New Synth For Mac And Windows


LOM says that JONO is a software musical instrument inspired by modular synthesizers, and that, by providing a mixture of classical and experimental elements, it can serve as an interesting addition to your setup or as a standalone tool. Here's the details in their words...

The sound starts with pair of oscillators, modulated by the layered LFO and the sequencer. Each oscillator has a couple of ranges and waveshapes, but the real treat is the LFO modulation, which allows you to mix three different LFOs into patterns and rhythms in a very simple yet powerful interface enhanced by the oscilloscope.

The mix of these oscillators passes through the state-variable filter, which is modulated by yet another layered LFO, offering three standard filter functions - lowpass, highpass and bandpass.

At the end of the signal chain you can find a stereo echo and a recorder - for recording short bits of your work right away, without connecting additional software.

The sequencer works as you expect it to - providing control over the amount of steps, variable loop length and the speed for each sequence (two sequencers for two oscillators).

JONO comes with a set of presets, but also allows you to save your own. For people who don't like looking for the right sound for long time, we added a 'RANDOMIZE' button, which randomizes the whole setup.

JONO supports MIDI - both for classic pitch control from a MIDI keyboard - as well as for control of the main parameters with knobs or sliders.

Sounds pretty cool; the random function and LFOs are real fun to play with.
