NEMESIS 3 – NEO FM SYNTHESIZER
Nemesis features pristine tonal quality and offers sonic possibilities far beyond the scope of conventional FM synthesizers. A uniquely silky signature sound is generated by its engine. The synthesizer is capable of providing warm, smooth, and creamy tones, as well as the classic digital sounds FM synthesis, is well-known for. Nemesis comes with a huge and inspiring sound library, built by professional sound designers.
Sounds and Synthesis
Nemesis features pristine tonal quality and offers sonic possibilities far beyond the scope of conventional digital synthesizers. A uniquely silky signature sound is generated by its engine. The synthesizer is capable of providing warm, smooth, and creamy tones as well as the classic metallic and cold sounds FM synthesis is known for. Nemesis has a huge sonic range, since it is capable to do a massive number of digital synthesis-methods:
- Neo-FM (an innovative approach exclusive to Nemesis)
- "FM-synthesis" (known from the phase-modulation in the Yamaha DX series)
- True FM-synthesis (known from analog synths)
- PM (true alias-free phase-modulation)
- Waveshaping (known from the Korg 01/W)
- Additive synthesis (known from the Kawai K1)
- Phase-Distortion (known from the Casio CZ)
- Formant-Synthesis (known from the Yamaha FS1R)
- Crossblending Waveforms (known from the Waldorf Microwave)
- PWM (unlike conventional synths Nemesis can do PWM with any Waveform, not just Squarewaves)
- Ring-Modulation
- Resynthesis of Waveforms
- Resonance (exclusive to Nemesis
The combination of the different synthesis-methods and the possibility to import your own content open up undreamt-of possibilities for you.
Several play-modes such as polyphonic, mono & legato, true 4x stereo unison complement the wide range of synthesis-modes and waveforms. Your possibilities are litterally unlimited.
Did you know that the DX7 is no FM-synth?
From a technical perspective, "FM synthesizers" like the DX7 are not really FM synths. Instead, they use a sometimes similar sounding technique called phase-modulation (PM) to generate sounds. The DX7 was advertised as a "FM synthesizer" for marketing reasons. Later many other companies adopted this popular but technically incorrect term in their marketing.
A couple of analog synthesizers can produce true FM. They do not suffer from aliasing, but they do suffer from slightly detuned oscillators (drift). This leads to very disharmonic FM sidebands. Most of these sounds are musically unusable.
The innovative NeoFM approach combines the advantages of both worlds without taking on their respective weaknesses. It's now easier than ever to achieve great-sounding results.
EFFECTS
There are 48 high-quality effects available that can be combined with each other. Flexible routing options complete the extensive effects section.
The innovative ducking-module makes your mix more transparent and rich by dynamically fading out reverb-tails.
Nemesis offers smart-micro-tuning, which automatically analyzes the notes played to improve the sound of chords. It 'just works' - you do not need to take care of anything.
An optional psychoacoustic module gives your tracks more kick and volume.
Nemesis has a gate section for creating rhythmic patterns. Extended functions such as contour, fading, swing and shuffle allow you to fine-tune the sounds perfectly.
MODULATION
By using drag & drop or the matrix, Nemesis allows you to connect dozens of modulation sources to sound parameters. Modulate almost any parameter up into the audio-rate speed, from internal modulation sources like the LFOs, to a wide variety of MIDI messages. We've also included midi-learn, so assigning CC's is as simple as a right-click.
ARPEGGIATOR
The arpeggiator in Nemesis is inspiring, powerful and easy to use. Just select your notes inside the note sequencer as you normally would and choose the play direction. The arpeggiator also supports optional advanced features such as auto-chords, polyphonic playback, glides, swing or matrix integration.
