New From Rob Papen, WirePluck Plug-in

WirePluck announced as pluck sounds-specializing synthesizer plug-in.

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

With WirePluck’s UI (User Interface) being laid out in its main screen operational mode for fast editing, creating new inspirational sounds is a breeze with easy access to the most important parameters and ARP (arpeggiator) preset selection. Alternatively, ADVANCED screen operation offers up all available parameters for tweaking.

The three oscillator layers — namely, LAYER 1, LAYER 2, and LAYER 3 — are made up from four selectable SOURCE synthesis types: Wire is a newly-developed sound source that, as implied by name, sounds a little like hitting a wire; String uses a custom Karplus-Strong physical modelling synthesis method that loops a short waveform through a filtered delay line to simulate the sound of a hammered or plucked string or some types of percussion; FM is a three-operator FM (Phase Modulation) synthesizer, albeit one that uniquely adds a PITCH ENV (envelope) control to each oscillator as a wonderful way of adding extra ‘pluck’ to the sound, something somewhat uncommon in classic FM synthesis; and, last but by no means least, Wave, which is a single-oscillator subtractive synthesis setup featuring an array of 26 filter types, including 12dB LowPass. It is perfectly possible, of course, to combine any of those synthesis types in the three layers, with each layer having its own output routing.

WirePluck is included in eXplorer-10 (https://www.robpapen.com/explorer-10.html), the latest version of Rob Papen’s all-encompassing bundle, at no additional cost; existing owners only have to download the latest installer and run it to add WirePluck to their Rob Papen virtual instrument and effect plug-in collection.
