- What kind of synthesis does Atoms use?
- It uses physical modeling, simulating masses and springs rather than oscillators and filters. That is why its sounds drift and evolve instead of holding still.
- Which DAWs and formats does it support?
- It runs as AAX, AU and VST3 in 64-bit hosts on macOS 10.11+ and Windows 10+. There is no standalone version, so you need a DAW.
- How many computers can I activate it on?
- The perpetual license covers activation on three devices for one user. Activation is online.
- Is Atoms good for realistic piano or bass parts?
- No. It is built for textures, pads and evolving soundscapes. For realistic instruments, a sampled or modeled piano or bass library is the better choice.
- Does it need much disk space?
- Yes, plan for about 10 GB of free disk space. A 64-bit Intel or Apple Silicon Mac or a Windows 10+ PC is required.
- Is it worth it over a standard soft synth?
- If you want movement and unusual textures, its modeling engine offers something most subtractive synths do not. If you need bread-and-butter leads, basses and keys, a conventional synth covers more ground.
