Sympathizer is a new and versatile audio effect. It is based on a tunable comb filter bank and extends the concept to further explore this very specific and rewarding domain of sound creation.

The Sympathizers sonic scope spans from the subtle rendition of a sympathetic string reverb to the peculiar soundshapes of sparkling overtone cascades and textures. The Sympathizer is a perfect tool for creating tuned reverbs or drone pad sounds that can hardly be achieved through any other means

Features:

• Twentyone freely tunable string resonators are grouped in three comb filter banks
• string material, string decay, stereo width, output volume and panorama settings can be adjusted separately for each bank.
• Faders can be grouped to quickly change settings globally or ganged in reverse to make adjustments to a single bank while still preserving the overall balance of the preset.
• Resonator pitch can be set as midi note number, as note name or as frequency.
• Pitch changes can be applied to a single resonator, to selected banks or globally to allow quick and convinient retuning of the effect.
• Use continous midi controlers on the damper to create swells and fades by dynamically readjusting the string decay or simulate pedal action by switching between two defined damper states.
• Use Midi controlers on the output volume to rhythmically gate the drone pad sound.

New in v1.1

• New Value display allows to read and modify the exact parameter value for all knob and fader controls.
• New fine tune VST parameters allow exact retuning of all voices through VST automation. This works fine as well when only standard low resolution MIDI controllers are available.
• MIDI note range borders can conveniently be inserted from a MIDI keyboard.
• Numerous bug fixes increase the overall stability and usability of the plugins.
