Synth
Two FM Operators give birth to waveforms so complex it’s like they have a life of their own.
Different FM Complexity/ and Ratio Modes, Waveshaping, Folding, Formant Shifting, Complex LFOs and the Orbiter deliver sonic spectacles that are sure to blow you out of your seat.
A modulatable Scale editor creates unbelievable unison spreads with the deepest of harmonic structures, stacking up to a 16 voice orchestra from another planet.
Orbiter
Total control for an almost unlimited range of sounds.
The Orbiter pulls strings throughout the engine putting all the power at your fingertips, with an XY pad to control a massive, record-ready engine.
By mouse animation or position per note (128 different sound sounds from your keyboard!), you will discover exquisite sounds and create unbelievable sonic motions.
FX
The effect section is a sound source in its own right. The Spacializer, a delay-based pitch resonator, can generate an additional synth layer per wave-guide synthesis.
Besides the typical specialties like Comb and Vowel, the Multi-Mode filter dishes up the super-evil Dirt HP/BP/LPs, that bubble over with spectral grit.
The Poly-Autopan, synced Delay, and our best Reverb yet, will add space and air to your precious audio produce.
Modulation
The sole focus of the modulation lies on the diversity of the 16 independent synth voices. As freely definable layers of sound, they will unfold a vast sonic biotope.
The Envelopes show off user definable slopes, looping modes, and polyphonic parameter modulation. The dual Complex LFO brings along some specialties like FM, Gravitation, Oneshot, S+H/Quantize, and the beautifully chaotic Collision Mode.
The ARP is interwoven with the engine to pick, pluck and extract rhythmic and melodic structures.

Check out the demo sounds – Pure Aparillo sound without additives! DavidF, a French sound designer and 3D artist (who created the nanobot for the video as well as many great presets), even made a mini album with Aparillo as the only sound generator. Make sure you hear this! Mini-Album!
“I’ve nicknamed it the cinematic machine. Everytime I randomize the Orbiter on a preset it reminds me of some movie – from fantasy to mystery to horror. It’s like a digital version of the Apprehension Engine.” Tom Cosm
