PM-202 | Hybrid Complex Oscillator Designer

Download the PM-202 Quick Start Guide

PM-202 is a meticulously crafted hybrid synthesizer, inspired by the iconic sound engines of the early '80s, including the SH-101 and MC-202. Enhanced with a Buchla-inspired complex oscillator and a wide array of modulation capabilities, PM-202 takes vintage analog synthesis to the next level, combining the warmth of classic sounds with cutting-edge digital control.

Features

Vintage-Inspired Oscillator Section

  • Emulates the iconic SH-101/MC-202 sound engines.
  • Three primary sound sources (Saw, Square, Sub Oscillator) with independent level controls for fine-tuned blending.
  • Sub oscillator with switchable octaves and pulse width settings for powerful low-end textures.
  • Noise generator for adding grit and texture.

Complex Oscillator Modulation

  • Buchla-inspired modulation capabilities including FM and AM modes.
  • Selectable modulation shapes (sine, triangle, sawtooth, square) with morphing capabilities.
  • Dedicated controls for timbre, modulation frequency, and modulation depth.
  • Modulation routing options for direct output or as a modulation source.

Advanced Filter Section

  • Self-oscillating resonant low-pass filter with precise control over cutoff and resonance.
  • Envelope and LFO modulation for dynamic filter effects.

Dynamic Envelopes

  • ADSR envelopes for amplitude and filter modulation, allowing nuanced control over attack, decay, sustain, and release.
  • Easily create everything from tight plucks to evolving pads.

Powerful LFO and Modulation

  • Multi-shape LFO (triangle, square) with adjustable rate and depth for modulation of pitch, filter, or PWM.
  • Synchronizable with host tempo for rhythmic modulation.

Integrated Sequencer and Step Modulation

  • 8-step sequencer with step modulation for pitch, filter, or waveform parameters.
  • Adjustable step timing and sync modes (self or host sync).
  • Visual step matrix for intuitive control over sequence patterns.

Built-In Effects

  • Delay with time, feedback, and mix controls for adding depth and space.
  • Reverb with adjustable feedback and coloration for lush ambient textures.

Jumble Feature for Randomization

  • Randomize modulation, envelope, and sequencer settings for instant inspiration.

Customizable Workflow

  • Signal routing for layering or isolating oscillators and effects.
  • Fine-tuned controls for every parameter, enabling deep sound design possibilities.

Additional Features

  • Factory Presets: Includes a curated collection of sounds for instant creativity.
  • Wave Morphing: Transition between waveform types for evolving sound textures.
  • Visual Feedback: Real-time signal displays and waveform views keep you informed and inspired.

Minimum Requirements

  • OSX: Version 10.8 or later.
  • Windows: Windows 10 x64.
  • Host compatibility: Audio Units or VST-compatible audio hosts.
