Synapse Audio Proxima

Step into the golden era of analog synthesis with Proxima, a meticulously crafted plug-in that brings the iconic warmth and character of a vintage analog synthesizer to your DAW. Powered by advanced circuit modeling, every nuance of the original hardware - from its rich oscillators to its lush filters and saturating amplifier - has been faithfully recreated with unparalleled precision.

Complete fidelity

Proxima is based on a unique analog synth from 1982, famous for its rich 6-voice polyphony, signature Curtis analog chips, and the first synth ever to integrate MIDI input and output.

While Proxima faithfully recreates the tone and character of the original hardware, additional features have also been added to facilitate the creative process and bring the hardware seamlessly into the sphere of soft synths. This includes additional filter types, a powerful modulation matrix with 10 slots, a comprehensive arpeggiator/sequencer, as well as an effect section to further shape the sound.

Proxima is available in VST®, AAX and Audio Unit formats, and supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), as well as the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS).

Powerful Arpeggiator/Sequencer

Designed with ease of use in mind, the Arpeggiator/Sequencer in Proxima has an accessible and straightforward interface that simplifies the process of adding rhythmic or cyclical elements to a patch. Simple though it may be, it's also highly programmable and capable of complex modulations by virtue of its inclusion as a modulation source in the Mod Matrix.

Advanced effects algorithms

The effects section plays an important role in sound design. From soaring electric guitar-style leads to larger-than-life pads, the effects applied to a patch are a significant part of what gives it its final timbre.
