Description

Unlock a world of immersive sound design with the Physical Audio Tetrad. This synth plugin is a hybrid marvel, combining the intricacies of physical modeling with the creativity of granular synthesis. Conceived in collaboration with composer Gadi Sassoon, Tetrad transforms the complexity of a multi-layered synth installation into a seamless software experience for your DAW.

At the heart of Tetrad are four oscillators that feed into a Quad AM processor and a custom Granulator, delivering a vast array of sonic possibilities. The innovative 4x4 Matrix Mixer allows you to blend these signals across four busses, offering unparalleled control over your soundscape. With its four physically-modeled plates, you can sculpt resonances that echo the depth and texture of real-world instruments.

Tetrad’s modulation matrix is a playground for sound explorers, featuring eight LFOs and MPE support for nuanced expression. With modulation sources such as Velocity, Slide, Pressure, and Glide, your compositions will come to life with dynamic detail. Whether you’re crafting ambient soundscapes or driving rhythms, Tetrad offers the flexibility to elevate your musical creations.

  • Hybrid instrument with physical modeling and granular synthesis

Critic Reviews

Granular synth plugin Tetrad is “like no other”, apparently

musictech.com

Tetrad makes a bold statement in the soft synth world with its unique blend of physical modeling and granular synthesis. Drawing inspiration from Gadi Sassoon's art, it offers a quadraphonic experience with a multitude of features like four oscillators, a comprehensive modulation matrix, and over 100 presets. While it promises experimental creativity, the intricate setup may not suit everyone, and its complexity might be overwhelming for beginners. At an introductory price of $59, rising to $99, it's a tempting offer for those seeking a novel sound design tool, but be prepared for a learning curve.
