO-FI mode.
• Graphic amplitude ADSRs and volume controls.
• Output routing to one filter, both filters, or no filter.
• Hard sync feedback loop.

Filters:

• 2 Parallel SV Filters with Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Band Reject modes.
• Graphic ADSRs routable to cutoff, resonance, or both. Knobs to control amount of envelope applied.
• Pan and volume controls.

Effects section:

• No frills distortion device.
• Efficient reverb unit. Normal, gated and freeze modes.

Modulation devices:

• 2 Tempo-synced LFOs with wave mod options (shaping, folding).
• 1 Free-tempo LFO, 2 Graphic ADSRs (modulation also from velocity, aftertouch and mod wheel).
• 16 step tempo sync gate that mixes independently with all 3 oscillators.
• 6 slot modulation matrix with 8 sources and 63 targets.

More:

• Designed to be quick and easy to use. Large, visible, color coded interface.
• Most parameters are controllable via MIDI.
• Monophonic or 8 voice polyphonic operation with retrigger and portamento/glide.
