«Subtractive Synthesis GUI Demo 2» by Bruno Ruviaro

on 09 Sep'13 04:57 in guipatternssynthesis techniquessubtractive synthesis

Translucent "pad" interface to play with subtractive synthesis. White noise triggered by either Impulses of LFPulse, then filtered by a Band Pass Filter (BPF). 16 different Patterns are created using this basic synth.
