ONE LINE
--------
A dirty FM synthesizer with drawable LFOs, per voice drive and fold, and a
random button engineered to land on patches that sound.


ONE PARAGRAPH
-------------
Parasite is a three operator FM synthesizer built for texture and sound design
rather than the classic FM repertoire. Its distortion stage runs on each voice
instead of the output, so a chord keeps its intervals instead of turning to
mud. Its random button does not throw a value at every parameter: it works
inside the ranges those parameters actually use, so it lands on something
usable far more often than random values would.


FULL DESCRIPTION
----------------
Parasite is a dirty FM synthesizer, not another DX7 clone. It is built for
textures and sound design, and it can write a full patch on its own.

It has two faces. The Home panel keeps only the controls that decide what the
sound is, around a raymarched visualizer driven by the voice itself. Everything
else sits behind an Advanced button, and every control on the front page exists
there too.

Random generates complete patches. Rather than assigning a random value to each
parameter, it works inside the ranges those parameters actually use. Mutate is
the same recipe with an amount control: fully open it arrives where Random
would, and below that the current patch moves that far towards it. Parameters
slide, waveforms jump, and anything locked stays put.

Three operators with customisable harmonics through six algorithms. Three
drawable LFOs onto any parameter, including filter cutoff, reverb size and
delay time. Three macros on the front page and a Time macro that runs the whole
patch slower or faster. A filter, a pitch envelope, a delay and a reverb.
Liquid and Rubber, two effects that push the sound towards those materials. A
Volume Shaper working as a gater, and a drive and a fold that run per voice.

The factory bank holds 153 presets across eight categories: bass, lead, pluck,
keys, pad, texture, drums and FX. Presets can be filtered, favourited, gathered
into packs from an online dashboard, and sent to another Parasite user in one
click from inside the plug-in.
