• Unified Wavetable & FM Hybrid Synthesis: 6 versatile oscillators running continuously morphable wavetables, capable of acting simultaneously as FM carriers and modulators.
• Interactive 6x6 FM Routing Matrix: Freely route frequency and phase modulation across all generators with feedback controls and modulatable matrix depth nodes.
• Direct Sample Import & Resynthesis: Drag-and-drop external WAV and AIFF audio files directly into oscillator slots to convert audio samples into playable, interpolating wavetables.
• Expansive 60-Slot Modular FX Rack: 10 studio-grade DSP effect algorithms supporting up to 6 instances of the exact same module in a single patch (up to 60 active effects slots).
• Multiband Compressor with Upward Dynamics: Integrated OTT-style multiband dynamics engine to boost low-level harmonics, control transients, and maximize patch density.
• Multi-Stage Envelope Generators (MSEG / LFO): 6 flexible LFOs supporting multi-node custom curve drawing, step-sequencing, random pattern generation, and direct export of LFO shapes into oscillator wavetables.
• Modern CLAP Architecture: Native CLAP (CLever Audio Plug-in) implementation offering non-blocking parameter automation, polyphonic note modulation, and multi-core thread balancing.
• Low Footprint & GPU-Accelerated UI: Highly optimized DSP algorithms paired with vector graphics rendered directly on the GPU to eliminate CPU interface spikes.

Merging the Best of Analog Warmth and Digital Edge
Producers often have to choose between the harmonic body of wavetable synthesis and the aggressive, metallic transient punch of frequency modulation (FM). Exacoustics Ghost removes this divide. Every one of its six oscillators functions as an autonomous wavetable engine that can simultaneously cross-modulate any other oscillator by frequency or phase.

Transparent Modular Sound Design
Rather than hiding complex synthesis behind endless tabbed submenus, Ghost provides immediate visual feedback. The 6x6 FM routing matrix visualizes modulation depth dynamically, and routing nodes can be modulated in real time using drag-and-drop assignments. Combined with instant sample import and multi-instance effect stacking, Ghost delivers a flexible workflow for modern bass design, cinematic atmospheres, complex arpeggios, and melodic keys.

Oscillator Engine (6 Multi-Mode Wavetable Generators):

• Wavetable Morphing: Smooth frame interpolation across factory banks and user-imported wavetables.
• Sample Resynthesis: Drag-and-drop any audio clip directly into an oscillator to calculate clean, multi-frame wavetables without aliasing.
• 16-Voice Unison per Oscillator: Detailed unison detune spread, stereo widening, and phase position offsets.
• Spectral Filtering & Wave Stacking: Per-oscillator spectral filters, harmonic shifting, phase modulation, and waveform stacking.
• Pitch & Tuning Modes: Independent switching between Semitone/Fine tuning and integer Harmonic Ratios for authentic FM operator behavior.
• Phase Retrigger Controls: Free-running analog drift or key-synced phase resets.

Interactive 6x6 FM Matrix:

• Full cross-modulation routing grid across all 6 oscillators.
• Variable Feedback loops for aggressive harmonic saturation and controlled noise.
• Modulatable FM Depth: Every routing point in the matrix can be modulated dynamically by envelopes, LFOs, or MIDI performance controls.

Ghost breaks traditional fixed signal-chain limitations with an open-architecture modular rack:

• Up to 60 Simultaneous Slots: Load up to 6 duplicates of any effect algorithm in series or parallel.
• Drag-and-Drop Reordering: Rearrange signal flow instantly across the full-width module layout.

Available Processing Modules:

1. Multiband Compressor (Upward/Downward): OTT-style multi-band dynamic controller designed to crush transients and draw out high-frequency detail.
2. Distortion & Drive: High-gain saturation with independent pre- and post-filtering stages.
3. Algorithmic Reverb: High-density reverberation tank with early reflection control and high-frequency damping.
4. Stereo Delay: Tempo-synced dual delay with resonant cutoffs and high feedback capabilities.
5. Multi-Pole Phaser: Deep phase shifter with pole-morphing and stereo panning offsets.
6. Chorus / Flanger: Lush multi-voice ensemble for spatial stereo widening.
7. Filter & EQ: Additional resonant low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and comb filters.

• 6 Multi-Stage Envelopes: Flexible ADSR and multi-segment curves with adjustable segment tension.
• 6 LFOs / MSEGs:
  • Operates as classic cyclic LFOs or continuous multi-segment envelope generators.
  • One-click random shape generator for evolving rhythmic modulations.
  • Save custom drawn LFO curves directly as wavetables for the oscillator engines.
• 6 Dedicated Frequency Mods: Specialized modulation modules for real-time oscillator pitch shifting and harmonic ratio warps.
