@bleassapp any examples with some more details of how it sounds ? Like filter with high resonance, fast LFO modulation (how high can go LFO, btw?), some osc cross modulations .. i mean how it sounds when it come to more complex sound ..

Bleass Motion sequencer + Aphelian AU

Can you use it with the Bleass groovebox?

Thanks for asking! Indeed, you can use it with the BLEASS groovebox as it manages multiple channels midi in/out

if you use the BLEASS groovebox along with the standalone instance of the BLEASS Alpha Synth, then, simply use the MIDI OUT channel 1. You can also sync boths apps through Ableton Link.

but you can also load 4 different instances of the Alpha Synth (as it is also AUv3) in a DAW such as AUM or Audiobus, and assign a different midi channel coming from up to four different midi channels from the groovebox!

we shall make some kind of tutorial very soon!

Look forward to seeing this, the motion feature looks really good.

I’m a huge fan of all things BLEASS. They’ve earned my instabuy. Knowing them, I’m thinking this will offer a bit more creative experience than the average synth. 😎
