Explore Creative Synthesis With Real-Life Acoustic Character
Chromaphone 3 is a two-voice synthesizer based on physically modelled acoustic resonators. This versatile instrument provides a delightful mixture of real-life presence and distinctive timbres that can’t be found anywhere else.
Home View
With macros mapped to key sound characteristics—modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect—the Home view presents a distraction free and laidback browsing and tweaking experience.
Jump Right In
With Packs, Sounds, Categories, and Creators views, Chromaphone 3’s brand-new browser offers an efficient way to home in on the sounds you’re looking for.
Two-Voice Multitimbral
Chromaphone 3 combines two independent timbres – stacked or split – to create performance-friendly, texture-full, and spacious sounds that are sure to make a good impression.
Mix And Match Resonators
Chromaphone 3 is the first synthesizer to take into account the effect of coupling between resonators. A proprietary technology precisely models the bidirectional nature of the energy flow between the resonators and how they interact thereby capturing key acoustic behaviours of musical instruments.
Multi-Effect Galore
Chromaphone 3 holds an abundance of effects in three independent racks. Reverb, delay, distortion, phaser, chorus, flanger, filters, equalizer, compressor, guitar amplifier, tremolo – all assist in putting the final touch on a sound.
Per Sound Midi-controlled Variations
Chromaphone 3 now boasts four performance macros per layer that respond to user-defined MIDI controls. Each and every sound features modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect morphing assignments that can be played in real time for enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.
Factory Library
Chromaphone 3 ships with a completely new factory library of 421 sounds created by top sound designers.
Michel Basque, Christian Halten, Jerry Kovarsky, Christian Laffitte, Niall McCallum, Adam Pietruszko, Daniel Stawczyk, Sean Divine, and Venus Theory form an incredible team that made the most of the latest Chromaphone 3 features.

"... one of the most realistic-sounding – and one of the most downright fun – plugins I’ve ever played with, Chromaphone 3 gets even deeper and more versatile, expanding its sonic range without taxing the mind."

"Chromaphone 3 is a virtual instrument quite unlike any other, at least that I’m aware of. Chromaphone has long been a star in the AAS lineup. With version 3, it further secures its place as a virtual instrument of much consequence. I’m a big fan of C3 … a huge fan, to be honest. I think there’s a reasonable chance you will be as well."

"This is an incredible synth from AAS. On the face of it, calling it an acoustic object synthesiser doesn’t really give you a full picture, it can produce a huge range of sounds from traditional percussion sounds to chimes to completely unexpected ones like arps and organs."
