The Powerful Features of Acidome
Osc 1, the "variosc"
Bored by the same old sine, square, sawtooth cliches?
Baffled by the complexity of some top-of-the-line VA synths?
Acidome is all about giving the user flexibility
without confusion.
With this sound generator you can draw a waveform
with the mouse,
or load one of the many shapes available in the included Acidome
Waveform Library.
If it looks boring, edit it directly.
Experiment as much as you want.
You can modify a waveform in realtime -- while you're playing --- and
hear the sound morphing!
Beside
useful Save and Load functions, this wavedraw control features an
invaluable "Fix" button.
You can use it to adjust the DC offset of the waveform, once
you’ve got something you like the sound of.
Why? It helps beef up the sound: DC offset is usually visible in the
waveform as a positive or negative shift of the whole shape.
By correcting the DC offset, you prevent the waste of the available bit
range, which can resulti in a weaker sound.
Acidome product includes the WaveTable Picker, a
tool for you to convert standard WAV files
into templates for the Acidome OSC 1.
As
you’d expect, the "variosc" also includes its own ADSR
envelope, fine tuning,
octave selector and semitone traspose slider, plus a power switch to
mute it if necessary.
Osc 2, the "multiosc"
This sound generator is made from 4 "non band limited"
oscillators with ramp waveform.
You can adjust the amount of detune beetwen them with the "Unispread"
control
for an immediate ‘phat’ classic sound. Dance music,
in particular, calls for this kind of unison voicing,
but
why not try it in other contexts, too?

Pitch Envelope
Pitch sweeps have become an essential
component of electronic music,
giving us a sense of spatial movement, and helping create
swirling effects that enliven sound.
Acidome’s pitch envelope has a wide range, enabling you to
easily adjust your sweeps
through a
range of plus or minus 36 semitones.
You’ll find that if you run the Pitch
envelope with a very short decay time,
you can enhance the attack of a sound, and produce a more percussive
effect.
Filter Stage
Acidome has plenty of filtration built
right in. When you’ve zeroed in on a sound, experiment with
finetuning it
with a LowPass, HighPass, BandPass, BandReject, Peak filter and an
extra LowPass smoother than the first one.
The filter frequency can be modulated by the 16-step LFO which is BPM
syncable for rhythmic effects,
but it can also be smoothed for luscious ambient sweeps.
Effects
Acidome has cool effects: a totally non-boring
Ping-Pong Delay, a Stereo Chorus,
and a 16- step Gate Sequencer to drive groovy pads.
Limiter
Sound getting too hot? VU meters going
nuts? Cool the output down with the built-in limiter.
