Xen-Arts has
introduced IVOR – a two-oscillator
subtractive synthesizer that features full-controller
MIDI Pitch Microtuning using MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard).
Any MIDI Note Number can be freely microtuned to any
desired pitch across the MIDI range, enabling musicians
and composers to explore the expressive possibilities of
composing music with alternative intonation systems.
Features
A ‘knob-less’ design featuring slider
controls only, which enables intuitive direct
control with a computer mouse.
A dedicated control signal system mapped to
the most important synthesis functions.
Settings are made by typing values into
fields, dropdown lists, left-and-right arrows,
switches and sliders.
Enables musicians to specify precise
microtonal pitch-bend settings.
Features arbitrary microtonal oscillator
transposition settings.
Velocity modulation of harmonics enables
dynamically playing harmonics of the fundamental
pitch.
IVOR is a
freeware 32-bit VSTi for Windows XP or higher and
includes a detailed instruction manual, 98 factory
patches and 54 microtonal tunings.
