Sumu 在软件合成领域开辟了全新天地,它将加法再合成技术与 FM(调频)及矢量场空间化技术融为一体。其围绕独特的多通道 patcher( patch 系统)所设计的十个模块,提供了其他任何乐器都无法企及的音乐创作可能性。
在 Sumu 中,采样声音被呈现为最多 64 个带宽增强的分音(partials)集合,每个分音都拥有随时间变化的可调频率、音量和噪声度。这种声音呈现方式让各类创意变化成为可能,从听感自然的时间拉伸,到奇异的音色操控,皆能实现。借助中央多通道 patcher,声音中的每一个分音都能被独立操控,这种操作体验更像演奏而非编程。选取几个谐波并对它们进行调频?没问题。根据每个分音的频率对其分别进行延迟?当然可以。
Sumu 既能实现空间与时间维度上精准细腻的变化,也能呈现狂野混沌的效果。选取一个采样,挑选几个分音,将它们置于声场中的其他位置;或者彻底“引爆”一切,让每个分音沿着各自的路径飞驰,将其搅动成多普勒频移式的旋风般的合唱效果。
随后,一条溪流汩汩流淌而过,当我们聆听时,独立的水滴声逐渐被引导归位,形成规整的量化节奏。Sumu 中的 Pulses(脉冲)模块,既是再合成的丰富调制器,自身也是复杂声音的源头。它能实现节奏与噪声、有机质感与合成质感之间的平滑过渡。
为了平衡所有这些极具现代感的数字操控,Sumu 配备了一款基于经典四极 Moog 梯形电路设计的模拟建模滤波器。它既能自激振荡,打造宏大的复古音色,也能柔和地打磨掉声音中尖锐的棱角。

Sumu breaks completely new ground in software synthesis, combining additive resynthesis with FM and vector field spatialization. Its collection of ten modules, designed around a unique multi-channel patcher, offer musical possibilities not found in any other instrument.
Sumu breaks completely new ground in software synthesis, combining additive resynthesis with FM and vector field spatialization. Its collection of ten modules, designed around a unique multi-channel patcher, offer musical possibilities not found in any other instrument.
In Sumu, sampled sounds are represented as collections of up to 64 bandwidth-enhanced partials, each with a frequency, volume, and noisiness that can change over time. This representation of sound makes all kinds of creative changes possible, from natural-sounding time stretching to exotic timbral manipulations. Using the central multi-channel patcher, each partial in a sound can be manipulated independently in a way that feels more like playing than programming. Pick a few harmonics and frequency-modulate them? No problem. Delay each partial according to its frequency? Sure.
Sumu enables precise and careful changes in space and time, or wild chaotic ones. Take a sample, choose a few partials, and place them somewhere else in the sound field. Or explode everything and stir it into a whirlwind of doppler shifted chorus as each partial zooms around on its own path.
And then a stream comes burbling through, and as we listen, the individual droplets are gradually nudged into line to make a quantized rhythm. The pulses module in Sumu is a rich modulator for resynthesis, or a source of complex sounds all on its own. It offers smooth transitions between rhythm and noise, organic and synthetic.
As a balance to all of this very modern digital manipulation, there’s an analog-modeled filter based on the classic four-pole Moog ladder design. It can self-oscillate for big vintage sounds, or just round off those prickly edges.
