Klevgrand – Tomofon Synthesizer (Windows)

It’s all about the oscillation

Tomofon works by converting audio files into sets of oscillating waves that then get mapped into specific pitch zones. With this unique process, the synth engine can quickly and easily morph between layers and zones — that’s because pitch zones are populated with waves instead of with ordinary samples. This way, the transitions from zones to layers happens seamlessly and with continuity. All of this compiles into what is known as the Audio Model — the structure that contains organized wavetables. Through the Audio Model, Tomofon derives its unique sound, dynamic properties, and astonishing malleability.

Import and share

Users will quickly find that Tomofon offers unique sonic capabilities not found in many other synthesizer plug-ins. For instance, users can import their own audio files (monophonic translates best) either automatically or manually to create unique and new Audio Models. An automatic import usually denotes a simple one-click process, while manually importing means users can have complete control over what waves end up in what pitch zones. Lastly, you can easily share your Audio Model creations.
