What is Impulse Modeling Synthesis?

This innovative sound generation approach surpasses traditional synthesis methods, unlocking a realm of diverse sounds and immense potential for crafting contemporary music.

While many synthesizers rely on 'subtractive synthesis,' where an oscillator plays a looped waveform passed through a filter, RayBlaster takes a revolutionary path. It employs Convolution-Based Synthesis, a technique where numerous short samples with impulse responses overlap to form intricate sounds. This pioneering method, named 'Impulse Modeling Synthesis' (IMS), stands as a superior alternative to granular synthesis, overcoming detuning issues and ensuring high sound quality with a wealth of musically usable tones.

Sounds

RayBlaster's revolutionary synthesis approach enables the creation of distinctive signature sounds that are utterly unattainable with other synthesizers.

The psychoacoustic model of IMS mirrors how the human brain perceives sounds, resulting in incredibly immersive and even psychedelic auditory experiences.

Included with RayBlaster is an inspiring library featuring over 1100 presets crafted by the world's leading sound designers. Complex sounds like arpeggios, vocals, or drum loops effortlessly synchronize with your track's BPM rate. To facilitate quick access, Tone2 have meticulously organized these presets into logical categories, accessible through a user-friendly patch browser, providing instant access to a vast, ready-to-use sound library.

Modulation

Elevate your tracks with dynamic movement! Easily add a touch of wobble to your sound using the LFO - just drop it onto a knob, and you're set. Modulation is incredibly flexible, whether you prefer a straightforward approach or a more intricate setup. Utilize drag-and-drop or the modulation matrix to link numerous sources to key sound parameters. You can modulate nearly any parameter at audio-rate speed, incorporating internal sources like LFOs, punchy envelopes, step sequencers, and various MIDI signals. With the added midi-learn feature, assigning CC's is a breeze - just right-click and go.

Effects

RayBlaster features an extensive array of effects meticulously designed to enhance the Impulse Modeling Synthesis. The package boasts 44 distinct stereo effects, each finely tuned to deliver top-notch quality. Explore a diverse selection including Reverbs, Delays, Chorus, Ensemble, Phaser, Flanger, Rotary, Compressor, Amp-Sim, Equalizer, Surround-Encode, TranceGate, Resonator, Hypersaw, and more.

Waveforms, Samples & Resynthesis

Not only can you import filter characteristics into RayBlaster's oscillators, but you can also import waveforms from any other synthesizer, offering an unlimited range of waveshapes for real-time morphing. Resynthesize short samples like drum loops or vocal phrases with ease. RayBlaster provides extensive options to synchronize intricate sounds with your track's BPM, allowing real-time manipulation of pitch, timing, and timbre for all your sounds.
