{"product_id":"sugar-bytes-obscurium","title":"Sugar Bytes - Obscurium","description":"\u003cp\u003eObscurium is Sugar Bytes' generative synthesiser, for sound designers and producers in ambient, film, games and experimental electronic music who want melodic and chordal ideas that grow on their own. Give it scales and chords and it produces evolving sequences and harmonics, either with its own engine or by playing your other synths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarmony and sequencing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObscurium works from your input: scales and chords set by you, or straight MIDI. Its sequencer then draws patterns in all kinds of ways, with draw tools, the Super Obscure mode, which writes sequences automatically, and Modifiers, which set every parameter of a step at once. Each step can have a different sound. Parameter shifting rotates parameters and their motion lanes, which creates complex, organic changes over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound generators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in engine looks simple but goes a long way. One generator is an analogue-style oscillator with unison, covering saw, pulse and supersaw; the other is FM with a flexible ratio. Both run through the effect section and can be mixed and modulated from the sequencer, across eight voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVST hosting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObscurium can host your own VST2 instruments and send them triggers, pitch and 11 automation lanes. Choose a preset, assign parameters at random or use the Learn function, and your favourite synth becomes part of the generative patch. MIDI out lets it drive other instruments too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObscurium is best at shifting, cinematic sequences, atmospheric pads and unusual melodic lines that you wouldn't play by hand. It's an idea generator first, so expect to steer rather than control every note. Note that hosting is VST2 only.
