Sonicbits 开发的 Silk 是一个虚拟模拟合成器插件,专门针对单一波形:锯齿波。
Silk 有两个锯齿振荡器,它们分别产生 7 个组合发音的齐奏声音。这个“多锯齿”的部分可以失谐和混合,从而产生一个非常“富有空气感和明亮的声音”,其中蕴含很多谐波。还有一个附加的噪音振荡器可以增加一些脏感。
这些振荡器构成了 Silk 的声音核心。然后这个声音会经过滤波器塑形。除了减法合成中经典的低、中和带通滤波器,Silk 还有一个共振峰滤波器,可以产生类似嗓音的声音。
特点:
- 2 个无混叠多锯齿振荡器。
- 1 个噪音发生器。
- 共鸣滤波器,有 6、12、18 和 24db/osc 低通,12 dB/oct 高通以及带通。
- 共振峰滤波器,带有针对元音的预定义的设置。
- 2 个调制 ADSR 包络。
- 2 个 LFO,可同步到宿主。
- 灵活的调制矩阵,有 8 个槽位。
- 效果部分,有 2 级合唱、立体声延迟和混响。
- 16 复音。
- 超过 70 个按类别组织的预设。
- 基于矢量的可缩放用户界面。
- 运行在 Windows(VST2 和 VST)和 Mac(AU、VST2 和 VST3),只有 64 位。

Silk is a virtual analogue synthesizer plugin dedicated to a single waveform: The sawtooth, which is among the most used and common waveforms to create sounds with subtractive analog and virtual analog synthesis.
Silk has got two sawtooth oscillators which each generate an unison sound of 7 combined voices.
These parts in this “multisaw” can be spead and blended in, leading to a very rich airy and bright sound with lots of interesting harmonics. An additional noise oscillator can add some dirt.
These oscillators build the sonic heart of Silk. This sound is then shaped by the filter. In addition to the classic low, high and bandpass filters often used in subtractive synthesis, Silk has also got a formant filter which produces voice-like sounds.
Combined with a flexible modulation matrix, a creamy chorus, stereo delay and reverb effect, Silk has got sounds that can be used in all types of electronic music.
