DCAM Synth Squad Overview"DCAM: Synth Squad finally delivers the satisfaction of playing real analogue instruments in software! Advanced modelling technology carefully reconstructs the soul of dusty vintage circuits within your computer, for the unmatched vibe of hardware at a fraction of the cost.
At the heart of DCAM: Synth Squad are 3 modelled synthesizers - Strobe, Amber and Cypher - bulging with the immense weight and power of old-school analogue. These are no mere emulations stunted by the limitations of the past. Instead, they combine the best features from legendary machines with new and exciting ideas to drag them kicking and screaming into the modern world.
Oscillators ooze immense sound pressure, amp stages can be overloaded for extra grit, and real-world chaos can be dialled into the circuit for delicious instability. These synths don't break with extreme settings, so you can abuse them just like the real thing. Meanwhile, the intuitive TransMod modulation system brings your sounds to life in new and expressive ways.
Fusor, a versatile sound-design environment that can layer and keysplit 3 instances of the DCAM synths, is also included. It provides a variety of ways to add new dimensions to your sounds with high-quality FX, extra modulation and an advanced step-sequencer/arpeggiator."
via Damian who has the following to say on the suite:
"1) The first or one of the first synth packs with proper audio-rate
modulation. You get to use LFOs that are tens of kHz on the VCA or the
filter cutoff and it sounds as it actually should.
2) New SVF model, sounds better than anything out there right now
3) Cypher has awesome oscillator intermodulation
4) Amber is probably the first *true* emulation of a string machine,
with the divide-down circuit emulated etc. And it has a formant filter
5) Strobe has the most amazing filters - an Xpander is a foretaste of
that, but you're not limited by slow 100 hz modulation
6) Fusor allows you to layer them and add all sorts of crazy filters
and modulation
7) They support polyphonic aftertouch - yay!
8) Not that expensive and runs on older hardware
9) More knobs, sliders, XY pads and modulation than you can shake a stick at!"
