01Overview

BLEASS Omega Synth is built around FM synthesis, a method known for bright bells, electric pianos and deep basses. The developer describes it as an approach that avoids the complex programming interfaces often associated with FM. All four operators are edited from a single screen, so envelopes and controls can be adjusted together. Built-in filter and waveshaper stages add analog-style warmth, drive and resonance to the FM output.

Sound Design With Four FM Operators and 11 Algorithms

Omega uses four FM operators, each generating a sine wave shaped by its own ADSR envelope and volume control. Eleven algorithms route the operators in different ways, and colour-coded diagrams show how each one is connected. In every algorithm, the fourth operator includes a feedback loop that modulates its own frequency, controlled by a Feedback setting.

Operators can follow the keyboard or hold a fixed frequency, with Coarse, Fine, Frequency and Multiplier controls for tuning. A global Time control scales the envelopes of all four operators at once, which is useful when shaping attack and decay across a patch.

Filter, Waveshaper and Modulation Options

The Waveshaper offers nine shaping algorithms for warmth and overdrive, and the multi-mode filter provides low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch responses. Cutoff and resonance can be set by dragging inside the filter display, and keyboard tracking and envelope amounts control how the filter responds to pitch and playing.

Two LFOs and a third ADSR envelope can each be assigned to up to two destinations. The LFOs offer sine, triangle, saw up, saw down, square and sample-and-hold waveforms. A Motion Sequencer adds repeating modulation patterns that can sync to the DAW or restart on each note.
