Tensile

What it does

• 16 shapers on every oscillator

  Warp, fold, bit reduction, spectral transforms and more, each re-synthesised band-limited. The oscillators run at 2x oversampling.

• Oscillators that feed each other

  Chain them by add, ring, sync, PM or FM. Multi mode stacks 8 detuned sub-oscillators, and 6 user waves load from .wav or .aif and save inside the program.

• A 16-slot modulation matrix

  46 sources, 13 curves and 282 destinations. 8 envelopes and 6 dual-wave LFOs with 27 shapes and 11 combine modes feed it.

• 250 arp patterns that drag out as MIDI

  Add 25 gate patterns and your own patterns from MIDI files. Drag any pattern into your DAW as a MIDI clip.

• Two filters and an effect chain in any order

  15 filter types each, in parallel or dual series. The chain holds distortion, 11-mode modulation, compressor, three delays, reverb and a 7-band EQ with 30 speaker curves.

• Loads .fxp and .fxb preset banks

  Tensile converts imported programs parameter by parameter. Scala microtuning and many-to-many MIDI learn with 10 configurations are built in.
