description: Diversion is a versatile, high quality software synthesizer, designed for use in any genre of professional electronic music production. Diversion takes the full advantage of modern processors to bring you the perfect sound quality that fits standards of hardware synthesizers.
details: |-
Diversion offers 4 oscillators with a wide range of different waveforms with a near to zero level of aliasing. The oscillators generate sounds in real-time using proprietary algorithms that don't degrade sound quality at high frequencies. All waveforms have two independent parameters X and Y allowing timbre adjustment, and the oscillators also feature FM, RM, wave shaping, and filtering synthesis techniques.

Since version 1.2, Diversion offers a comprehensive Wavetable Editor that allows loading arbitrary single-cycle WAV files. Waveforms can be edited in both time and frequency space with various effects applied. Since version 1.3, Diversion also provides sample playback with granular synthesis and output audio recording.

Two bus processors in Diversion allow transformation of oscillator output into a wide variety of sounds. Each bus processor consists of a stereo filter with many different modes, distortion, and a LO-FI section, supporting popular styles including Trance, Psy, Dub Step, and Ambient.

Diversion uses two flexible FX lines for separated processing of each bus processor's output. Up to 8 effect instances can be stacked in one FX line. Oversampling up to 8X is applied throughout the entire processing path (excluding the FX section), ensuring minimal aliasing even after non-linear processing.

Many parameters in Diversion can be modulated by 4 LFOs, 4 ADSR Envelopes, 4 MSEGs, and one XY-controller called Master Morph, all configurable via a Modulation Matrix. Diversion also features a 32-step Arpeggiator/Sequencer and a 16-step Trance Gate module, MIDI controller support, and host automation.

Tantra is a rhythmic multi-effect plug-in with a rich feature set and high quality processing modules. With Tantra you can get any kind of sound and turn it into a complex rhythmic progression, with lots of movements among the deep produced sound space.

6 high quality effects process audio in Tantra and in response to the applied modulations form rhythmic pulsations in your sounds. All popular effects are included: analog filter, distortion and lo-fi sections, flexible delay and flanger. A special Glitch module brings the modern Stutter effect on board.
The core of Tantra is a set of 8 multi-mode modulators, which generate rhythmic 32-step multi-stage envelopes with adjustable shape and different operating modes.

All the effects are organized as two independent layers, which allows you to produce deep and complex audio rhythms consisting of two sub-patterns. A master equalizer and reverb at the output help shape the final sound.

Thorn offers 3 oscillators that utilize spectral synthesis method. This gives you control over all harmonics involved into the generation process of your sound. The oscillator provides sets of spectral and real-time effects to shape harmonics further. FM, RM, PWM, and Hard Sync are implemented as well.
Thorn is a software synthesizer that was designed to be easy to use and deliver awesome sound. In Thorn, being simple means to be straightforward and provide advanced sonic control at the same time. Intuitive workflow, high quality processing modules, light on the CPU, Thorn is ready to be put at the heart of your mix, in any genre of modern electronic music production.

Sound sources are organized as spectrum tables of 16 frames with ability to edit and morph harmonics. The spectral synthesis gives ability to post-process all the generated harmonics with a special filter to colorize the output.
