Description: Dive into a new realm of sound design with Dixie, a powerful Max for Live synthesiser built with a brand-new synthesis method combing Phase Distortion and Phase Modulation called Wave Pulse Phase Modulation (WPPM for short). This offers a fresh approach to creating unique expressive, complex tones. This synth is also fully MPE-enabled, allowing you to explore a new dimension of gestural control in your presets.

Dixie includes a comprehensive Install Guide, User Guide and Cookbook to get you making inspiring sounds as quick as possible.

Key Features:
• Powerful WPPM Oscillator – Shape your sound with detailed control over 13 parameters for a vast range of tonal possibilities, all of which can be monitored on the scope to fully understand how they each change the sound.
• Noise and Filter – Add gritty character by blending resonant band-passed noise into the phase signal before reading the cos wave buffer, then refine the result with a clean, smoothing low-pass filter for a balanced, textured sound.
• 7 Versatile Modulators – Featuring two envelopes, two LFOs, a sample and hold, a random modulator, and a unique combination modulator with seven modes for blending two modulation sources for complex, dynamic control options.
• 14 Modulation Sources with Extensive Routing –14 modulation sources, including 7 flexible modulators and 7 mappable MIDI sources. Route these across 18 destinations in a powerful 250-cell matrix for intricate, dynamic gestural sound design and evolving textures.
• Voicing Modes – Dixie provides versatile voicing options with up to 16-voice polyphony or a monophonic mode featuring selectable legato or retrig behaviour. Includes a glide control adjustable from 0 to 1 second for smooth pitch transitions.
• Customizable Chorus Effect – Select from four lush chorus presets with increasing intensity and fine-tune the effect with a 0-100 amount control, adding depth and dimension to your sound.
• 75 Inspiring Presets – Start your journey with a diverse collection of sounds including: Bass, Drum, FX, Keys, Pad, Pluck and Lead.
• Dynamic Colour Scheme – using Max’s live.colors object, Dixie will always blend in with your Live theme to make it look right at home.

a youtube demo would be nice and helpful. is there sounds from this somewhere on line?
Thanks for your interest! I've just uploaded a video on Gumroad where I demonstrate creating sounds for bass, pad, and lead patches using the synth so you can get a good idea of what it’s capable of and how quick and easy it is to make cool sounds.
Really versatile and well designed synth, the presets provide lots of inspiration
