Psychic Modulation has released version 1.3 of the Phonec synthesizer plug-in for Windows.

Phonec is best described as an ‘analog flux synthesizer’. Inspired by the mystique of video logo synth scores from worn out VHS tapes, Phonec was primarily designed with character in mind. However Phonec is capable of producing a wide range of sounds such as vintage analogue tones, lo-fi synthscapes, ethereal pads, minimal techno sequences, and synthwave leads and basses.

Changes in Phonec v1.3

• GUI update: aesthetic improvements as well as various fixes.
• Improved sliders, now easier to control.
• Fixed sequencer random mode not working.
• Fixed volume changes when switching Melt modes.
• Fixed problem with panning envelope.
• Fixed various legato/portamento related arp issues.
• Noise level can now go higher.
• HFO velocity was inverted, now fixed.
• Added two new switches to seq; for adding an octave to pitch seq, and inverting filter/amp seq.
• Changed LFO3 target list, ‘Melt’ and ‘Echo Tune’ were not compatible with a polyphonic LFO, caused cpu spikes; added ‘Sub Pitch’.
• Improved presets.
• Includes a separate ‘effect’ version so Cubase users can utilize audio input routing.

Phonec for Windows (VST) costs $39 USD.

Psychic Modulation has announced Phonec, a virtual synthesizer instrument for Windows.

Phonec is an analog synth with lots of character and plenty of unusual features.

Phonec is an analog synth with a particular sound in mind. I got the inspiration from watching old 1980s VHS logos. You know the ones that flash across the screen before a movie. Alot of these had short analogue synth scores, but the fact that most of these were on VHS tape, which if watched today would be a very worn out VHS tape, gave that unstable synth sound an even more bizarre character. In fact I love this sound, and it’s the main inspiration behind the initial concept of Phonec.

However, during development, this concept grew into much more than trying to recreate strange nostalgic sounds from my childhood, it became a really usable synth. Very programmable, with some interesting features uncommon in alot of VAs.

Phonic is scheduled for release mid-August, 2012.
