Crisalys is a pattern sequencer synthesizer.
Crisalys is a software synthesizer characterized by a powerful audio engine which can work up to 192Khz. The three oscillators are driven by custom waveforms designed specifically to grant top quality sound in any situation. Each oscillator has built-in FM, Ring Modulator and Cross Modulation options controlled by three separate internal LFOs. The Ring Modulator can achieve sound characteristics that can go beyond the common sonorities of this effect, thanks to an internal custom circuit which has been developed for this purpose.
The audio path continues through two multifilters which can operate as state variable filters, analog emulations or in EQ mode. The modulation section offers, in addition to the classic controls (modulation wheel, aftertouch, velocity, etc.), four LFOs, two aux envelopes and two step LFOs which can be used as modulation sources to create atmospheric pads, control the filters, create rhythmic sequences and so on. Each LFO has a special "Quantize" control which can be used to introduce a small (or huge, if turned fully clockwise) variation to the LFO wave and sync speed. Used on pads this can produce interesting effects, adding some granulosity to the sound.
The effect section includes a classic stereo flanger, a delay (which can work in classic or cross mode), a compressor and a reverb. Crisalys features eight built-in step sequencers (up to 32 steps) which can work all at the same time. The active pattern can be edited manually or recorded in realtime using an external MIDI keyboard. The sequencer patterns can be stored in the hard disk as separate pattern files or as a bank of 64 patterns.

That's great VST for amapiano vibe in Africa Afrobeats.

Had problems with Ableton 11 installing. Need to use Jbridge to convert it.

CPU hungry, but produces brilliant sounds

When it comes to these 32bit plugins, jBridger is my best friend. With it, I'm now free to discover, or rediscover, great synths that would've otherwise been put out to pasture ages ago. One such discovery is Crisalys, a synth I'd never heard about till Plugins4free. It works well in Cubase 12, sounds fantastic, and I get a lot of mileage from its powerful arpeggiator.

Great retro sound! Good for sci-fi music!

Absolutely fantastic, I have never used a better plugin in my life

The plugin is great, and still sounds modern, but there is no 64-bit version, which is bad.

Chrysalys is one of the best synths ever made. I make great music with it.
Good synth. However, this uses as much cpu as Serum or Diva on the best sounding pad patches, without the sound quality. Will maybe some of the sounds as layers to use in tunes. I would use this a lot if the cpu weren't so silly.
