Foil is a Max for Live additive synthesizer device.

Foil uses eight sine wave oscillators: Oscillator 1 is triggered by the ADSR envelope in the front, while Oscillator 8 is triggered by the ADSR envelope in the back. Meanwhile, Oscillator 2 ~ 7 in between follows an interpolated envelope value.

Individual oscillators can be tuned to the harmonic series, or detuned to build inharmonic timbre with relative ease. The pitch envelope helps create complex timbral gestures: from slowly detuning pads, metallic risers, or piercing percussion.

Foil provides unmatched sound design capabilities at your fingertips.

Features:

Unique Double ADSR interface that simplifies additive synthesis.

Manually detunable sine oscillators for harmonic and inharmonic spectra.

Loop-able pitch envelope for unique timbral gestures.

Foil is developed by Takuma Matsui. You can check out his other works here.
