Glitchmachines has announced the release of new FM synthesizer focused on experimental sound design and electronic music production.
Capable of generating an incredibly diverse and expressive range of tones and timbres, Skein takes an unconventional approach with a multitude of powerful modulation sources and a variety of processors such as distortion, bit crusher, chorus, phaser, delay, reverb and buffer effects.
Skein features 4 operators with skew controls and noise, as well as a flexible modulation matrix with per-cell modulation, per-operator feedback and eight user-definable algorithm presets. Key parameters can be targeted by numerous modulation sources such as 4 LFOs with 15 wave shapes, 4 modulation sequencers with various utilities and up to 32 steps, and 4 multi-mode envelopes.
Easily shape and polish patches via two versatile multi-mode filters, as well as an effects processing chain that features 4 multi-effects with local randomizers and a reconfigurable chain order interface.
Skein is available in VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac, priced $89 USD.
