KarmaFX Figure 16
There are other oscillator types in KarmaFX including a Sampler module and Noise generator. There are almost a dozen Modulator modules and nearly a dozen Filter modules, yet I never felt overwhelmed. Oh, and the synth kept working, no crashes, stable as they come. You get the sense, after spending some time with KarmaFX, that this is a refined instrument, one that has been lovingly crafted and improved over time by Master Nielsen, and it shows as well in the 7 banks of pre-made KarmaFX patches and user banks, containing more than 1300 patches. I'll leave you with two: the "Virus sample" (Figure 16) patch showing the use of the Sampler Generator as well as the Phaser and Delay Effect modules; the "Phat Square"(Figure 17) patch showing the Unison Controller module that initiates many instances of a generator with slightly detuned frequencies for that "phat" sound. KarmaFX is a solid performer and a delight to use. Bob Moog would be proud.
