ArtVera has announced the release of ART Pyrite, a powerful atmospheric software synthesizer



ART Pyrite creates unique variable Atmospheres, Soundscapes, Pads, Textures, Ambient, Sound Effects & Rhythmic
and Melodic Sequences.

Running ART Pyrite 32 bit plugin in a 64 bit host might require a bridge-adapter/wrapper like JBridge.
This is not necessary if you use a 64 bit OS (Vista or Windows 7/8) and a 32 bit host.

This software synthesizer offers a wide spectrum of miscellaneous sounds, suitable for all music styles including
NewAge and Movie Music.

You can easily create your own presets with basic sounds or by using sounds from external SF2 files. You also can
create dynamic sequences by using wide possibilities of the modulation section and/or by using an included step
sequencer for one oscillator, couple of oscillators or all oscillators. There is also available the Random button
which can be used to change most of the parameters including changes of waveforms to create really unique sounds.

ART Pyrite features:

- Two analog-style oscillators featuring 22 waveforms.
- Two digital-PCM oscillators powered by 256 different waveforms in two internal source banks.
- Two filters – 24db Lowpass and 12db Low/Highpass selectable.
- Two amplitude ADSR-style envelope generators.
- Two filter ADSR-style envelope generators.
- One 16-step polyphonic sequencer with Random button of Volume level (BPM syncable or manually).
- Two LFO with three amounts routed to nine different destinations (BPM syncable or manually).
- One Sample & Hold with three amounts routed to nine different destinations (BPM syncable or manually).
- One vLFO for very low frequency modulations (BPM syncable or manually).
- One specially modulated droning chorus for the digital-PCM oscillators (9 modes).
- One synced Cross-Stereo-Delay with feedback modulated by vLFO, LFO1, S&H or manually.
- One Reverb unit.
- One Random button to randomize different sets of waveforms and most parameters.
- The possibility to load external SF2 files into digital-PCM oscillators.
- MIDI Learn/CC Edit for most control elements.
- Inbuilt MIDI CC/Value displays and Bank/Preset Manager.
- 12 voices polyphony.
- Low CPU usage.
- Straightforward and readable UI – all control elements are on a single screen. Suitable for monitors with higher resolutions.
- Three full preset banks sorted to sound categories: Atmosphere-Pad, Atmosphere-Ambient-FX, Atmosphere-Melody-Rhythm.
- Most of presets have the setting to synchronisation of host tempo. These were made at default tempo 120 BPM.
- Additional presets made by Daniel Kemp.
- The separated SF2 file for the possibility to use it also in another software applications with SF2 support.
- And a partridge in a pear tree

@ TheDingus,

Thank You for this Info...

Unfortunately, it seems that the 'FREE' Version downloadable thanks to your 'Direct Link', as well as this provided via the 'Official Website', both lead to a 'Corrupted' Archive !?!

 

Hmmm... I just downloaded the file using the Direct Link in the post and Unrar'd the files without a hitch. That is very strange.

 

@ Artic Storm,

I think that 'Vera Kinter' (aka 'ArtVera') uses rather 'SynthEdit' for her Creations/Works, but anyway both Programs are almost similar leading. to good VSTi Soft Synths... *yes*



Some of the 'SynthEdit' 'Knobs', 'Sliders', 'Controls',... used in some 'ArtVera' Soft Synths...

@ TheDingus,

Done ! I got it right now ! *yes*
I think that my 'Internet Connection' is victim of stuttering from time to time, yet it does not drink alcohol !

Thank You for your monitoring !

 

I haven't tried this yet but it looks like a ROMpler in a wrapper of modulators and sequencers.
- similar to a lot of H.G.Fortunes stuff.
