  Newfangled Audio Generate 

Generate is a new poly-synthesizer developed by Newfangled Audio and distributed by Eventide. Generate combines top-line synthesizer abilities with revolutionary "chaotic" oscillators. The results are beautifully complex pads, warm moving keys, jittery sequenced basses, (seemingly) out-of-control leads, and fantastical aural textures. This is a new synth that you must download the demo. I was enraptured for hours!

I thought programming Generate would be difficult but you can start with any of the huge collections of patches that come with it and just dive in! I liked the Matt Lange and Chris Carter folders.

Three Global Synth modules are in a row at the top of the very visually active GUI. There are five chaotic generators that fade from sine waves to total chaos and act as the oscillators. The musical textures created include distortion, harmonics, grunge, static, and noise.

Next is the Wavefolder with three choices of overtones generation and finally, an ADSR section--the most instantly recognizable synthesizer module in this plug!

I just love the "square" knobs for most tweak-able parameters--when you touch any synth module, be it Global, Envelope 1, Env2, LFO1, LFO2. Sample/Hold, or Sequencer, their perspective parameters show up in a single window. There are also four adjustable effects: four band EQ, Chorus, Delay and Reverb. Finally, there is a limiter on the stereo output, as the level of things can get chaotic. I could talk all day and night so just download it.

Newfangled Audio's Generate sells for $149 (intro price of $99) come as AAX, AU, VST2 and VST3 versions and runs in either Windows 8.1+ or MACs 10.9 +. It uses iLok authorization but no dongle is required.
