Introducing the Fold oscillator, new in Stacks v1.3 -> https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6ECRKtL5o/

Fold uses two wave shaping algos derived from classic 'west-coast' synthesis techniques of the 1970s.

In a typical subtractive synthesis setup we take a rich waveform (saw/square) and filter it, with Fold we take a simple waveform (here its a sine wave) and we add harmonics by folding / shaping the waveform. Paired with Stacks' Low Pass Gate (another west-coast staple) you can achieve Buchla Bongos , Subotnick Silver Apples & Ciani Concerts. tip- use the built in spring reverb!

Stacks' original waveTABLE oscillator also gets a major upgrade adding 18 new wave banks, giving you smooth, interpolated access to 1,152 new waveforms containing robotic speech, glassy bell tones and 90s microwave pads. Hook up some LFOs and explore!

Under the hood the core signal chain has been upgraded giving you way more headroom and there's significant performance improvements - memory usage is down by 60% letting you use more instances of Stacks simultaneously.
