Fundamental3 welcomes a built-in stochastic sequencer driving all its oscillators as sequencer events with sample accuracy.
A stochastic sequencer calculates its event with probabilistic functions to decide their onset time and durations to distribute them on the sequence time lime.
Also the sequence length can be changed with probabilistic means after each cycle.
On Fundamental3 one can deterministically distribute the events as well, multiply the durations / compress or expand the sequence distribution.
One can select and edit the duration and onset time of each event, freeze the current distribution, and quantize the onset and duration values just like on a DAW.
Fundamental3 offers oscillator cloning, where each oscillator
has a unique clone with custom detuning and unique GEN modulators.
Fundamental3 offers additional set of envelopes which are applied on sequence event apart from the ones on the oscillator gain level mixer.
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 with a genuine instrument design by proposing effective 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 core idea here is was basically recreating an instrument with a test tone equipment sound in software form but with the approach and design which sonicLAB has followed on its previous products.
The initial concept is based actually on sonicLAB PaSSBot.
Fundamental is available for OSX , Windows and iOS platforms as VST3, AU, standalone and AUv3 formats.
All sonicLAB products are 64bit only.
Recommended system : OSX Catalina or higher , Windows10 or higher.
Apple Silicon M1 1st gen. equivalent or better.
