Tiagolr Rippler is a new free physical modeling Synthesizer plugin for macOS, Linux, and Windows, inspired by the AAS Chromaphone 3.
Tiagolr has made a name for himself in the open-source and free plugin world over the past year. For example, he released RipplerX, a free physical modeling synthesizer based on the AAS Chromaphone.
He has now continued this in the new Tiagolr Rippler physical modeling Synthesizer. This one is also free.
This synth is still under construction, please wait for 1.0.0 release. The Beta versions on release page are set to brick themselves after three months from build date (soon).
This synth was designed as a commercial product, last few days decided to release as freeware but there is the possibility of an agreement with a plugin company. Thanks for your time,
Tilr
Tiagolr Rippler
Rippler is a new free 32-voice physical modeling Synthesizer plugin for macOS, Linux, and Windows. The core of Tiagolr Rippler is heavily inspired by the Chromaphone 3 Synthesizer plugin.
Like the inspiration, it has two independent layers, each with a powerful synth voice and its own gain and pan controls.
Each voice consists of an exciter and resonator section. The exciter section lets you choose between a sample-based mallet with sample import and a noise generator. Both exciters can be tweaked with various parameters.
Then, the resonator features 12 acoustic resonator models: String, Beam, Squared, Bell, Membrane, Plate, Drumhead, Djembe, Vibraphone, Marimba, Open Tube, Closed Tube, and Manual. With the latter, you can craft your own resonator.
Modulation & Shaping
A modulation engine is also part of the new Tiagolr Rippler Synthesizer. It houses four ADSR envelopes and four multi-wave LFOs alongside velocity, keytrack, aftertouch with MPE, and randomization.
Modulators can be easily mapped to parameters using drag-and-drop. In a modulation matrix, you easily adjust the map, power, bi-polarity, amount, and the destination. Further, it has micro-tuning and MTS support.
A manual mode allows you to create user-defined tunings. That’s not all that Rippler features.
The big brother of Ripplerx also includes an impressive per-layer multi-FX section with nine algorithms: vibrato, stereoizer, compressor, distortion, tremolo, chorus, delay, reverb, and EQ.
On top of that, you also have a master multi-FX section with almost the same effects. Lastly, there is a snapshot morphing, allowing you to morph between patches.
