About The Phil
Fancy a synth that actually feels like a "traditional" instrument, but still able to push things a little weirder? The Phil is a fast, expressive AUv3 plucked string synth that brings proper physical modelling to your DAW, no faffing about required. Poke it, pluck it, let it ring out, and it responds like a real string, all wrapped up in a neat little AUv3 plugin for your DAW.
Tucked inside is a built in arpeggiator, designed to create "human" feeling patterns without touching a step sequencer. Add in a solid handful of controls over decay, brightness and damping, themselves with "humanize" controls to mimic how a real hand would move on a string and you can go from delicate acoustic plucks to properly synthetic, metallic textures in no time at all whilst also having the option to turn down the robot vibe if you like.
What you get:
Physical modelling synthesis for genuinely plucky, stringy tones
Built in arpeggiator for patterns that keep things moving
Real time controls to shape decay, brightness and character
Full AUv3 support, slots straight into your host
Light on CPU, so it won't grind your session to a halt
Plays nicely with AUM, Logic Pro, Loopy Pro, Cubasis and GarageBand
Whether you're building layers in the studio or winging it live, The Phil is the sort of instrument that surprises you a little every time you touch it. In a good way.
Search for decibelboy83 on YouTube for a walkthrough video.
Works with: AUM, Logic Pro, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, GarageBand, and any AUv3-friendly host.

Squashing a bug where the arpeggiator wouldn't track along with inputted midi note. Also some nice new pictures of the app in the gallery.
2.0
Thanks for sticking with me. This version now fixes settings persistence between closing and opening of your host DAW project and also allows the saving of presets to work. Furthermore I have increased the size of the buttons, knobs and text to make legibility easier.
