reFX Rippler is an innovative software synthesizer designed for musicians, producers, and sound designers who want to explore the creative possibilities of physical modeling synthesis. Instead of relying solely on traditional sample playback, Rippler uses advanced resonator technology to recreate the behavior of acoustic materials, allowing you to produce expressive instruments as well as completely original synthetic sounds.

Its hybrid architecture combines modal synthesis with classic subtractive synthesis, giving you the flexibility to blend realistic resonances with modern electronic textures. The dual-layer engine includes multiple resonator models, oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and a comprehensive modulation system that makes complex sound design both powerful and intuitive.

Rippler features a collection of mathematically modeled acoustic resonators capable of producing strings, bells, plates, tubes, drums, marimbas, vibraphones, membranes, and many other resonant characteristics. The unique energy-coupling system creates dynamic interactions between resonators, resulting in organic, evolving sounds that respond naturally to performance dynamics.

For creative experimentation, the plugin also supports user-defined resonator configurations, audio input processing, microtuning, MPE compatibility, flexible modulation routing, and a modular effects chain with professional-quality processing. Whether you're producing cinematic scores, ambient music, electronic genres, game audio, or experimental soundscapes, Rippler provides an inspiring platform for modern synthesis.
