No synthesizer can sound like FireBird+
Firebird+ is not just another synthesizer. It provides a powerful, unique, and innovative synthesis architecture for next-generation sounds never heard before. The innovative user interface allows the creation of impressive custom sounds with a few parameter changes.
437 build-in sounds present a full range of useful workhorse studio standards as well as very special Firebird sounds characterized by multilayered subtle modulations which add new life and dynamics to the sounds.
Firebird can mimic many other virtual synthesizers but none of them can sound like Firebird can. Why?
Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) Synthesis
The new synthesis method is based on a large and expandable repertoire of standard waves like saw or pulse as well as complex waves like multi waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos, and voice samples. These waves can be modified in real-time by e.g. transposing the wave by one or two octaves and adding it to the original wave, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, compressing or expanding the frequency domain of the spectrum, making the wave fat using only one (!) oscillator by transforming each wave into a hyper-wave, selecting some cycles of a sample and moving through them over time (comparable to wavetable synthesis).
Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (recall: with only one oscillator!). In total there are more than 18,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation.
Features
Excellent value for money Very easy to program and easy to use A new, unique sounding synthesis: Harmonic content morphing (HCM) High-end sound quality: Warm, analog, transparent 437 hand picked presets included, over 1000 sounds available 84 oscillator types containing 18,000 morphable waveforms 38 different analogue modeled filter types True stereo mode, 4x unison mode, and up to 8 oscillators per voice Can sound like other synthesis methods - additive, subtractive, AM, FM, phase distortion, supersaw, vocoder, sync Can sound like natural instruments like piano, brass, organs... 23 spectral manipulations or “modifiers” can be applied to the oscillators IQM - intelligent micro tuning for cleaner chords 21 arpeggiator types 13 effect types Skinable user interface
Oscillators
FireBird+ provides 84 different morphable oscillator types in high-end sound quality. They sound warm, analog, digital, transparent or completely unique. Additionally 23 spectral manipulations or “modifiers” can be applied to the oscillators. A fat knob doubles or quadruples the number of oscillators giving up to 8 (!) oscillators per voice.
Filters
FireBird+ comes with 38 different sounding filter types in reference quality:
Lowpass (6-40dB), Analog, Moog, Vocal, Phaser, Comb, EQ, FM, AM, Resample, Elliptic, ...
FireBird+ provides also more complex characteristics for vocal or M-shape filters. Finally, it gives you ADSR- or LFO-modulated phaser-effects, AM- or FM-modulation.
Effects
FireBird+ offeres 13 different effect types. The effects section has several reverb and stereo tab delay variations, chorus, ensemble, flanger, and rotary effects as well as combinations.
Firebird comes with a powerful and easy-to-use arpeggiator.
Intelligent micro tuning
IQM (intelligent micro tuning) is a feature of Firebird which automatically tunes the notes that you play so they play in a different scale and sounds more “fat”. For example when you play C2 and C3 on your keyboard, Firebird will detune both notes slightly which results in a fatter or thicker sounds. IQM also allows chords to be processed to make them sounds more clean.
IQM (intelligent micro tuning) makes chords harmonically cleaner and at the same time more fat.
Expandability
A huge number of additional sounds from Tone2 and 3rd party sound designers is available for FireBird+.
