Elastic OSC For iOS Updated With Yamaha DX7 Patch Support
Developer Oliver Greschke (Elastic Instruments) has updated Elastic OSC for iOS to add support for DX7-style FM synthesis.
Elastic OSC is an 8-voice polyphonic synth for iOS, largely based on the voice engines of the Mutable Instruments Plaits’ Eurorack module.
Update 1.1 allows you to import DX7 banks into the 3 OP6 engines (19–21). Each OP6 preset / DX7 bank consists of 32 DX7 sounds, which you can switch through using the Harmonics slider.
The update also includes a wide range of DX7 sound libraries, including classic DX7 presets, patches by sound designer Jexus and more.
New in Elastic OSC v1.1:
- Added DX7 Bank and Wavetable Import: Import DX7 banks from one of the many online sources, create new ones via the Generator link, or edit your bank on the Plaits Sound Editor website
- Added dozens of new presets from sound designer SOI and a new Artist Category for SOI sounds
- Added Preset Compare feature: instantly switch between the current and original preset version
- Improved preset saving: the current preset name now appears in the text field above the SAVE button, making it easier to edit
- Bugfix: fixed audio hum/engine issue that sometimes occurred when opening the app
- Bugfix: incorrect layout on iPad Pro with 13-inch screen
- Improvement: knobs respond more sensitively now
- Improvement: harmonics slider now has 32 steps for OP6 engines (reflecting DX7 preset switches) instead of linear values
- Bugfix: Improved DX7 envelope behavior – the app now more accurately reflects the envelopes of DX7 presets. Some of your OP6 presets might sound a bit different, but they are now much closer to the original hardware sound”
Elastic OSC is available now for $9.99.
