Sound Radix dropped their first synth called Radical1 after years of making mixing plugins, and the additive synthesis engine can supposedly run tens of thousands of oscillators without melting your CPU. The Mac-only preview version lets you morph between timbres with fluid oscillators, draw harmonics directly onto the spectrum, or resample audio into controllable additive structures. The GUI shows everything happening at once with no hidden routing to confuse you, and it supports MPE for expressive controller freaks.
You can stack unlimited layers and modulation sources while the interface scales up for high-res displays. Effects racks cover MIDI sequencing, standard time-domain processing, and spectral manipulation that bends harmonics in weird ways. Formula blocks let nerds write custom DSP code if the presets get boring.
The early access version costs 129 bucks instead of the final 199 price, and buyers get the full release when it ships. Windows people have to wait until next year, but there is a free trial available for Mac users running 10.14 or later.
