Anima
309
large number of different noise types. These range from classic noises like white and pink
noise over drum attacks and rhythmical noises to specifically filtered colored noises and
unique circuit noises, recorded from various electronic devices. This powerful collection
of noises can be used to add inharmonic frequencies to create atmospheric sound or add
transients for rich and percussive attacks, for example. The integrated arpeggiator and step
sequencer allows you to play rhythmic patterns and/or add modulations to the synthesis
parameters using the three available controller lanes.
The oscillator is followed by a multi-mode filter that offers a large number of different filter
shapes. The filter can be modulated by modulation sources like the keyboard, velocity, and
LFO, but also by the controller lanes of the step sequencer, for example.
Anima includes two monophonic LFOs that can be synchronized to the host tempo and allow
you to modulate a large number of modulation destinations using the modulation matrix.
In addition, a user-defined envelope can be assigned to destinations like Pitch, Pan, or
Wavetable parameters in the modulation matrix.
Anima contains six pages: Osc1, Osc2, Sub, Mod, Voice, and Arp. To show the settings for a
page, click the corresponding page button.
If a page button itself contains an On/Off button, which is the case for the Arp page button,
for example, you can use this to activate/deactivate the corresponding element without
having to open the page first.
Oscillator Pages
The Osc 1 and Osc 2 pages contain the settings for the two main oscillators.
• To show the settings for oscillator 1 or oscillator 2, click the corresponding button.
• To activate/deactivate an oscillator, click the On/Off button on the right of the
corresponding page button.
Select Wavetable
This pop-up menu allows you to select one of the included wavetables for the
wavetable oscillator.
Show 3D Wavetable Map/2D Wave
Toggles between displaying a single cycle of the current waveform and a
topographic map of the entire wavetable.
Retrigger Mode
• If Free Phase is selected, the behavior of analog synthesizers is emulated.
The oscillator is running freely and continuously.
