Key Features: Deep Synthesis, Simplified Control
BLEASS Monolit packs a robust feature set into an accessible interface, making sophisticated sound design a breeze.
General Tab: Core Controls for Expressive Performance
- Output Control: Visualizes and controls the instrument’s overall volume with a clear meter.
- Voice Parameters: Fine-tune the core voicing:
- Detune: Master detuning (±0.5 semitones) for global thickening.
- Retrig: Enable/disable ADSR retriggering for legato playing.
- Vibrato: Global pitch vibrato with adjustable rate and amount (up to ±1 semitone).
- Pitch Bend: Define maximum pitch bend range in semitones.
- Glide: Set the time for smooth pitch transitions between notes.
- Unison Algorithm: Create up to seven duplicates of the synth’s voice for a thicker, fuller sound.
- Voices: Set the number of duplicates (0-7).
- Detune: Control the spread of detuning across unison voices.
- Target: Apply unison to both oscillators or only one.
- Modulation Routing: Route incoming Mod Wheel, Slide (MPE compatible), and Pressure (Aftertouch) messages to any two synth parameters, each with adjustable amounts, for dynamic and expressive control.
- Built-in Arpeggiator: Configure rhythmic patterns with versatile controls:
- State: Enable/disable arpeggiator.
- Mode: Sync to internal (Free), host DAW beat (Sync), or host bar-and-beat (Beat).
- Rate: Adjust speed in milliseconds (Free) or as a factor of DAW tempo (Sync/Beat).
- Pattern Mode: Choose note playback order: Normal, Up, Down, Up/Down, Random.
- Octave: Add additional octaves to the arpeggio.
- Gate: Set note duration as a proportion of the rate.
- Repeat: Set the number of times each note repeats.
Oscillators Tab: Craft Your Core Sound
- OSC 1: Blend four different waveforms (Pulse, Triangle, Sawtooth, Noise) with individual volume faders. Includes Pulse Width modulation, Octave, and Fine tuning.
- OSC 2: A single, selectable waveform that can be smoothly morphed from Sine, through Triangle and Sawtooth, to Square. Includes Octave, Fine tuning, and Gain control.
- FM Stage: Modulate the frequency of one, both, or neither oscillator.
- Wave: Choose from morphable Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, or Square FM waveforms.
- Octave: Apply octave offset to the FM operator’s frequency.
- Target: Select which oscillator(s) receive FM.
- Amount: Set the strength of the FM effect.
- ADSR (Amp Envelope): Visually intuitive faders for Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release, with Velocity control over amplitude.
Filter/Mod Tab: Sculpt and Animate Your Tones
- Monolit’s Filter: Shape and sculpt the sound with a powerful filter section.
- State: Enable/disable filter.
- Filter Graph: Visually control cutoff frequency and resonance by dragging.
- Filter Type Buttons: Choose from low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filtering.
- x2: Doubles the filter for a more aggressive cutoff slope and pronounced resonance.
- Drive: Boost the filter’s input for harmonic overdrive and color.
- Keyboard Tracking: Determines how played notes impact the filter’s cutoff frequency (0% to positive/negative values).
- LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator): Route to two different destinations for rhythmic and shifting timbral effects.
- Shape: Choose from Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth Up, Sawtooth Down, Square, and Sample-and-Hold waveforms.
- Mode: Free (internal timing), Beat (DAW sync), or Trig (LFO restarts on note play).
- Target (x2): Select synth parameters to be modulated by the LFO.
- Amount (x2): Scale the LFO’s impact.
- Second ADSR Envelope: A dedicated, second ADSR envelope generator to control up to two synth parameters.
- ADSR Faders: Intuitive visual faders for Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release.
- Velocity: Control how playing velocity affects envelope strength.
- Target (x2): Select synth parameters to be driven by this envelope.
- Amount (x2): Scale the envelope’s impact.
