synthtopia reported that Voidscan has introduced Parasite, a new experimental FM synthesizer plugin designed for macOS and Windows. The product utilizes three-operator synthesis across six algorithms, incorporating processing specifically intended to alter and distort the resulting audio output. This tool is built around extensive modulation and deliberately degraded sound processing to create unique textures.

The manufacturer includes three freely drawn low-frequency oscillators that can each use eight shapes and be routed to 64 destinations. These LFOs allow for complex modulation routing within the architecture. The plugin also includes per-voice effects and a 32-step gate for rhythmic control. Additional features involve patch randomization, mutation tools, and a preset library containing 153 sounds to assist users in starting their compositions quickly.

According to the release details, the plugin is available immediately at a launch price of 59 euros. The software targets producers seeking unconventional textures through its degraded sound processing capabilities. This release expands the current market for experimental synthesis tools, offering retailers a new inventory option for digital audio workstations. This addition provides distributors with another product to list for musicians looking to explore FM synthesis with built-in distortion and modulation options.
