![]() ![]() Once you do wrap your head around it, you’ll find it incredibly satisfying to jam with. Of all of Alpha’s features, the motion function is the toughest to get to grips with in my opinion. You can create some really unique sounds with this thing. You do this by adjusting the steps in the sequencer and picking a perimeter for it to link to. Inspired by modular synthesizers of yore, the Motion Sequencer offers a huge amount of rhythmic and expressive modulation possibilities. The Modulation panel has you adjusting two LFO’s, by aligning them to different parameters you set up in the previous panels. They’ve essentially jammed a mini version of that app into Alpha here, and it works really really well. If you’ve used BLEASS’ Filter app before, then the Filter panel will look very familiar. You can adjust how much of these oscillators are present in the mix section and the amp section has you adjusting the ADSR. The oscillators panel allows you to adjust the settings for your two default oscillators, plus you can throw a third into the mix if you wish. ![]() The general tab allows you to adjust polyphonic and retrigger settings for your sounds, as well as giving you velocity options and access to Alpha’s pretty robust arpeggiator. BLEASS have also made it really easy to create, share and import presets, so when you create a killer sound (and you will!), you can pass it on for others to enjoy too.Ĭreating those killer sounds is a straightforward affair. No two presets are the same and range from sub bass sounds, to trashy bit-crushed leads to ethereal soundscapes and everything in between. ![]() “…despite the large amount of customization options on offer, you’ll rarely feel overwhelmed or lost, which can be a concern if you’re new to this sort of thing.”īLEASS have been really clever here, as asking such a varied group of audio folks to create these presets really highlights how versatile this app is. You’ll also find handcrafted presets from Electronisounds, La phaze, Mark Lion, NU-Trix the synth guy, The Beat Community, Torley and JORDAN RUDESS – the keyboardist for progressive metal band, DREAM THEATRE. While there are some in house Presets that come bundled with the synth, BLEASS have also partnered with a rag tag group of sound designers, Youtube personalities, audio enthusiasts and an actual bona fide rock star to create a handful of presets each.īLEASS were kind enough to give ME the opportunity to create five presets for Alpha, and you’ll find my selection available for use in the release version of this synth app. Left of the General panel is where you’ll find Alpha’s presets, but these aren’t just any presets. General, Oscillators, Filters, Modulation, Motion and a FX panel.BLEASS’s visual approach to things like filters, LFOs and ADSR makes fine tuning your sounds in each of these panels a breeze.
