sonicLAB presents the root of electronic music brought into the now.
Fundamental is a sound synthesis tool combining different roots of electronic music history. Fundamental wave engine is a faithful recreation of a vintange Rohde&Schwartz vacuum tube oscillator ( having been widely used at WDR by Stockhausen )
Fundamental leaves behind the limitiations of the original device by proposing complex modulation possibilities, stochastic distributions addressing the sonic parameters like frequency, gain, panning etc. in continuum, which has not been applicable until now.
Fundamental feels like something Stockhausen, Xenakis and HAL 9000 might have dreamt up after a bender; recalling the past of electronic music through a dynamic modern interpretation of massive german vacuum oscillator.
A test equipment sound is not pure technically. The gain stage has a vacuum tube also the frequencies below 60hz do sound anything but a sine wave. All these are the signature of a vintage sonic richness.
The grounds of this projects have been founded during a visit to Hainbach’s studio in Berlin, who is well known for incorporating these vingate tools of the past in his modern electronic music since a while.
The core idea was basically recreating a test tone equipment sound in software form but with the approach and design which sonicLAB has followed on its previous products.
Fundamental is available for OSX , Windows and iOS platforms as VST3, AU, standalone and AUv3 formats.
All sonicLAB products are 64bit only.
