Atoms is an innovative physical modeling synth plugin designed to generate organic and otherworldly sounds beyond the realm of traditional synthesis. By simulating complex, interconnected physical systems, Atoms produces rich textures and constantly evolving soundscapes that feel alive and unpredictable. It opens up a world of possibilities for sound design, ranging from acoustic-like instruments to completely alien sonic landscapes.

Complex Physics, Simple Design

At its core, Atoms simulates the behavior of masses and springs, interconnected and responsive to various physical forces. This type of **physical modeling synthesis** mimics how real-world objects vibrate and resonate, but **Atoms** extends this concept into the realm of the surreal. Its intuitive interface allows you to manipulate parameters with ease, making the creation of unique sounds accessible, even if you’re not a seasoned sound designer.

The sound generation starts with a virtual bowing action that excites the physical model. This excitation causes the system to vibrate, producing sound. From there, you can control, automate, and manipulate the model's parameters to take it from subtle acoustic-like tones to wild, unpredictable, and otherworldly textures.

A Living Organism in Sound

Nothing in nature is static, and Atoms mirrors this with constantly shifting and fluctuating sound generation. Its six main parameters can be automated with powerful motion controls, allowing the sound to evolve over time, creating organic, living soundscapes. The plugin offers a selection of modulation options, from slow and subtle evolutions to fast and chaotic movements, perfect for ambient textures, experimental music, or futuristic sound design.

If you're used to working with static samples, Atoms will offer an entirely new level of sonic realism, continuously morphing in ways that no sample library could replicate.

Powerful Randomization for Instant Creativity

Atoms features a highly refined randomization engine, allowing you to quickly generate new patches with a click. Unlike typical randomizers, this one is musically calibrated and adjusts parameters in relation to each other, ensuring that every roll of the dice creates usable and inspiring sounds. You can also limit the ranges of any parameter or lock certain aspects of the patch to refine the results further.

In addition, the Recycle button lets you explore variations on your current patch, tweaking and evolving the sound while maintaining its core characteristics. This feature is perfect for quickly generating a wide variety of patches based on a single idea.

Physically Modeled Effects

Atoms offers a selection of built-in effects to further enhance the sound. With the exception of reverb, these effects are all generated within the physical model itself, adding an unparalleled level of integration and realism to the sound. These effects are not merely tacked-on, but instead form part of the simulation, resulting in more natural and cohesive sonic alterations. Effects include Drive, Resonant Low-Pass Filter, Modulation, Movement, and Vibrato, allowing for fine control over the sonic textures.

In addition, Atoms includes four different sonic profiles, each representing a unique structure of the mass-spring network simulation. These profiles provide different tonal qualities and allow you to explore various sound structures within the same basic model.

Key Features:

• Physical Modeling Engine: Generates sound through the simulation of interconnected masses and springs, excited by a bowing action.
• Six Main Sound Parameters: Automate and modulate these to create evolving, organic soundscapes.
• Musical Automation: Add motion to the parameters, allowing the sound to shift and breathe like a natural organism.
• Randomization Engine: Create musically useful patches with one click, while locking certain parameters for refined results.
• Recycle Button: Explore variations on a current patch, maintaining the core while introducing new sonic possibilities.
• Physically Modeled Effects: Integrate Drive, Filter, Modulation, and more directly into the model for natural, organic effect processing.
• Four Sonic Profiles: Different mass-spring network structures for varied sound textures.
• High-Quality Presets: Over 250 expertly crafted presets for instant inspiration.
• Visualizer: A real-time visual representation of the sound model, helping you understand how each parameter influences the physical simulation.

Creative Possibilities:

• Organic Textures: Create lush, evolving soundscapes that feel alive and full of motion.
• Otherworldly Sounds: Dive into uncharted sonic territories, producing surreal and abstract textures unlike any acoustic instrument.
• Ambient and Experimental Music: Atoms is perfect for long-form compositions, where evolving sounds and textures add depth and intrigue.
• Futuristic Sound Design: Craft unique and innovative sounds for film, games, and experimental audio work.
• Instant Inspiration: Use the randomizer and Recycle button to generate endless patches and explore new creative directions.
