Pixelwave

Phase distortion synthesizer inspired by mid-1980s Casio CZ-series synthesis. Three oscillators plus one sub-oscillator with 11 waveforms per oscillator. Phase distortion creates timbres by mathematically distorting sine wave phase relationships.

Three editing modes: Matrix Mode (oscillator parameters with Select knob accessing different parameters, bypass switch solos each oscillator), Adjust Mode (filter cutoff, pick attack sensitivity, clean blend), Lock Mode (master volume, preset recall). 11 user-savable presets.

Brings Casio CZ-style phase distortion to guitar—an under-appreciated mid-80s synthesis technique fundamentally different from subtractive or FM synthesis. Oscillators can be offset over 4 octaves by half-step increments with fine-tuning. Covers string ensembles, filter sweeps, and resonant textures.
