- 20:24Two filters, and routing oscillators through them in series or parallel
- 22:55The looping FEG envelopes riding a note up and back
- 25:12Double-tapping any knob to assign an LFO, the core of the modulation system

What it does
A six-voice virtual analog synth with three oscillators that morph continuously between waveform shapes, with warp and skew on top, plus FM and a noise source. Two filters can be fed in series or parallel from any oscillator. Modulation is the point: two ADSRs, two looping envelopes, four LFOs, sample and hold and eight named macros, and almost any knob can be double-tapped to accept a source. It runs standalone or as an AUv3 and was built around MPE.
In the demo
Jade builds a patch from a single oscillator outward, adding the second and third, the drive stage and both filters. She then wires one LFO to three separate controls, groups them under a named macro, maps delay feedback to an XY pad, and runs the factory pads and bass banks.
Worth knowing
Six voices is the ceiling, and the two-page layout means half the controls are always off-screen. Anyone who wants presets rather than patching will use a fraction of it.
