Hey! I'm Jaron Sweder, a music producer and software developer. I have been working on this incredibly powerful additive/spectral VST synth called "Spektral" for the past 2 years. It's still in beta, but it's finally at a stage where I can get other people to play around with it.

The little demo video shows a simple EDM bass and some simple drums. But this synth is also great for percussion, complex ambiences, and you can even use it as a vocoder using the sidechain input.

The core of this synth is a 'spectral table'. This is a 512x512 table of spectral data. You can load an audio sample into this, or even an image. This data can then be manipulated and modulated in many different ways. And eventually it will end up interacting with 1 of 3 'spectral parameters'. For the default 'Additive' mode, these parameters are level, frequency, and phase. This means you get precise control over the level, frequency, and phase of all individual 576 partials that are generated in the 'Additive' mode. There's also a 'Resonator' mode, which is a bank of 512 resonators, where you get control over the level, frequency, and decay time of each individual resonator. This mode approaches physical modeling, and with a bit of messing around you can make organic sounding real instruments. And because it's all coming from these spectral tables, you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want. You can just load a random sample into it and mess around. Or craft a very specific 512x512 image file to do exactly what you want. It's also very easy to make variations of the same sound, just load a different sample into the table! Check the user manual for more information, which can be found in the link below.

The demo is available for MacOS and Windows, both downloads can be found on this page, as well as a link to the user manual. It also comes with a handful of presets to play around with that show what it's capable of: https://shop.kaixo.me/product/Spektral

If you have any questions/feedback/suggestions/issues, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM!

DISCLAIMER: I want to be clear that this is a demo version, it will not save its state, and you cannot export audio from your DAW in this version. Unfortunately, given how much time I've put into this insanely powerful and highly optimized synth, I can't afford to make it available for free. Hence the limitations. I know this sucks, and if I didn't need the money I'd make it free in an instant. But such is life...

Hey, I'm Jaron Sweder, a 25 year old music producer and sound designer from The Netherlands. I'm looking for any project that needs music or sound design.

I have been making electronic music since I was 15, and started focusing on other genres like Orchestral, Electronic Metal, and anything else that I found interesting for the last 4-5 years. I've released with several labels under my artist alias 'Kaixo', and did official remixes for big artists like Celldweller, The Browning, The Anix, and more.

I also have a degree in Computer Science, and I have experience with FMOD. So if you need help integrating the sound into your project in any way, I can definitely help out with that!

My interests lie mostly with sci-fi or horror. I love writing energetic, high-pace music, and creating ambiences to set the tone of an environment. But I am always looking for new challenges!

Here's my portfolio, if it doesn't contain exactly what you're looking for, I am always open to create a custom demo for your specific project, to see if it could be a match! https://jaronsweder.com/portfolio

Just send me a DM and we can discuss any details, I would love to help take your project to the next level! Or if you prefer you can also email me at jaron@sweder.music

Hey just wanted to share this OST I wrote for an itch.io OST jam that happened last month. The challenge was to write 1 hour of music within a month. It's a mix of electronic and orchestral, with massive inspiration taken from the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided OST.

If you're a game dev looking for music or sound design, my DMs are open! I've been making music for 10 years, and have experience with FMOD. Here's my full portfolio: https://jaronsweder.com/portfolio

I'm a music producer and composer with over a decade of experience making air wiggle. I'm looking to join any indie developer teams who are working on a game that needs music. I do electronic music, metal, ambient, and orchestral. Just shoot me a DM telling me about the game and the team, and we'll take it from there!

Will also mention that I have a degree in Computer Science, so I can help out with integrating any music system into the game if necessary.
