Binary is beautiful

A digital recording is just a sequence of numbers. Easily quantifiable
as ones and zeros, stored on physical media, combined together into
larger numbers to form a continuous stream of data.
Surge - Digital and proud of itUntil you listen to it. Then it becomes
real.
Surge is an instrument capable of generating truly beautiful sequences
of numbers. Your ears will agree with us.

More than the sum of its parts

Architecturally speaking, Surge is a rather complex synthesizer. But
because of how it's put together it's still easy to learn. Once you
do, you will turn the sounds in your head to audio faster than ever.
The effortless workflow, attention to detail and the sound quality
can't really be appreciated without trying it yourself.

Specifications:

General

* Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid
* Each patch contain two 'scenes' which are seperate instances of the
enitre synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for
layering or split patches.
* Quick category-based patch-browser
* Future proof, comes as both a 32 & 64-bit VST plugin (Windows PC)
* Universal Binary for both VST and AU (Mac)

Factory sounds

* 1010 patches
* 183 wavetables

Oscillators

* 3 oscillators/voice
* 8 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sine, Wavetable, Window,
FM2, FM3, S/H Noise and Audio-input
* The classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dualsaw oscillator
with a sub-oscillator and self-sync.
* The FM2/FM3 oscillators consists of a 1 carrier with 2/3 modulators
and various options.
* Most algorithms (except FM2, FM3, Sine and Audio-input) offer up to
16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
* Oscillator FM/ringmodulation
* Most oscillator algorithms (except FM2/FM3) are strictly band-
limited yet still cover the entire audible spectrum, delivering a
clear punchy yet clean sound.
* Noise generator with variable spectrum.
* Visual feedback of k

Filterblock

* Two filter-units with arrangeable in 8 different configurations
* Feedback loop (number of variations inside the parenthesis)
* Available filter-algorithms: LP12 (3), LP24 (3), LP24L (1-4 poles),
HP12 (3), HP24 (3), BP (4), Notch (2), Comb (4), S&H
* Filters can self-oscillate (with excitation) and respond amazingly
fast to cutoff frequency changes.
* Waveshaper (5 shapes)

Modulation

* 12 LFO-units available to each voice (6 are running on each voice
and 6 are shared for the scene)
* DAHDSR envelope generators on every LFO-unit
* 7 deformable LFO-waveforms + 1 drawable/stepsequencer waveform
* LFO1 allows envelope retriggering when used as stepsequencer
* Extremely fast and flexible modulation routing. Almost every
continuous parameter can be modulated.

Effects

* 8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts/scene, 2 sends and 2 master
effects
* 10 top-quality algorithms: Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, EQ,
Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo-image control & limiter), Rotary
speaker, Frequency shifter, Vocoder

System Requirements (Windows PC)

* A computer running Windows 2000/2003/XP (32/64-bit) or newer
* The computer's CPU must support the SSE instruction set. This is
supported on Intel Pentium 3/4/M, Core, Core2 and AMD Athlon
XP/64/X2 (and newer) processors.
* 256 MB RAM
* A VST-compatible Host application
* An x64-compatible CPU, OS and Host is required to use the 64-bit
version

System Requirements (Mac)

* Requires Mac OS X v.10.3.9 or later.
* Any Intel Mac or a PowerPC Mac with a 1GHz G4/G5 or faster CPU
* 256 MB RAM
* An AU or VST2.4-compatible Host application

Version 1.5.3 notes:
* OSX AU: fixed bug that prevented surge from passing the AUVAL tool
in snow leopard. As a result, it wouldn't load in Logic.
* OSX VST: fixed crash caused by snow leopard no longer allowed setting
the SSE control register directly.
