ADDITIVE RESYNTHESIS · AFTER THE TECHNOS ACXEL
AXCEL
Every partial, hand-drawn.
Modeled after the Technos Acxel — a Quebec-built additive synthesizer from 1986-1992, with somewhere between 30 and 40 units ever made. Two engine slots share one wave bank, one Grapher, and one mod bus: Slot A is the Acxel's additive and sinusoidal resynthesis engine, Slot B is a wavetable machine, and you can run either or both at once.
- Acxel-accurate additive engine: up to 32 partials per voice, each independently addressable on the Grapher for amplitude, phase, and detune
- Sinusoidal resynthesis — drop a sound on the Grapher and it gets broken into partials you can then reshape by hand
- Grapher works across five views: Amplitude, Integer, Beating, Phase, Wave, and Vol Env, all editable with the mouse
- Dual-engine architecture: Slot A (Acxel) and Slot B (wavetable) share one wave bank and one mod bus, blend or crossfade between them freely
- FM/phase mod stage, three-LFO modulation section, and an "Acxelize" freeze function that locks a spectrum in place
- EZ button for an instant usable patch; the Grapher is where the real depth lives once you start drawing
