Mr. Alias Pro 2.4

Mr. Alias Pro

Mr. Alias Pro is a fully professional software synthesizer which exploits the properties of digital audio to achieve extremely bad sounds. It is an essential instrument for the digital purist, building on Mr. Alias 2 and adding some professional features.

Mr. Alias Pro is available as a VST plugin for Windows (32-bit) and Mac OS X (and Linux, if anyone ever asks), and as an Audio Unit for Mac OS X.

Exclusive features in Mr. Alias Pro include:

Better-sounding "Pro" GUI with realistic wood sides
Skinnable
Auto Randomizer
Integrated MIDI keyboard - play with mouse or QWERTY keys (right-click to hold a note)
Modulation of internal parameters from audio input, envelopes, etc
Extra assignable envelope and two LFOs
Glide and Retrigger for legato playing in Mono mode
Set each oscillator to a constant pitch, ignoring MIDI note value
2 more banks of patches
Drawable waveforms (also load/save wav files)
And much more! (not really)

Everything from Mr. Alias 2 is also included:

2 oscillators
18 waveforms
Full stereo processing
6 filter types including a formant filter
Filter envelope
External audio processing (no need to hire Butch Vig)
Patch randomizer button
Highly configurable MIDI control with MIDI learn
MIDI-controllable patch morphing
"Amateur" bank of 128 presets
Drag & drop preset and MIDI map loading

Complete information can be found in the User's Manual.

Download

Each download includes Mr. Alias Pro, the user's manual, three banks of patches, some extra waveforms, and three skins. Mr. Alias Pro operates in Demo mode until it is registered with a license key.

Demo limitations:
1. An box annoyingly bounces around the GUI. It links to this page if you click on it.
2. On Tuesdays, parameters change themselves at random while the GUI is showing.
