Sound Engine and Synthesis Methods
BLUE-III uses six oscillators with algorithm control for FM synthesis and other routing combinations. Oscillator sources include analog-modeled waveforms, spectrum waveforms, Karplus-Strong string models, and samples. Granular processing is available on a selection of samples.
The filter section offers two filters with serial or parallel routing. Filter types include high-pass, low-pass, band-pass and notch designs in several slopes, plus comb, vocal, formant, ring modulation and frequency shift options. Rob Papen says the audio engine borrows from his B.I.T. virtual analog synthesizer.
