Description

This unique virtual instrument introduces a new “Audio Model” format, capable of containing thousands of waves extracted from ordinary audio files. These waves - and how they’re structured - lays the ground for how Tomofon generates audio, resulting in a highly flexible and instantly expressive instrument. On one hand it can sound very organic, even lifelike, and on the other, like something out of this world. Whether you want to play around with the Audio Model Starter Pack (instruments & voices) and factory presets, or import your own audio to shape your own unique soundscapes – it is fair to say that you are in for a creative journey.

How does it work?

Tomofon converts audio files into a large set of oscillating waves, which are then mapped into pitch zones where each wave represents one layer (a bit similar to how a sampler structures different velocity zones). The main difference is that since each zone is populated with waves instead of ordinary samples, the synth engine can morph between them (both layers and zones). This makes all transitions between zones and layers continuous and seamless.

Create and share your own unique sounds

A significant feature of this plug-in is that users can import their own audio files and create new and unique Audio Models. Ordinary audio files (preferably with monophonic content) can easily be imported and distributed into different pitch zones over the keyboard range, either automatically or manually. Doing an automatic import is basically a one-click process which instantly results in a proper playable Audio Model. A manual import gives the user full control of which waves should end up in which pitch zone. Last but not least you can easily share your own created Audio Models with others.

Tomofon comes pre-loaded with a pack of 124 Audio Models based on high quality audio recordings of multiple expressions. These models includes several instruments like strings, vocals, brass, woodwind, guitars and more. Along with these models there are over 180 presets to get you going right away. From there on you can venture further and start creating Audio Models based on your own audio files and experiment on the types of sounds they can grow to be.

Features
- Wide selection of factory presets and Audio Models
- Integrated audio sample importer and Audio Model editor
- Pitch and (layer) depth envelopes that can be edited by the user

Rubber chicken synth

fragilefrenchangel on

You can take almost any sound and make it sound like a high pitched squeezing a rubber chicken sound. 3 stars cause im impressed that it'll do that with ANY sample. And $15 for sample packs?? That's a whole other USEFUL app at that price.

New love

Jaxziel on

Didn’t take to it at first but with the new update it seemed to grow on me more and more. Been looking for a workable clarinet for some time now I’ve got it plus,thank you and good luck with a great app

Outstanding

I am working through the details of how to customize the assignments of waves to the keyboard to create and to edit models, so my assessment is not quite complete. In general terms, however, this is a striking, great-sounding synthesizer with a wide range of capabilities. For Klevgränd (or any developer), this strikes the user right away as something reflecting a great deal of ambition and creative work. Tomofon gives easy access to a world of usable sound of high quality, with presets included to get users going on their creative paths. If one reads my first sentence to infer worry about usability or some kind of nasty learning curve, I can say not to worry. No such thing should concern the majority of potential users. My use of the tools for building custom wave models (sort of a marriage of multiple small wavetables across the frequency/note range of a sound preset/instrument) has run into some advanced difficulties most users will never encounter. I do think the model-editing tools could be a touch more clear than they are for adding new waves to an existing model and assigning those across key ranges. This is unusual in my experience with this developer. Klevgränd tend to make things very clear - and very simple (in one or two apps, almost too simple for my control-freak tastes). With Tomofon, I'm sure I have missed something and that I'll find my answer soon. This is my edge-case issue with Tomofon, but the overall instrument should be in any pad/mobile-music-user's toolkit. It does so much well, while being a very particular, characterful synthesizer. This is not at all some do-it-all thing that has no distinctive attraction. Klevgränd can take a bow for this one. Well done.
