On faster computers MetaSynth can preview more than 400 oscillators in real time. The Preview Sound function can be very CPU intensive, performance will vary depending on the speed of your machine. If this happens, you'll hear the audio playback start to cut in and out. At this point it's best to Synthesize the current Pict in order to hear the sound playback properly. MetaSynth is designed so that you can jump right in and have a blast working with sound and image.
Experimentation is encouraged.
Paint any image to modulate MetaSynth's source sounds. Explore harmonics, scales and time dimensions, wield powerful signal processing and image tools. It is especially useful for cleaning up vinyl or VHS audio recordings before transferring them to digital media. Ray Gun zaps the noise, but leaves the original signals intact. It's that simple.
