Karp is a plucked string synthesizer based on the classic Karplus-Strong algorithm, compatible with MPE pitch bend when supported by the DAW.

Karp is built for performance. Graphics run smoothly on the GPU, freeing up the CPU for audio processing.

Features:

  • Decay: The time it takes for the note to fully decay (high pitched or very damped notes may decay faster).
  • Damping: The filter frequency of the lowpass-filter in the Karplus-Strong feedback loop + the noisiness of the exciter.
  • Enable MPE: Enable MIDI Polyphonic Expression. Karp allows per-note pitch bend control with MPE. This must be enabled within Karp and within your DAW. For example, to enable MPE in Ableton 11, right click Karp's device title bar within your track signal chain and select 'Enable MPE Mode' from the dropdown.

A simplistic synth which offers nothing new in any way. IMO not even worth a free download given how many far more capable free synths are out there which can produce the few simple sounds this does and far more.
