RatSound

Seven instrument families from pure synthesis — no samples, full MPE.

Overview

RatSound is a multi-instrument with no samples in sight — every sound is generated by purpose-built physical-modeling DSP. Seven families (Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Keys, Plucked, Mallets, and Voice) each offer multiple variants, navigated through a simple Family → Variant → Parameter flow: bowed-string and reed waveguides, lip-reed brass, modal mallets, Karplus-Strong plucks, and source-filter vocal models. Full MPE means per-voice pitch bend, pressure, and timbre across 16 voices, so it responds like a real instrument under expressive controllers — all from a plugin that's a few megabytes, not a few gigabytes.
