Fors Pivot v1.2.1 [WiN, MacOSX, LiNUX]

Pivot No-nonsense FM Synth Pivot is an FM synth with three operators, one morphing filter and zero algorithms, designed to be straightforward and joyous to use. Years of research, development and deep love of FM synthesis has gone into picking just the right balance of flexibility and simplicity. It marks another milestone in a long journey of making FM synthesizers that deviate from the norm. Much like its predecessors, it does not aim to replicate or succeed anything but to explore FM in a slightly different way. Lagom In Swedish, this means 'just right', and it's exactly how we feel about 3OP FM. It's a great balance of being able to make complex timbres while being quick to program. Zero algorithms Instead of choosing between a range of pre-defined algorithms, Pivot lets you continuously route the top modulator's output between the other pair. This makes sound design a truly explorable process where you don't have to make any decisions up front. Best of both worlds With a resonant 4-pole morphing filter, Pivot lets you carve out frequencies in an intuitive way that feels right at home. Smoothly mixing between Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass brings a flair that perfectly pairs with the most extreme of FM tones. Matrix modulation Modulate the FM controls to your heart's content with 2 LFOs and 2 ADSR envelopes in a flexible mod matrix routing with up to 6 destinations at once. ... and yes, you can change the color theme.
