PolyHarp vs TriplexSnapper Usage & Stats
PolyHarp is a virtual musical instrument and a thought experiment.
It takes the basic idea of a chorded zither and extends it to large numbers of chord choices, made out of any kinds of intervals, multi-string courses, fretting, and massive polyphony. It's a testbed for harmonic theory as well as a great multi touch simulation of the good old "idiot zither" you have in the attic. PolyHarp can translate many of these innovations to MIDI and is a powerful MIDI controller.
PolyHarp comes with a large number of presets, exploring many variants on stringed instruments, but its real power is its ability to build strange new chords, layouts, and controls into otherwise impossible instruments.
PolyHarp supports Audiobus 3, including saving setups, and IAA.

Triplex Snapper is a percussive synthesizer plugin made especially to produce sounds like snare drums, wooden blocks, metal plates, hihats, crashes and all the in-betweens, while using the same crunchy, yet punchy retro FM synthesizer engine known from Triplex Classic and Triplex Kicker.
The 6 macro controls have been set up in a way to easily morph between different shapes and materials:
- With "surface" you control the stiffness of the material.
- "Detune" lets you tune the second drumhead/cymbal against the fundamental.
- And with "blend" you can mix between the pure drumhead sound and the drum wire or cymbal sounds.
The envelope can then be manipulated with the attack, combined decay/release and sustain controls. To top it off you can of course bend the drum in impossible ways with the integrated LFO.
KNOWN ISSUES:
As of right now the standalone app does not support incoming Midi. Please use TriplexSnapper hosted as an AUv3 plugin.
