FULTON, MD – Impact Soundworks has released Chro-Nyx, a virtual synth that faithfully recreates the beloved JP-8080 synthesizer as well as elements from other popular hardware such as the Access Virus, Nord Modular 2, Korg Mono/Poly, Roland Jupiter-8, and others. With extensive oscillators, filter models, effects, and modulation capabilities, this virtual synth (available in VST, AU, and AAX formats via Reaktor Player) allows producers to create a huge range of possible tones.
Developed over the course of 5 years, Chro-Nyx captures the look, feel, and sound of the JP-8080, an early analog modeling synth that revolutionized digital music in the 1990s (most notably by introducing the supersaw oscillator).
Chro-Nyx then goes far beyond their original capabilities, integrating components from other vintage analog and digital hardware, along with unique and custom DSP, resulting in a feature-packed virtual synth workstation suitable for many genres.
Highlights of Chro-Nyx beyond the complete feature set of the JP-8080 include:
Dual oscillators with 31 oscillator types, each with unique parameters, and many emulating specific hardware
Dual filters with multiple topologies, slopes, and 5 styles available, such as ‘Classic’, ‘Acid’, ‘Lush’, etc.
18 filter drive types and a unique ‘BOOST’ mode that allows for extreme distortion and circuit bending-style effects
Dual LFOs that can go from extremely slow to audio rate speeds
Combination step sequencer and arpeggiator with optional trance gate
16-slot modulation matrix with Eurorack-style math sources also available
Dual effects slots with 29 modules available including shimmer reverbs, choruses, waveshapers, etc.
External audio input for processing through the full signal chain
Analog-modeled Pre and Post-FX EQs
8080-style vocoder with expanded controls, as well as 12-band resonant filterbank
Chro-Nyx was developed in partnership with Jasper Broeks (Chrono), a DJ, hardcore artist, and programmer who has worked with numerous well-known artists and performed at many festivals around the world. He creates his own synths under the Pulsecraft name.
“As an EDM musician myself, I’ve been collecting both softsynths and hardware for over 20 years, which is how I know that it takes a lot for a new synth to stand out. But having spent over 50 hours producing with Chro-Nyx, I’m in love, and I can’t wait to hear how other musicians use it!” CEO and owner Andrew Aversa said.
Chro-Nyx is available at the Impact Soundworks store for a limited-time introductory price of $79 (MSRP $99). Crossgrades are available for some customers.
