Surge 1.2.1

Surge is the proof that a digital recording is just a sequence of numbers. Easily quantifiable as ones and zeros, stored on physical media, combined together into larger numbers to form a continuous stream of data.
Surge - Digital and proud of it
Until you listen to it. Then it becomes real.
SURGE is an instrument capable of generating truly beautiful sequences of numbers. Your ears will agree with us.
More than the sum of its parts
Architecturally speaking, SURGE is a rather complex synthesizer. But because of how its put together its still easy to learn. Once you do, you will turn the sounds in your head to audio faster than ever.
The effortless workflow, attention to detail and the sound quality cant really be appreciated without trying it yourself. We suggest you try the demo!
Main features:
General
- Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid
- Each patch contain two scenes which are seperate instances of the enitre synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layering or split patches.
- Quick category-based patch-browser
- Future proof, comes as both a 32 & 64-bit VST plugin (Windows PC)
- Universal Binary for both VST and AU (Mac)
Factory sounds
- 942 patches
- 177 wavetables
Oscillators
- 3 oscillators/voice
- 6 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sinus, Wavetable, FM, S/H Noise and Audio-input
- The classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dualsaw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and self-sync.
- The FM oscillator consists of 1 carrier, 2 relative modulators and 1 absolute modulator.
- Most algorithms (all except sinus and audio-input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
- Oscillator FM/ringmodulation
- All oscillator algorithms (except FM) are strictly band-limited yet still cover the entire audible spectrum.
- Noise generator with variable spectrum
Filterblock
- • Two filter-units with arrangeable in 7 different configurations
- • Feedback loop
- • Available filter-algorithms: LP12, LP24, LP24L (ladder filter with 1-4 poles), HP12, HP24, BP, Notch, Comb (4 modes), S&H
- • Most filter-algorithms have been improved in v1.2
- • Waveshaper (5 shapes)
Modulation
- • 12 LFO-units available to each voice (6 are running on each voice and 6 are shared for the scene)
- • DAHDSR envelope generators on every LFO-unit
- • 7 deformable LFO-waveforms + 1 drawable/stepsequencer waveform
- • LFO1 allows envelope retriggering when used as stepsequencer
- • Extremely fast and flexible modulation routing. Almost every continuous parameter can be modulated.
Effects
- • 8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts/scene, 2 sends and 2 master effects
- • 9 top-quality algorithms: Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo-image control & limiter), Rotary speaker, Frequency shifter
Version restrictions:
- Approximately every 30 seconds, the output will be garbled.
- Saving patches is disabled.
- Host recall is disabled (this means the host wont remember patches either)
- Fewer patches (full version has about 3 times as many)
- Fewer wavetables
