Crisalys is a software synthesizer characterized by a powerful audio engine which can work up to 192Khz. The three oscillators are driven by custom waveforms designed specifically to grant top quality sound in any situation. Each oscillator has built-in FM, Ring Modulator and Cross Modulation options controlled by three separate internal LFOs. The Ring Modulator can achieve sound characteristics that can go beyond the common sonorities of this effect, thanks to an internal custom circuit which has been developed for this purpose.

The audio path continues through two multifilters which can operate as state variable filters, analog emulations or in EQ mode.
The modulation section offers, in addition to the classic controls (modulation wheel,
aftertouch, velocity, etc.), four LFOs, two aux envelopes and two step LFOs which can be
used as modulation sources to create atmospheric pads, control the filters, create
rhythmic sequences and so on. Each LFO has a special "Quantize" control which can be
used to introduce a small (or huge, if turned fully clockwise) variation to the LFO wave and
sync speed. Used on pads this can produce interesting effects, adding some granulosity to
the sound.

The effect section includes a classic stereo flanger, a delay (which can work in classic or cross mode), a compressor and a reverb.
Crisalys features eight built-in step sequencers (up to 32 steps) which can work all at the
same time. The active pattern can be edited manually or recorded in realtime using an
external MIDI keyboard. The sequencer
patterns can be stored in the hard disk as separate pattern files or as a bank of 64
patterns.
