Good heavens! With Virtual Voltage Technology
Waves are not known for their virtual instruments, but their new Waves Element Synthesizer has added a new string to their bow.
Its also been endorsed by Mr Jordan Rudess - which is unsurprising in itself, but does indicate that they are taking this seriously.
Element appears to be a traditional 2 Oscillator polysynth with the usual architecture, and features something called Virtual Voltage Technology - Waves own version of a virtual analog engine I guess.
Their site was struggling to serve up the video when I looked so you'll need to check back - perhaps they'll get something onto Youtube. Its creator Yoad Nevo demonstrates the on board sequencer and other features.

Oscillators
- OCT determines the pitch range.
- TUNE determines the pitch.
- FINE fine-tunes the pitch.
- TYPE determines the waveform type.
- PW determines the pulse width. (Pulse waves only)
- VCO selects between virtual Voltage-Controlled Oscillation and virtual Digitally- Controlled Oscillation.
- SINE MOD controls the modulation of OSC 1 using a sine oscillator. (OSC 1 only)
- FM (Frequency Modulation) controls the amount by which the frequency of OSC 2 is modulated by OSC 1. (OSC 2 only)
- PhM (Phase Modulation) controls the amount by which the phase of OSC 2 is modulated by OSC 1. (OSC 2 only)
- SYNC synchronizes the triggering the OSC 2 waveform to the rate of OSC 1.
Additional Oscillators & Mix Section
- SUB mixes in a triangle wave one octave below OSC 1.
- NOISE mixes in white noise.
- RING controls the ring modulation of OSC 1 and OSC 2.
- OSC 1 / OSC 2 activate each oscillator.
- MIX balances the mix between OSC 1 and OSC 2.
- MONO toggles between monophonic and polyphonic modes.
- RTRG controls envelope re-triggering.
- UNISON activates a doubling effect which creates a richer sound.
- PORT determines the glide time (portamento) between notes.
- LEGATO determines whether glide will always occur, or only when the previous note is still held.
Voltage Controlled Filter
- TYPE determines the filter type.
- SLOPE toggles between two types of pole filters.
- CUTOFF controls the VCF cutoff frequency.
- RES controls the amount of filter resonance.
- ENV determines the envelope's cutoff modulation depth.
- KBD controls keyboard tracking using C3 as its reference point.
- FM controls the amount of frequency modulation on filter cutoff by OSC 1.
- ADSR determines the filter's envelope cutoff behavior after a note is triggered.
- VEL sets the VCF cutoff in relation to the Note On velocity.
- SHAPE determines the contour of the envelope time constants.
Voltage Controlled Amplifier
- VCA envelope controls the note level from trigger to release.
- VEL sets the envelope depth in relation to the Note On velocity.
- SHAPE determines the contour of the envelope time constants.
- PUNCH controls the dynamic transient enhancer.
- TYPE controls the LFO waveform shape.
- RATE controls the frequency of the free LFO.
- TIME controls the rate of the synced LFO, locked to the project BPM.
- LED displays pulsate at the same rate as the LFOs.
- VEL sets the envelope depth in relation to the Note On velocity.
- SHAPE determines the contour of the envelope time constants.
Modulation Matrix
- PHASE inverts the phase, per assignment.
- SRC determines the modulation source.
- DEST determines the destination of the modulation source.
- MOD sets the amount by which the modulation source affects the destination.
Arpeggiator/Sequencer
- MODE determines the operational mode.
- OCT determines the range, in octaves, of the arpeggiator.
- TIME (drop-down) activates the host BPM sync function, and sets the rate using note values.
- RATE sets the arpeggiator rate when TIME is set to Free.
- GATE determines the length of each sequencer step as a percentage of its note length.
- STEPS determines the number of steps in the current sequence.
- SWING pushes even-numbered notes/steps toward the next odd-numbered note/step, to create a shuffle/swing feel.
Effects
- DIST controls the amount of distortion effect.
- PRE/POST is a toggle control which determines the placement of the distortion effect in the signal path, either pre-VCF or post-VCF.
- CRSHR is a distortion-like effect which simulates a reduction in the bit-depth and resolution of the sound.
- DELAY is a stereo delay allows separate delay times for left and right channels, using note values.
- LEFT sets the delay time for the left channel.
- RIGHT sets the delay time for the right channel.
- MIX determines the amount of delay effect in the mix.
- FEEDBACK determines the amount of gain fed back to the delay input.
- REVERB controls both the amount and size of the virtual plate reverb sound.
- CHORUS determines the amount of chorus modulation.
EQ
- HiPASS controls the high pass filter frequency.
- LoPASS controls the low pass filter frequency.
- 100 controls equalization at 100 Hz.
- 600 controls equalization at 600 Hz.
- 1500 controls equalization at 1500 Hz.
- 9000 controls equalization at 9000 Hz.
Global and Out Sections
- TEMPO displays the current tempo.
- SOURCE determines the clock source.
- VOICES determines the number of voices which may be played simultaneously.
