Nostromo is a spectrum-table based synth for the Reason Rack, designed to provide a never-ending source of auditory modulation and changing textures. It provides three independent oscillator sections, each containing a sweepable, nine-slot spectrum-table. Fill your table from the 3800 spectrum catalog to produce infinite sonic combinations. Each oscillator contains a dedicated table-sweep LFO with 1000 different waveforms. Run each oscillator section through 4 multimode stereo filters, hosting analog modeled ZDF filters, saturating comb filters, and an amplitude/ring modulator. Sculpt your sounds with six DAHDSR looping envelopes, six additional LFOs, and a massive modulation matrix providing 69 modulation sources, 163 modulation destinations, 8 external CV ins, and 8 external CV outs. External audio inputs are also provided to allow Nostromo to act as a dual filter and effects device. A built-in patch generator creates sounds beyond comprehension.
