Roxsyn Selected Specs
Technology
- Revolutionary Metamorphic Guitar/Bass Synthesis Technology
- Special algorithms transform dry guitar signal into synthesized sounds in real time
- No error-prone pitch tracking or limiting guitar-to-MIDI
- Polyphonic
- Carries over all the nuances of playing: bends, slides, vibrato, and more
- No special pickup required: just use any iOS compatible USB or Lightning guitar/audio interface
Synthesizer
- Three metamorphic signal generators ('voices') behave similar to synth oscillators
- Five unique waveforms for each voice
- 4+ octave frequency shiftin ability, using dedicated octave and fine-tune parameters
- Adjustable stereo panning and volume
- Ability to output each voice to either or both filter banks
- Additional instrument-to-synth input for processing instrument signal with synth filters & envelopes
- Noise generator with pink/white selection and adjustable volume
Filters & Envelopes
- Two independently programmable filter banks
- Four analog-modelling filter types per bank: Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and human voice emulating Formant
- Settable filter preamp drive, frequency, resonance and contour
- Dedicated envelope in each bank
- All envelopes are custom designed to work with the characteristics of guitar and bass signals
- Envelopes can receive or ignore trigger off-messages, helping change the way they operate completely
- Envelopes feature additional ability to set a fixed duration for the sustain stage
- Ability to layer or strengthen sounds by routing each voice and intrument-to-synth signal to either or both filter banks
- Dedicated amplitude ("VCA") envelope for modifying the dynamic characteristics of the sound
- VCA envelope can receive output from either or both filter banks, or can be bypassed altogether
- Fully adjustable automatic trigger generator can send on and off messages to the envelopes by following your playing dynamics; it can also reset LFOs when they are in TRIG or SHOT modes
- Option to use an external control (like a MIDI expression pedal or MIDI switch) to send trigger on and off messages
Arpeggiator
- Powerful, easy-to-use arpeggiator specially designed for guitar players
- Transform sustained notes into complex patterns, or layer arp ideas with non-arpeggiated playing
- Use the arp as a rhythmic/trance gate by triggering any or all of the envelopes, and even the LFOs
- 12 individually configurable arp steps
- 8 unique arp stepping algorithms
- Ability to send arp output to any combination of 3 voices, so as to help in layering
- Arp can send trigger-on messages to any of the 4 envelopes, as well as to the LFOs
- Settable note value, swing, and note repeats
- Trigger pattern reset option
Modulation
- Powerful, extensive modulation matrix helps you modify certain synth parameters in real time
- Two independent LFOs with 9 waveforms, BPM-syncing, adjustable phase
- 3 LFO operation modes: continuous, trigger-reset, trigger-one-shot
- Modulation envelope
- 2 MIDI-learnable modulation controllers (MOD Ctrls 1 & 2)
Effects
- Specially designed stereo FX
- 8+2 band graphic equalizer with analog-modeling filters
- Stereo chorus/flanger with BPM-syncing, mode, rate, depth, mix, and stereo spread
- Stereo phaser with BPM-syncing, rate, depth, and stereo spread
- Two-channel delay with independent time, feedback, mix, and pan; BPM-syncing, as well as channel-linking for the time control
- Versatile and powerful algorithmic reverb with continuous roomsize, reverb time, tail dampening, predelay, stereo spread, low cut, and high cut parameters, as well as independent early and late reflection gains
