Guda Audio has released a Windows version of Euterpe, the virtual synthesizer previously released for Mac.
Euterpe is a virtual analog synthesizer with a easy to use GUI, dual band limited oscillators that can each be up to 10 oscillators for a total of 20, multimode filter including classic moog style ladder style low pass resonant filter and built-in effects like echo, reverb and distortion. It has a built-in oscillator syncable oscilloscope for direct visual feedback while tweaking knobs.
Euterpe features
- Polyphonic mode with up to 24 simultaneous notes that should be enough for even the most elaborated master pieces.
- Monophonic mode with adjustable glide/portamento time to make beautiful leads and heavy acid tracks.
- Full midi control with velocity sensitive keys, adjustable vibrato on modulation wheel, and pitch wheel control to move the pitch up/down 1 octave.
- 2 oscillators. Pulse width modulation on square. Freely adjustable oscillators between sine, triangle, saw and square.
- Both oscillators support “multiple oscillators” mode that can be used for super saw sounds and all kind of fattyness.
- Second oscillator can be detuned up or down 2 octaves and have a dedicated knob for finetune.
- Smooth clipping with a limiter to avoid unwanted clicks and digital distortion.
- Classic easy to use “Attack Decay Sustain Release” Envelopes, one for amplitude and one for filter modulation.
- Three resonant filter types, two kind of lowpass filters where one is moog style ladder filter and one highpass filter.
