What this is

A hybrid synth for mobile-suit sound effects, voiced for the fat, layered, heavily-processed style of 80s and 90s anime. Each hit stacks detuned 3-operator FM chains at several octaves, filtered noise for thrusters and vents, a high-Q resonator bank for armour clangs, and a sub oscillator for weight — then pushes the lot through analogue-style drive, a stereo doubler, ping-pong tape echo and a plate. Hit a Hangar Bank pad for a fresh random variation, or pick a fixed Preset, then tweak the faders and export a stereo .WAV.

Lock FX

Lock FX pins the Girth & Space block — stacking, detune, drive, width, echo and plate. While it is lit, pads, presets and Mutate only change the voice; your effect settings carry over untouched, so you can audition the whole hangar through one space. The faders stay editable while locked.
