Behind the basic and somewhat old fashioned interface lies the heart of a micro synthesizer with enough juice to produce multiple envelopes, waveforms and vibrato. Oh yeah, gotta love that vibrato. Tweak and twirl until you’re satisfied with the results and then save to a .wav file. There’s even a randomizer function which will create a sound for you if you’re too lazy to do it yourself.
