FM and additive
FM, additive synthesis and spectral resynthesis, to build sound from its harmonics or rebuild a recording as an instrument.
Meet The Harmonic Pulsar
Sampling and granular
Capture a moment, then break it into grains for vast evolving clouds, intricate rhythms and time itself reshaped.
Meet The Particle Star
Physical modelling
From vibrating strings and resonant bodies to expressive, voice-like textures. Shape the physics of sound and feel every note respond.
Meet The Resonant Star
Percussion
Drum synthesis, sampling and rhythm in one instrument, where every strike has its own character.
Meet The Kinetic Star
Mathematical
Order, chaos and emergence, in sound built from the fundamental structures of mathematics.
Meet The Origin Star
Flagship synthesizer
Connect the sounds, parameters and Motion Waves of all seven stars. Create evolving musical systems and shape them into playable instruments of your own.
Discover StarShaper
Seven stars. Infinite possibilities.
StarShaper™ is Xionia’s flagship synthesizer, uniting seven extraordinary synthesis engines in one instrument. Their sounds, Motion Waves, rhythms and musical behaviours shape one another. Create living musical systems, with harmony and composition across them all, then shape them into playable instruments of your own, ready to share or to become part of the next one you make.
Coming to macOS and Windows, as VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP plug-ins and a standalone app.
Building an app or interactive experience? StarShaper for developers
The stars and StarShaper share one architecture, Xionia Core, so every star has Motion Waves of its own and a sound made in any star opens in StarShaper, still editable.
