Multi-Engine Video & Audio Showcase

Watch and hear an original 19-track progressive and symphonic-electronic arrangement created entirely with Charisma—blending analog brass, sequenced bass, FM bells, physical strings and winds, and multi-track percussion using only the plugin’s built-in studio effects.

Five Synthesis Engines + Integrated Drum Workstation

Layer up to five distinct synthesis engines simultaneously, route engines into each other for hybrid textures, and drive complete rhythmic arrangements from a single instrument.

Virtual Analog & Poly Drift

Three rich oscillators paired with a sub-harmonic generator, ring modulator, and an independently routed noise generator.

  • Up to 8× Stereo Unison per Oscillator with pulse-width modulation, hard sync, and cross-modulation.
  • 32-Voice Analog Drift adding subtle organic voice-to-voice variations in pitch, filter cutoff, and stereo panning.
  • Fractional Sub-Oscillator supporting classic octaves as well as musical sub-fifths and sub-thirds.
  • Independent Noise Routing keeping transient breath separate from main lowpass filter sweeps.

8-Operator Free-Routing FM

Move effortlessly between instant 4-knob macro tweaking and a full 8×8 modulation matrix with cross-engine phase modulation.

  • 14 Visual Algorithm Templates plus one-click operator voice presets and four high-level Macro Morph dials.
  • Multi-Mode Operators that function as sine/wave oscillators, wavefolders, resonant filters, or ring modulators.
  • Cross-Engine FM Coupling allowing Virtual Analog, Wavetable, Granular, or Physical layers to modulate FM carriers.
  • Dedicated Per-Operator Envelopes with adjustable curve tension and velocity tracking.

Spectral Wavetable & Granular Clouds

Smooth wavetable morphing and phase warping paired with an expressive multi-grain cloud engine for evolving pads and textures.

  • Drag-and-Drop Custom Audio Import for both custom wavetables and user granular audio files.
  • Real-Time Phase Warps & Mutants including Sync, Bend, PWM, Wavefold, Bitcrush, and Harmonic Stretch.
  • 32-Grain Texture Clouds with continuous control over grain density, size, stereo spray, pitch shimmer, and time-freeze.
  • Stereo Warp Spread for wide spatial movement that remains clean in mono mixes.

Expressive Physical Modeling

Ten acoustic resonator topologies bringing organic plucked, struck, bowed, and blown character to hybrid sound design.

  • Strings, Pianos, Winds, Reeds, Brass & Mallets responsive to velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel, and pitch bend across the keyboard.
  • Cross-Engine Acoustic Excitation allowing you to bow or strike physical resonators using Wavetable, Analog, or FM signals.
  • 9 Playable Articulation Modes including velocity-split pluck/bow, legato slurs, damped hits, flams, and sustained rolls.
  • Adjustable Body Resonance & Mic Mixing to blend close transient detail with warm room character.

12-Voice Drum Workstation

A dedicated 12-track percussion synthesizer and 32-step polymetric groove sequencer built directly into the instrument.

  • Electronic & Acoustic Percussion Voices covering punchy analog kicks, snares, hats, toms, cymbals, and melodic percussion.
  • 32-Step Grid & Euclidean Sequencer with per-step Normal, Accent, Ghost, and Ratchet states plus turnaround auto-fills.
  • 16 Drum Kits & 48 Multi-Genre Grooves with Drum Kit Lock for auditioning patterns across different kits.
  • 9 Stereo DAW Output Pairs (18 Channels) for mixing individual drum stems on separate DAW faders.

Dual-Filter Bus & 11-Stage Studio FX

Sculpt each engine through flexible dual-filter routing followed by a reorderable 11-stage studio effects chain.

  • 6 Filter Routing Modes including Serial, Parallel, and Split Per-Engine across 21 analog, comb, and vocal formant filter models.
  • 32-Slot Mod Matrix, LFOs & Dual 16-Point MSEGs plus a 32-step polyphonic arpeggiator with bi-timbral keyboard split.
  • Modulation & Tone Shapers: 9-Model Drive/Amp, Ring Mod, String Resonator, Spatial Chorus, BBD Flanger, 12-Stage Phaser, and Compressor.
  • Time, Space & Mastering: Ducking Tape Delay, 5-Mode Shimmer Reverb, 3-Band Multiband Dynamics, and 4-Band Parametric EQ.
