Ganymed can be
described best as a "complex modulation sequence synth
based on 3 operator FM Synthesis". Like its little
brother, Vivaldi, it does not compromise sound qualtity
for the sake of faster execution speed. There are no
quick'n'dirty assembler hacks or downscaling
optimizations in Ganymeds code. Users with slower
computers (below 500 Mhz) can still use Ganymed - but
they might only be able to play a few simultaneous
voices. To be able to play the maximum of 32
simultaneous voices an AMD Athlon 1,33 Ghz or faster
will be needed. However, you will get far enough (8
voices) with a PIII 700 Mhz or G4 733 Mhz processor.
The blooo is a VST™2.4 polyphonic software
synthesizer plug-in based on the classic subtractive synthesis
architecture. It is written in native C++ code for high performance even
on "lighter" systems.
