BLEASS Omega Patching

video upload by boxoftextures

"The new BLEASS Omega synthesizer is a 4-operator FM synth that's pretty easy to program and kind of fun to use. And it's colorful! Which actually helps with the patching as each operator is color coded so you can keep them all straight. The synth has 16 algorithms, which gives you a good bit of flexibility. There's also a modulation page that has two LFOs and a spare envelope generator, a motion sequencer page, and a waveshaper and filter page, as well as an effects page. Somehow when new apps are released I always want to record my first efforts but I never seem to remember that when I'm busy unwrapping a new toy. So I missed the first patch, a nice chorus-y string-y pad. I got the next several patches though—lead, bass, and cheesy electric piano. As a bonus there's a crazy bleeping and blooping thing that happened when I clicked the randomize button, which can sometimes result in great fun.

So bottom line is I was pleasantly surprised how quick and easy it was to make usable and interesting patches with the BLEASS Omega synth. Everything's clearly laid out and even though there are things on different tabs it's all easy enough to get to without any menu diving needed. The video's about 20 minutes, with the three patch constructions being about 4 or 5 minutes each.

I recorded this demo on a Mac but note that the iPad app is identical and with a little work (via importing/exporting) you can share patches between them.
