PHASE-CANCELLATION SYNTH · 16-STEP SEQUENCER WITH PARAMETER LOCKS
RHEEZUS
Our first synth that's digital and proud!
Two oscillators sharing one phase accumulator, deliberately out of phase and summed so they cancel into a new waveform — a real null, not a slow beat — while a hand-drawn XY envelope rotates the phase for as long as you hold the note. Digital oscillators feeding analog filter models, on purpose: the crush and the cancellation are unashamedly numerical, and the filter is where the circuit lives. A static phase offset is just a comb filter and a ceiling — hard sync, audio-rate rotation, and phase feedback are what break past it.
- Two oscillators, one shared phase accumulator, deliberately out of phase and cancelled together — hard sync, audio-rate phase rotation, and phase FEEDBACK all break past what a static offset can do
- Four genuinely different filter topologies, not a relabeled ladder — Moog, Roland OTA, and a Korg MS-20 model where the scream comes from diodes clipping the resonance path, exactly like the real circuit
- 16-step sequencer with true parameter locks — every step can hold a complete sound, not just a note, with drag-to-copy and a density-preserving RND that mutates instead of re-rolling
- FIDELITY steps oscillator bit depth from 16 down to 1 before the cancellation stage; COMBINE switches the cancellation math itself between SUM, DIFF, RING, MIN, MAX, and XOR
- Six-voice polyphony on a shared decimator and smoother bank, plus a MONO mode that restores true legato slide for the sequencer
- 4x oversampling with first-order ADAA on the fold/wrap stage — measured 3.5% inharmonic energy where naive folding leaves 41.6%
- EZ randomizes the whole patch — waveforms, phase, the drawn envelope, sync, wrap, fidelity, filter — and stamps the result straight into every armed step
