Oscillators, Waveforms and Sound Character

Invasors uses two oscillators, and each one has access to 128 waveforms. Because the waveforms can be combined in different ways, you can build a wide range of timbres from one instrument.

The developer describes the sound as analog-inspired and says it can produce the grit and warmth associated with hardware synthesizers. That makes it a practical choice for synth leads and basses that need some edge.

Dynamic Sequencer and Remote Control

Invasors includes a dynamic sequencer that can control glide, pitch, velocity, note length, cutoff, resonance, lo-fi, phaser, flanger, chorus and reverb. It offers randomization modes and trigger modes such as latch and retrigger, and generated patterns can be exported as MIDI.

The interface navigates with four controls, similar to scrolling through a hardware synth menu. You can assign an external 8-knob MIDI controller to the main knobs for remote control. With an NKS-compatible keyboard, the main controls are pre-assigned across 16 pages of parameters.
