Tessarine

Four voices, every range.

The everything pitch engine: four voices from three octaves down to three up with fine tune, level, pan and delay each; chord-friendly or single-note mode, formants kept or moved, detune spread and a feedback path that climbs in cascades.

How it is made

Original sOURnd design blending general techniques: a sinusoidal phase vocoder on the analytic signal with a low-delay asymmetric window, whole-lobe resynthesis, transient phase reset and cepstral formant keeping (poly mode); pitch-synchronous overlap-add grains driven by a YIN tracker with full-rate refinement (mono mode); equal-power panning, per-voice delay lines and a soft-limited feedback loop through the shifter. Ranges informed by our own measurements of octave and pitch pedals.
