ANCESTOR is a paraphonic synth based on a 1970s organ. More organ than synth because editing features are limited. But more than an organ because there are a few tricks to enhance the basic sounds.

• OSCILLATOR : based on a saw and a rectangle sub with adjustable pulse width.
• SINE: all oscillators become “sine”.
• RING: ring modulator per voices (main * sub).
• BRILL: aka Brilliance, need more explanation ?
• FILTER: classic 24 dB multimode filter.
• CHORUS: classic “mono to stereo” triple chorus.
• DELAY: a bit special: a ‘classic’ mode and a cascaded mode where 7 stages are added.
• SPACER: determines a time factor between each stage.
• ENV: provides main envelope Decay.
• DRIFT: analog drift, time and amount, good for chords, a bit of beat/oscillation(?)
• VIBRATOM: Why Vibratom and not vibrato ? Because the mode switch allows more shaping to tweak your sound.
• 4 modes : main VCO, sub, both, crossed.
• Main envelope tracking.
• DISTORTION: a bit special too, allow PD distortion style, fun and original.
• 64 voices of polyphony.
