Summary

Sinoid is a virtual instrument that explores mutated sine waves as the foundational element of sound. It offers a range of analog-based sine waves and sampled pure-toned instruments, processed extensively to deliver diverse sonic textures from sharp and rugged to ambient and ethereal.

Features

• Includes 9 'Origin' instruments sampled from analog sine waves and acoustic sources like bass clarinet, bass and alto flutes, bass and tenor ocarinas, vibraphone, glockenspiel, and singing bowls.
• 23 'Mutation' sound design patches in three categories (Stygian, Ethereal, Ravaged) that dynamically transform and mutate sounds using dual complementary layers controllable via modwheel.
• Chromatically sampled recordings with up to 60 seconds length, resulting in dynamic variations across the keyboard.
• Requires SINE player supporting standalone and plugin formats: VST, VST3, AU, AAX.
• Recorded in 24-bit / 48 kHz quality with multiple close microphones mixed into one intimate mic position for richness.
• Optimized for resource management with mic merging and selective instrument download options.

System Requirements

• macOS 10.15 or higher, Intel Core i5 or similar, Apple ARM chipsets supported, minimum 8 GB RAM (16 GB+ recommended)
• Windows 10, Intel Core i5 or similar, minimum 8 GB RAM (16 GB+ recommended)
• A 55 GB sample library (21 GB compressed via SINEarc)

Use Cases

Sinoid is ideal for composers and sound designers seeking experimental and deep sonic textures derived from the sine wave’s fundamental characteristics, suitable for ambient, cinematic, and experimental music.
