Sound Character and Modulation with X-Modifiers

AXXESS aims to stay faithful to its 1975 predecessor while adding more depth. GForce Software describes it as a sibling of its Oddity3 synth and says it inherits that instrument's character.

The X-Modifiers are the main sound design feature. Almost every parameter on the synth has an independent LFO and envelope, which allows complex, evolving sounds. A Vintage control adds analogue imperfections, and the filter and VCA respond to velocity for more expressive playing.

Unison, Monophonic, Monophonic Legato and Polyphonic modes cover both lead and pad-style playing. A pan spread control helps create wide stereo sounds.

Presets, Browser and Typical Genres

AXXESS includes over 350 presets made by a group of sound designers and artists. The developer lists contributors including Zardonic, GEOsynths, Christian Lafitte and Jordan Passmore, among others.

The preset browser supports tagging, sorting and search, which makes it easier to find sounds in a large library. The patches cover Electronica, Hip Hop, Synth-Pop, DnB, Dance, Ambient, Cinematic and Prog Rock.

The interface is fully scalable, so it can be resized to suit different screens.
