JONO is a software musical instrument inspired by modular synthesizers.
By providing a mixture of classical and experimental elements it can serve as an interesting addition to your setup or as a standalone tool.

Features


The sound starts with pair of oscillators, modulated by the layered LFO and the sequencer. Each oscillator has a couple of ranges and waveshapes, but the real treat is the LFO modulation, which allows you to mix three different LFOs into patterns and rhythms in a very simple yet powerful interface enhanced by the oscilloscope.
The mix of these oscillators passes through the state-variable filter, which is modulated by yet another layered LFO, offering three standard filter functions - lowpass, highpass and bandpass.
At the end of the signal chain you can find a stereo echo and a recorder - for recording short bits of your work right away, without connecting additional software.
The sequencer works as you expect it to - providing control over the amount of steps, variable loop length and the speed for each sequence (two sequencers for two oscillators)..
JONO comes with a set of presets, but also allows you to save your own. For people who don't like looking for the right sound for long time, we added a 'RANDOMIZE' button, which randomizes the whole setup.



JONO supports MIDI - both for classic pitch control from a MIDI keyboard - as well as for control of the main parameters with knobs or sliders.
