Nemesis

Tone2

Where to get itAvailable from Tone2tone2.com

Nemesis is a digital synthesizer plugin featuring NeoFM synthesis—an exclusive, improved approach to FM that delivers superior sound quality without the limitations of traditional FM synths. It combines classic digital synthesis methods (additive, waveshaping, phase distortion, formant, and more) with a warm, creamy signature sound, enabling sonic possibilities unavailable in other synthesizers.

Things to Try

  • 01Use FM key follow set to a higher positive value to increase FM modulation on higher played notes and decrease it on lower notes for pitch-dependent timbral control
  • 02Set Filter C to 0 to hear a pure sine wave, then open it fully to audition the entire loaded waveform
  • 03Apply Phase Random modifier in the Spectral Editor to make a waveform sound silky, noisy, and soft, especially effective at low oscillator frequencies
  • 04Use Env1 as a modulation source in the matrix targeting Pitch M1 to sweep the modulator pitch with an envelope, particularly effective in neoFM Hardsync mode
  • 05Click on 'Damp Brighter' in the Spectral Editor's Edit menu when a sound appears too warm or dark due to the filter's steep slope
