Introducing the world's best audio-to-synth technology.
Have you ever wanted to play piano notes by singing with your voice? Or use your bass guitar to control an Avalon Bassline, microKORG, or even vintage analog synths like the Arp Odyssey, Sequential Circuits Pro One, or countless others? Now it is possible with our exceptional transient response and latency low enough for live performance.
If you are an analog synth maker, from DIY to professional, you can benefit from the patented lightning-speed frequency-tracking technology of our DACO160 technology. It gives you MIDI output, exponential pitch, zero-ripple envelope and gate CV outputs, three waves (square, sawtooth and our unbelievably pure sine wave), plus several other analog synth goodies.
Our DACO160 algorithm runs so efficiently that it can be implemented in a microcontroller running as slowly as 70MHz, with the addition of only a 24-bit DAC for waveform generation. The frequency-tracking IP is available for purchase with or without the CV, MIDI, or waveform outputs.
The DACO160 technology features 8 “rate” settings which can be tuned to give optimum tracking performance depending on the instrument. For guitar (yes, even bass guitar!) and voice, use a fast rate setting for punchy transient behavior and super-fast dynamics; for bowed strings and other harmonic-rich sources, use a slower rate setting to avoid tracking to the second and/or higher harmonics.
