Software synthesizer

Looking for the perfect balance between Versatility, Expressivity and Simplicity?

Combining unique sound synthesis technology and a very intuitive user interface concept, UFO is a very powerful yet extremely easy to use software synthesizer that looks like nothing you've seen before... hence its name.

How it works

Thanks to our proprietary TransModal Synthesis^TM technology, you can describe the main characteristics of your sound by balancing perceptual attributes like Brightness, Periodicity, Noisiness, Resonance, Chaos or Transient duration. To do so, just click once on each screen and slider to position the corresponding cursors.

Transmodal synthesis power resides in modulation: you can modulate any of aspect of the sound character over time (with LFOs and envelopes) or depending on the way you play (velocity, aftertouch, etc). However, dealing with these hundreds of simultaneous timbre modulations UFO offers couldn't be easier. First, you select a modulation source:

Then you draw arrows to show how you want the sound to be altered by this modulation source:

To edit a modulation source, just click on it: its parameters will show in the main display

To each modulation source corresponds a color: red = envelope 1, magenta = wheel, and so on. Therefore it is very easy to have an overview of all the characteristics of your sound

Another cool feature is Morphing: simply draw magenta arrows to define the sound you will hear when the wheel is at its rightmost position. You can then use the wheel to "morph" between the default sound and this alternate sound, the characteristics of the hybrid sound being shown in real-time by magenta dots.

Programming UFO is that simple! For more info, you can also watch our video tutorial below.

UFO is currently available as a VST plugin for PC (Windows) and Mac (OS X). You can also run it in standalone mode thanks to SAVIhost (available in the Download section)
