Post Description

The Drop is an analog modeled resonant filter plug-in. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. There is a huge level of detail in the models, which gives them amazing drive and tone. As well as the detailed circuit models more efficient algorithms are included for situations where CPU considerations are more important than tone, but even these models are of the highest quality.
Circuit Modelling and DSP

Cytomic uses the same circuit modelling techniques that are used in professional circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. The structure including all feedback loops and useful non-linearities of the original circuit has been preserved. The algorithm uses actual values for resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and other circuit components. The voltages and currents are solved in real time and match as closely as possible to the analog circuit in both the time and frequency domains.
Feature Summary

    Seven different detailed circuit models
    Stereo and Mono processing with either 2 or 4 poles
    Loads of drive and character
    Full frequency range and perfect resonance tracking without oversampling so there is no latency in processing
    Huge amounts of resonance if you want and also "Safe" button for DJ use where screaming self oscillation is not desired
    One basic and one advanced LFO capable of audio rate stereo modulation
    Two analog modelled AHR envelopes that double as envelope followers, one for the cutoff and one for amplitude
    FM from main audio input or sidechain audio input
    DSP coded using C++ and SSE2, Interface coded using the Juce framework (C++)
    Password protected copy protection

What's new

    v1.5.2 (29 Dec 2016):
        Fixed: Shift / Spread in Wide mode didn't recall correctly
    v1.5.1 (27 Dec 2016):
        Fixed: trig and gate modes not working in Env1 and Env2
    v1.5.0 (24 Dec 2016):
        New: filter models KSM, WSP, AMU:
            WSP - based on the EDP Wasp synth filter with unique CMOS inverters.
            AMU - based on a custom design inspired by the ARP Odyssey mk1 filter.
            KSM - a custom design input mixing Sallen Key
        New: resonance boost “trimpot” to increase self oscillation range from 125% to 200% (the 0%-100% operation stays constant)
        New: MD and HD modes for all filters
        New: SSE optimised over-sampler
        New: CPU meters
        New: cramped responses properly drawn in visualiser
        New: LFO1 phase control and advanced triggering
        New: improved beat triggering of LFOs
        New: wide button to increase the range of the shift and spread knobs
        New: improved machine id generation on Win and Mac
        Note: Win XP support has ended with this build

nJoy!
