Microphone Mixing
Symphobia allows you to mix the two available microphone sets in realtime. This can be done individually, using the vertical mic faders, or together, using the horizontal cross fade slider. This slider smoothly morphs between a close and a stage mix allowing you create your own unique microphone mix.
Switch or Stack
A simple button allows you to choose your prefered method of articulation selection. In Switch mode, articulation selection works as of old: key-switching between one articulation at a time. In Stack mode, multiple articulations can be toggled on or off.
Toggling articulations
To change articulations simply click an articulation name to toggle between activating and deactivating it. This way you can easily combine multiple articulations and perform them together.
Purging Articulations
By default, all articulations are loaded into memory, regardless of whether they are activated or deactivated using the toggles. This way, toggling articulations works instantaneously. To save processing power and memory you can unload articulations.
Reviews
"Symphobia is a very impressive product. It's inspirational, yields fast results and sounds extraordinarily realistic"
Music Tech - 9/10
"This is a major release, packed with top-notch multisamples, effects and noises that could successfully underscore any on-screen event, from a minor traffic collision to the destruction of the universe. Symphobia screams 'cinematic'."
Sound On Sound - 5/5
"It's a genuinely inspirational instrument and if it doesn't fill you with ideas, you're in the wrong game."
Future Music - 9/10
"For the past 3 years Symphobia has been my go-to software synth for anything string-related. ...Massive sections to weird effects, it's got it all."
