[PD] Nice distortion

Yes, the Abelton guys are pretty savvy to the academic computer music scene.

Operator is a really nicely designed software synth that mainly does FM, but
also has filters and oscillators good for subtractive synthesis. The key
feature of it for me are the envelope generators, which have all sorts of
interesting looping modes that can create all sorts of textures. It was
designed by Robert Henke of Monolake fame.

It also has a perfect GUI and is incredibly quick to realize complex sounds
with it.

Ableton showcase on Operator: http://www.ableton.com/operator

This video shows a lot of the neat features. It is a presentation given by
Henke at a trade show, and is quite remarkable:

Maybe it will inspire some other ideas?

Enjoy the new year!
