Dagger synth

Dagger is a compact and powerful monophonic synthesizer, that incorporates the most advanced and authentic circuit modelling technology. Dagger captures the spirit of analogue synths, but does not try to emulate any of them, its designed from the ground up to bring you its own distinctive, bold character. Due to its simple and intuitive user interface Dagger is fast and easy to operate, yet packs possibilities that will surprise you. You can’t get more for the money!

Engine

• 2x oversampling (Filters 8x)
• Audio-rate processing of all signals
• Power supply model - introduces a bit of characteristic noise into every signal

Oscillators

• 2 oscillators with wave shape morphing and hard-sync
• Modulation destinations: pitch, phase, detune, oscillator 1 wave shape
• Modulation sources: LFO modulator (env mode supported)

Filters

• 8x oversampled, circuit modelled, zero-delay feedback, highly nonlinear filters designed especially for Dagger synth
• 1 'japaneese style' 12db, noisy high-pass filter with highly nonlinear resonance
• 1 low pass filter, 5 models available
  • 12 db Steiner-Parker
  • 2x transistor-ladder
  • 2x diode ladder
• Modulation sources: Envelope, LFO, Oscillator 2, Modulation wheel

Modulation

• Multi-mode modulator (LFO, Decay envelope, VCO)
• ADSR envelope generator
• Modulation sources: Key velocity, Modulation wheel

Amplifier

• High quality, warm diode-clipper circuit model
• Modulation sources: Envelope (ADSR, partial envelope: R o AR), LFO

Goodies

• One-click MIDI learn

Has anyone had a play yet? This is is pure evil......

There's a random button which gets you new happy accidents / sounds, all ya gotta do is shape them from there. No on-board fx. Here's a thrown together mp3 loop dry, processed, then shoved through blackhole at the end.

 

wicked!

 

This sounds awesome! But why just monophonic?

I have preset randomizer, morpher and breeder in my "DAW" of choice, for ALL VST and VSTi. It's indeed awesome. Imagine the craziness I can come up with in Bazille, Aalto, etc. Good times.

 

Please elaborate!! Can Reaper do this?

 

FL Studio?

 

Plays nicely with FX units.

Its Ableton Live's randomizer plugin.. maybe reaper can do this but i havent tried on it. No way on FL

thanks @Ash , sounds really good , and quite reasonable price.. maybe this will be a Christmas present to myself..

 

Thanks for the clues Baxter:

Now back to the main event

 

Buzz (for me)! You seem to have figured it out. Good work!

AFIK, neither Reaper nor FL Studio can do this (someone please correct me).
It's been in Buzz for years, but I haven't seen it in any other commercial DAW yet, which I think is pretty strange. Not even a simple "morph fader" to morph between two selected presets. Only certain VSTs have this feature.

 

Sounds feckin lovely with bx stereo maker

 

@focusrite
After some time of work with Reaper I realized that it can make everything, if you think that it impossible, it means that you just looking in wrong place. Check this rindomiser script http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=129028&highlight=randomize+fx

It strange to see so big processor load when using this simple synth. I passed unimpressed.

 

1.0.0 - initial release
1.0.2 - fixed issues with FL Studio and REAPER
1.0.4 - the latest version for now (don't know release notes for this version)
