Audio Damage AD051 Continua v1.1.0 [WiN, MacOSX]
SYNTHiC4TE | 23 April 2021 | 26.2 MB
Continua is a virtual analog synth with a twist: a continuously morphable threesome of oscillators. With three interconnected controls defining the wave shape, Continua has a virtually limitless supply of waveforms, especially when you add cross modulation and noise in to the mix.
An immediately intuitive three-oscillator analogue-style synth with two filters, up to 16 unison voices, copious polyphonic modulation sources and three onboard effects, Continua puts highly controllable waveform morphing at the centre of its architecture and workflow. Bringing the deft harmonic shifts of wavetable synthesis to mind, Continua's oscillators sweep seamlessly from outputting sine through square to saw waves; each of the four LFOs transitions from a double sine to square, via triangle waveshapes; and the dual independent filters morph continuously through low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and notch responses. Skew and Warp controls enable further manipulation of oscillator and LFO waveforms, and all morphing controls can be modulated for pads and textures that constantly evolve right at the oscillator/filter level.
There isn't a single knob in Continua that can't be modulated, from those controlling the oscillators, filters and effects to the parameters of the modulators themselves. Four LFOs, two ADSR and two multi-stage envelope generators, a Sample & Hold generator, two XY pads and eight macros are freely and effortlessly assignable by right-clicking any target control. And with every LFO and envelope being fully polyphonic, the expressiveness of your performances needs know no bounds, especially when using an MPE-compatible controller.
Like the oscillators and filters, Continua's three effects are tilted towards the production of sustained, ambient-orientated sounds. The Reverb is particularly notable, housing a custom algorithm geared up for very long, dense, heavily modulated tails; while the Chorus and Delay modules bring voice-stacked thickening and evocative spatialisation.

CHANGES IN V1.1.0
> Preset manager now closes when you double-click on a preset.
> Every last vestige of OpenGL removed; this should increase compatibility on Linux and in future macOS versions. It was already off on the Wiindows and iOS versions; we have removed it from the macOS and Linux versions as well.
> macOS payload is now Universal Binary 2, and Continua will run natively on Apple Silicon Macs.
> macOS minim version is now 10.12 "Sierra" due to digital signing requirements by Apple.
> Linux payload now includes VST3 version.
