Wow, SoundTools AD/DA, that goes back some years. I assume that all your apps are Atari and not Mac?

soft synth and turbo synth are 2 different
programs
they both have similar capabilities
ihave a soundtools 2 ad/da with an external box
that takesa stereo jack and a spdiff input
and sounddesigner2
now soft synth was designed for doing
wavetables
it did it like the se synthesis on the emax1 where
you set the amplitudes for a series of wave forms made from additive synthesis
and pitch envelopes
you do these 3 and then the program would
interpolate
to create your evolving sound you could then
dump it to a sampler mirage EII emax1 akai and a few others
the emax you can do this from the front panel
