Introduction
Noxious is a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Additive synthesis consists of adding tens,
hundreds or thousands of individual sinusoidal oscillators to create complex waveforms or
sounds. In theory, additive synthesis is able to recreate any sound imaginable but is
usually a challenge to manipulate.
Noxious takes an intermediate route to additive synthesis by offering a limited mean of
manipulating these sinusoidal oscillators, called partials, through “modifiers” and classical
filters.
