{"product_id":"sugar-bytes-aparillo","title":"Sugar Bytes - Aparillo","description":"\u003cp\u003eAparillo is Sugar Bytes' 16-voice FM synthesiser, built for cinematic sound design: slow, evolving textures, drones and big moving soundscapes for film, games and ambient music. Its headline feature is the Orbiter, an XY controller that sweeps the whole engine for instant, dramatic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe synth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo FM operators, with different complexity and ratio modes, are shaped by wave folding, wave shifting and formant shifting. A modulatable Scale editor spreads the 16 voices across harmonic structures, so a single note can bloom into a wide, shifting chord. The modulation is built around the differences between voices, which is what keeps the sound alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Orbiter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orbiter pulls strings throughout the engine from one XY pad. Animate it with the mouse or have its position set per note, which gives up to 128 different sounds across your keyboard. It's the fastest way to make Aparillo move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEffects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effect section is a sound source in its own right. The Spacializer, a delay-based pitch resonator, can add a waveguide synth layer. The multimode filter includes comb, vowel and the gritty Dirt modes, followed by a poly autopan, synced delay and reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAparillo excels at the epic and the eerie: glassy metallic swells, shimmering drones and textures that change over time. It isn't designed for punchy basses or straight leads, and FM can be unpredictable, but the 500 presets and the Orbiter make it far easier to steer than classic FM synths.
