quietformat has released CERNION, a software wavetable synthesizer for macOS and Windows that combines custom waveform editing, extensive modulation capabilities, two different arpeggiators and full MPE support.
The release also includes CERNION FX, a separate effects plugin that makes the instrument’s processing tools available to other audio sources.
CERNION features two main oscillators, along with sub-oscillator and noise sources. Users can work with built-in waveforms, samples and custom wavetables, including tools for drawing waveforms and editing their harmonic content. Wavetables can contain up to 256 frames.
The modulation system includes four custom LFOs, four envelopes, eight macros and an XY pad. Modulation assignments can have individual depth and response curves, allowing a single modulation source to affect different parameters in different ways.
CERNION also includes two different arpeggiators. GILLA ARP generates evolving patterns designed to maintain harmonic relationships between notes, while CLASSIC ARP provides a conventional 32-step sequencer with adjustable velocity and step length.
Features:
- Two main oscillators with additional sub-oscillator and noise sources
- Custom waveform editing and wavetable creation with up to 256 frames
- Four custom LFOs and four envelopes
- Eight macros and an assignable XY pad
- Modulation matrix with individual depth and response curves
- GILLA ARP evolving arpeggiator
- CLASSIC ARP 32-step sequencer
- Full MPE support with independent per-note expression
- Pitch expression range of up to ±48 semitones
- Eleven built-in effects with serial and parallel routing
- Included CERNION FX companion effects plugin
Pricing & Availability:
CERNION is available for macOS in AU and VST3 formats and for Windows in VST3 format. The introductory price is $99.99 (normally $179.99).
