The Plugin Minute, a YouTube video format that offers short sound demos of virtual instrument & effect plugins. This episode features ArcSyn by SPC Plugins!
The Synthesizer plugin market is huge. Many companies, small or large, offer a variety. From wavetable, FM, virtual analog to multi-engine synths. An underdog in this area is ArcSyn from the UK-based developer SPC Plugins.
ArcSyn does not have the most beautiful interface design, but has a very good and versatile engine. It offers a wide range of oscillator engine/waveforms ranging from classic virtual analog, FM, bit-noise…, many unique filter types, envelopes and LFO’s that can be used as simple envelope/LFO or as powerful modulation sequencer. To refine the sounds, it comes with a good selection of different effect processors.
Highlight for sure is here the modulation sequencer where it’s possible to use for each step a different waveform. This gives you a lot of deep sound design options and a big playroom for unusual complex tones.
