DATA SYNTH

Transform Data Into Modern Synthesis

• Four independent data slots, each with its own data set, so one can drive an oscillator while another drives an LFO
  
• Subtractive reads the data as one waveform cycle; Additive reads it as a spectrum of harmonics
  
• Window sliders choose which stretch of the data becomes the waveform, and morph it continuously as they move
  
• Rate, Shift, Bias, and Clip reshape each slot as it is read
  
• Invert, Reverse, and Scramble rewrite the values; Reset restores them exactly as fetched
  
• Raw plays the data without smoothing its highest harmonics, for a brighter, grittier edge
  
• DC plays lopsided data, such as rainfall, across its full range instead of thinning it out

• Four oscillators, each playing a data slot, a basic waveform, or noise, plus a dedicated sub oscillator
  
• Per-oscillator filter, octave, tuning, level, and pan
  
• Oscillator FX: amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation between oscillators
  
• Sub oscillator morphs from sine through triangle and sawtooth to square
  
• Unison with Count, Detune, and stereo Spread
  
• Mono, Glide, and Legato voicing, with full MPE support
  
• Two effect slots with 17 types, from delays and reverbs to saturation, pitch shifting, and a resonant multimode filter
  
• Output Drive, Soft or Hard Clip, Boost, and a limiter at -0.1 dB, on by default

• Four envelopes with adjustable Attack, Decay, and Release curves, and four LFOs
  
• LFO shapes from any data slot, basic and random shapes, or a live stream
  
• Odds: a random shape that only ever lands on its top or bottom, with Depth turning extra travel into probability
  
• 64-slot modulation matrix with velocity, pressure, slide, key tracking, Random, macros, and the Sequencer as sources
  
• Eight nameable macros, a dice that randomizes them, TIME to stretch every envelope and LFO from 0.01x to 10x, and MOTION to scale all modulation at once
  
• Live lines on every modulated control show where the modulation is taking it
  
• Send the envelopes, LFOs, Sequencer, and incoming streams out over OSC to Max, visuals, lighting, or another Data Synth
• MPE-enabled and ready for modern musical expression
  

• Reads a data slot left to right as a melody, playing Data Synth's own voices
  
• Pitch, Velocity, Length, Chance, Rate, and Gate follow the data or hold a fixed value
  
• Seven extra chord voices, set in scale degrees so the harmony stays in key
  
• Euclidean and Count rhythm generators, Swing, and five read directions
  
• Sequence runs with the transport; Arpeggiator, Gate, Sidechain, and two pause modes respond to your keyboard
  
• Key and Scale, or Scala tuning files from the tunings folder shared with Data Path and Data FX
  
• Export the sequence by dragging it onto a track or saving a MIDI file
  
• Send the sequence as OSC and MIDI CC, with or without its notes

• Choose a Type, a Source, and a Series: weather, environment, finance, health, and more
  
• Math: 47 generative algorithms in seven families, calculated instantly with no fetch, every control automatable
  
• Your own data: Spreadsheet, Image, Text, Numbers, Draw, Audio, and Video
  
• Stream: live Open Sound Control from a phone, a controller, or other software, including Data Tap for iPhone and iPad, coming soon to the App Store
  
• Presets in the .mfdata format open in Data Path and Data FX too, carrying the data selection with them
