Taming the Double Pendulum: A Deep Dive into the Generate Engine
Newfangled Audio’s Generate is unlike any other synthesizer on the market. By combining a chaotic double-pendulum oscillator with a Buchla-inspired signal path, it offers a level of raw, organic movement that standard wavetable synths simply can’t touch.
However, "taming the chaos" is the real challenge for modern producers. We recently sat down to push the limits of this engine, and the results caught the attention of the man who built it.
Dan Gillespie, Founder of Newfangled Audio, noted that our newest collection, Awakenings, "genuinely includes some of the best Generate presets I've ever heard."
The Power of MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE)
To truly unlock Generate, you have to move beyond static notes. Because the engine is built on fluid, chaotic movement, it is the perfect candidate for MPE.
Whether you are using a Roli Seaboard, a LinnStrument, or an Expressive E Osmose, our patches respond with the nuance of a physical acoustic instrument. Both the new Awakenings expansion and our foundational Generate Bundle are fully MPE-optimized, allowing you to use pressure, slide, and lift to manipulate the "chaos" in real-time.
The Complete Suite: From Industrial Grit to Celestial Pads
If you’re looking to build a professional foundation for your studio, the Generate Bundle covers the entire sonic spectrum across four distinct libraries:
-
Interstellar focuses on expansive, celestial textures and cinematic soundscapes.
-
Abyss provides the deep, sub-structure needed for dark film scoring and industrial bass.
-
Nightfall leans into dark, evolving MPE textures that shift over time.
-
Disa-Rayd brings the aggressive, "West Coast" synthesis bite that Generate is famous for.
Stop wrestling with the chaotic generator and start creating with professional tools that have been validated by the source.
