Description

Addi is a versatile additive synthesis instrument that reshapes how harmonics behave over time, giving you deep control over pitch, deviation, and partial distribution.

Determine the number of harmonics, their amplitude distribution, and deviations from the ideal harmonic series, and start playing your instrument.

Harmonics Selector: lets you choose the number of harmonics in your signal, from simple tones to complex timbres.

Harmonic Distribution: Shapes the amplitude contour across harmonics, allowing you to sculpt the spectral balance of your sound—from dull to bright, sparse to dense.

Envelope Influence: Defines how strongly the ADSR envelope affects the amplitude of the harmonics, giving expressive control over the harmonic content.

Deviation: Introduces variation to each harmonic’s frequency, creating rich, evolving textures. The amount of deviation is shaped by a custom curve factor that influences how each harmonic strays from its fundamental.

Deviation Glide: Sets the transition time for each harmonic to reach its deviated frequency, enabling smooth or abrupt spectral movement across time.

Pitch Glide: Controls how long it takes for the base pitch to reach its target note, adding fluidity and motion between pitches.

Whether you’re crafting shimmering pads, organic textures, or otherworldly tones, Addi gives you a detailed, responsive harmonic playground.
