Refraction includes just over 3.5GB of samples taken mainly from a Korg EX800 analogue synth from 1984 (Desktop version of the Poly 800), with a few samples from a Casio HT-3000 from 1987 (whilst not Analog VCO’s it has an analog filter which was used in all sounds).
All of the samples were recorded through a tube/valve preamp to add more warmth to the sound, and every note over 4 octaves was recorded to ensure the character of the sound was captured. Some samples were also recorded through a hardware analog filter as well as the preamp.
Starting here, you select up to 3 sounds and then you have access to the following tools for each layer:
The Xfade slider allows you to start with 1 layer and gradually fade in the 2nd & 3rd ones creating the possibility for building a sound or introducing a rhythmic element at the push of a fader.
You have access to 5 Send effects with a send level for each layer, effectively allowing you to turn off effects for a particular layer, or add more or less effect. Available effects are Chorus, Delay, Reverb, Convolution Reverb (with custom sound design IR’s) and Phaser.
You then have 5 Insert effects that affect the overall sound which can be applied post or pre-filter. The effects available are Transients, Saturation, Skreamer, Lo-Fi and Distortion.
You have access to 4 different LFO’s; Gain, Pan, Pitch and Filter (with 6 Filter Types to choose from). You can adjust the amount and rate of the LFO and select Sine, Triangle, Saw, Random and Rectangle shapes – or a combination of multiple shapes! These are synced to host tempo by default, but sync can be turned off. There is also a Step Sequencer that can be applied to the Filter, complete with a random pattern feature.
Introduced in version 1.1, you now have the option to fade in the LFO over time (up to 10 seconds) and also randomise the waveform amounts for rhythmic inspiration!
Each layer can access all of these separately giving some powerful rhythmic possibilities.
This page allows you to choose from an Arpeggiator or Step Sequencer and contains a randomisation feature where you can choose which settings are randomised and the upper & lower limits to be included. All settings can be saved as a preset and loaded at a later time.
Finally, you have the Master page which is useful for shaping the overall mixed sound. It includes an easy to use Equalizer per layer, a Compressor, a Limiter and a Stereo tool. You can also select Monophonic mode on this page, with the option for Legato, as well a Unison option with up to 4 voices and detune and spread controls.
