Working this way to produce waveforms for the Oscillator is an example of Additive Synthesis. The operators in Image Line Sytrus contain a fully-featured harmonics editor in which you can define an oscillator shape with up to 128 harmonics, either by drawing the harmonics manually or by analyzing external samples. The module supports full articulation section (envelopes and mappings of volume/pitch/phase, etc.) The operator (oscillator) modules are central to the Sytrus synthesis engine as this section is used to define the operator shape and pitch. In FM Synthesis Oscillators are called 'Operators', this is because they can be used to modulate other operator (oscillator)s. It provides less experienced users with easy to use global filter and volume envelope levels, allowing them to adjust the existing patches to their preferences, even if they lack experience in the programming of FM synthesizers. The main module contains some global settings for the current patch. Sounds cover - Arps, Bass, Bell, Brass, Chromatics, Drum, DX7, Experimental, FX, Guitar, Orchestral, Organ, Pad, Percussion, Piano, Plucked, Sequence, Synth, String, Wind. With over 500 hand-picked presets, the Image Line Sytrus is ready to contribute to any genre immediately upon installation. The filter units are optionally followed by a Chorus, Delay & Reverb unit. The Image Line Sytrus features 3 independent, chainable, filter units, each containing an array of filters (13 types each with 5 cutoff slope settings) and integrated waveshaper (distortion processor). With up to 64x oversampling Sytrus delivers 100% epic sound. The 6 user-definable operators can act as independent oscillators for subtractive synthesis, cross-modulate to create complex FM (Frequency Modulation) or RM (Ring Modulation) synthesis or the 256 partial harmonic editor can be used to additively synthesize virtually any timbre you can imagine. Meticulously crafted, the Image Line Sytrus delivers ethereal lush pads, sonorous bells, scintillating highs or simply dirty grunge. However, if you stick with the Image Line Sytrus, you will find it to be one of the most rewarding plugins in the Image-Line library. Along with this flexibility comes complexity. The Image Line Sytrus Plug-In for Fruity Loops includes 3 filter modules, an effects module with chorus, three delay lines and unique, per-voice programmable Unison envelopes. It can perform FM (Frequency Modulation), RM (Ring Modulation/Amplitude Modulation), Subtractive and Additive synthesis. The Image Line Sytrus Plug-In is a powerful and versatile synthesizer featuring six customizable oscillators (operators).
