Eventide - Pendulate

Create Unheard Synth Sounds

Bored of the same old synth sounds? Newfangled Audio’s Pendulate is refreshingly different. Pendulate is a chaotic mono-synth that uses a brand new double-pendulum-oscillator to create previously unheard sounds — biting basses, searing leads, and gritty textures. It can smoothly fade from a sine wave to total chaos, with an expanse of territory to explore in between.

The Tech Behind The Pendulate Synth Plugin

The Pendulate Plugin is based on a new oscillator concept, which started from Newfangled Audio being curious to know what a double pendulum would sound like if translated to audio.

I'm sure we've all grappled with that same question before (...!?) :)

A double pendulum is a simple mechanical system that is chaotic, which means what it does in the future is hard to predict from what it’s done in the past. The initial system didn’t sound very musical, but after a lot of tweaking it sounds really great and really interesting, and that’s what you hear today. A great simulation of the double pendulum and a derivation of the equations of motion can be found here.

Eventide Pendulate:

• Novel chaotic oscillator based on the double pendulum makes sounds you’ve never heard before, but will want to hear again
• Wavefolder based on the one in the Buchla 259 Complex Waveform Generator, adding MIX and CUTOFF
• Low Pass Gate based on the Buchla 292 adds controls for POLES and RESONANCE
• Innovative modulation UI allows modulation over every control from the main page, allowing up to 169 simultaneous modulation routings
• MPE support allows amazing control from innovative new controllers
• Envelope and LFO each have multiple outputs generated at once, like a modular synth should
• Modulation! Every mod output to every control means up to 221 modulation points in an intuitive single pane
• Animations! The Double Pendulum, Wavefolder, and Low Pass Gate modules each have animations to show how each module responds to your input, and to modulation
• Three unique color schemes to customize your look
• 136 Presets including artist presets from Matt Lange and Matthew Wang
