microTERA 1.0

Waveshaping Synthesis represents a sophisticated approach to distortion synthesis, adept at generating dynamic spectra in a controlled manner. This technique allows for the manipulation of the sound spectrum based on amplitude variations. A straightforward illustration of this method can be observed in the clipping effect produced by overdriving an audio amplifier.

Notably, this technique can yield a remarkable diversity of distinctive sounds that are challenging to replicate using contemporary synthesizers.

microTERA introduces an innovative method for obtaining randomly generated sound patches, enhancing the user experience with its unique "roll the dice" feature. Each attempt guarantees a new and exclusive sound patch, underscoring the system's originality.
