M-RGT Regenerative Music Tools releases "psyGEN" Granular Synthesizer and Sequencer VSTi for Windows
M-RGT Music Regenerative Music Tools has released psyGEN, the latest instrument in the M-RGT suite of experimental synthesizers. Using a granular synthesis engine it adds extensive Modulation and FX capabilities to take any type of 16-/24-/32-bit .wav file source and turn it into a multi-layered composition of great complexity.
psyGEN is capable of unique sound generation in the creation of experimental ambient sound-scapes, drones, special effects, as well as more traditional synthesizer sounds. Anything from long evolving pad drones to glitchy rhythmic grooves can be easily constructed.
psyGEN comes with approximately 330 samples that can used in the creation of new patches or the user can import their own sample files. Sources can be anything from field recordings, voice recordings, or sounds from other sample sources or synthesizers. As with all M-RGT synthesizers, experimentation is highly recommended.
psyGEN also provides a 16 track sequencer with up to 64 steps for each track. Each track is essentially a separate synthesizer that can be played back in sync with the other tracks. Mini compositions can be made with one just one sequencer patch, dovetailing these tracks together and applying separate Modulation to each track.
