Welcome to the mesmerizing world of PurPLe, where sound transcends boundaries and paints vivid pictures in the minds of its listeners. Just as a picture can convey a thousand words, a sound has the power to evoke a thousand images. Prepare to embark on a cinematic journey as we pay homage to the pioneers of the sound effects departments who enthralled audiences with their innovative creations on the science fiction silver screen.

PurPLe draws inspiration from the early days of synthesis, channeling the essence of those groundbreaking times. Its captivating sound is brought to life by a symphony of free-running multi-wave oscillators, each capable of producing a diverse waveform that can contort and morph as if it possesses a life force of its own. Brace yourself for an awe-inspiring sonic experience—it's a true monster of a synth.

Central to the sonic arsenal of PurPLe lies the Modulation Matrix Patch Bay, a powerful interface that allows the various components of the synth to interact and influence one another. This intricate web of connections is the key to unlocking the full potential of PurPLe's capabilities. (To provide a more detailed explanation, we can delve deeper into how the Modulation Matrix Patch Bay facilitates the intricate interplay of different elements within the synth.)

Modulation is the secret ingredient that infuses a synth with a sense of realism or transports it into the realm of the surreal. It's the pulsating wobble of a bassline and the enchanting trill of a flute. While the ubiquitous LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) plays a significant role in generating these effects, frequency modulation encompasses far more than mere wobbling—it encompasses the very essence of the sound itself.

PurPLe's Matrix opens up an expansive realm of possibilities for frequency modulation by tapping into, chaining, and merging the signal path. Through ingenious manipulations, you can modulate an LFO with noise and harness its transformative power to modulate an oscillator or filter. This seemingly simple task is merely the tip of the iceberg. The deeper you explore, the more astonishing possibilities you will uncover. Imagine one oscillator ascending in pitch as you play while another descends, all the while modulating the first oscillator—truly a playground of endless creativity.

Welcome to PurPLe, where the language of sound transcends boundaries, inviting you to sculpt and shape a sonic tapestry that knows no limits. Let your imagination run wild and immerse yourself in the boundless world of possibilities that awaits.

Audio Demo

All the examples in the demo are recorded direct to HD from PurPLe no additional effects are used.

Keymap Pro was used for the editing of the loops and Logic to assemble the final track, just a multi band compressor was placed on the master output.

There is no onboard sequencer or arpeggiator........ It's a mono synth........ It's the modulation matrix in action.

Take any of PurPLe's sounds, select midi and switch on the ADSR, they will now follow your keys just like any synth.

This opens up a whole new world of strange soundscapes, bass and lead lines, percussive loops and never ending evolving textures.
The audio demo shows only a handful of sounds taken from PurPLe.

Its easy to create your own patches, just choose any of the patches included and hit randomise in Reaktor, its a great way to explore the capabilities of PurPLe.

PurPLe can respond to midi just like any analog mono synth, but the oscillators have no fixed tuning, you have to tune each of them individually, so it's got a built in chromatic tuner and a frequency display in Hz.
