Binaural Acid

New 3D/4D binaural-sounding synth from G-Sonique

Acid sound is just a hoot. Acid sound has been around for almost 40 years. But people want to hear something new, a new sound, progress, innovation. Acid sound is great, but it needs something new. While regular acid synthesizers are usually mono, our new Alien4DX is not stereo, it is 3D binaural.

What does that mean?

This sound is not only stereo, but the entire topology (the internal “wiring” of virtual-analogue circuits and cables, which are simulated through codes and modules) contains the so-called binaural topology, which emulates analogue binaural circuits (yes binaural technology can be 100% analogue not only digital) and dsp chips.

What is it about?

This special approach can create the feeling/impression that the sound is in a real 3D/4D space! Yes, you only need two speakers or headphones, and you don’t need quadraphonic sound. This is not some simple reverb. Binaural technology is based on special psychoacoustic principles that can create three-dimensional sound and place sound in space. Instead of boring 2D mono sound, the listener finds himself in a magical three-dimensional or four-dimensional world. The sound of the synthesizer seems to come to life.

How is this achieved?

Part of the algorithms is secret, but what we can reveal is that procedures that simulate the real world are used – just as you always have only one pair of ears (not 4), you can still focus the sound in space and determine where it comes from – whether from behind, side, front, left, right (this is what evolution has allowed us to survive – we detected where the sound of a tiger or a bear that wanted to eat us was coming from). How is this possible? Well, the ear and brain can also detect a subtle difference in the time shift of sound – the sound reaches the left ear a few milliseconds later than the right ear if the sound/sound source comes from the right. In addition, the sound source is frequency and phase shifted and distorted. Thanks to this, we not only hear stereo, but we can also determine the direction from which the sound is coming – whether the source is in front of us or behind us, left or right. These principles of space and hearing simulation, including phase and frequency distortions and modulations, are also used by our binaural technology, and not only that.

Compare boring 2D/mono sound and the new Alien 4DX binaural topology.

This is one of the first acid synthesizer VST plug-in instruments with this technology.

Give your tracks a new dimension, a new evolutionary sound and amaze your listeners at home or at a party.

In addition to the unique 4D binaural topology, this is a classic but modernized acid lead synthesizer that has up to 9 different filters, 14 oscillators, chosus-unison emulation, ping-pong delay, analog and normal mode and many other features.

The synthesizer is perfect for many genres of electronic music: acid, rave, full-on psytrance, acid house, acid techno, trance and tech trance, electro house, edm, breakbeat, hardbass, soviet chardbass, experimental and many others.
