Annulus is a polyphonic resonator and effects engine built for sound designers who think in texture, not presets. At its heart is a faithful implementation of the physical modeling engine behind Mutable Instruments’ Rings — one of the most celebrated modules in the history of Eurorack — paired with a full effects chain and a visual interface that breathes with the sound.

Six modes. Six physical models. Six complete sonic identities.

The engine
Annulus routes your signal through four linked processors:

Rings: a MIDI-driven polyphonic resonator based on Mutable Instruments’ Rings, running six distinct physical modeling algorithms. Eight voices spread across the stereo field with velocity and position randomization for organic variation on every hit.

Spiral: a stereo tape delay with tempo sync, ping-pong routing, wobble modulation, and saturated feedback.

Velvet: an algorithmic reverb with shimmer, diffusion, ducking, and a four-second tail.

Distortion: twelve waveshaping models at 2× oversampling, from soft tube warmth to asymmetric fuzz.

Four macro knobs: Morphe, Aigle, Nothros, Topos. Reach across the entire chain simultaneously. One gesture shapes the resonator, the delay, the reverb, and the drive at once. Topos also integrates into the visualizer’s rotation, tying the image to the physics of the sound.

Morphosis

Modal resonator — the original Rings algorithm

The filter bank that made Rings famous. Morphe adjusts the stiffness and spacing of modal partials, moving from tight harmonic clusters into rich inharmonic shimmer while the fundamental stays anchored. Stable and musical, with warm amber tones on a burnt sienna background. The classic starting point.

Sympatheia

Sympathetic strings — ensemble in a box

Six virtual strings that retune themselves in response to incoming pitch, producing the swelling unison and shimmer effect of a sympathetic string instrument. Morphe sweeps the interval relationships; Aigle controls how quickly the strings glide into tune, from instant to languid and out-of-focus. Coral and maroon over a deep purple slate, warm and restless.

Bathmos

Karplus-Strong string — from wood to metal

A plucked string model with tunable dispersion. Near center, Morphe sounds like a natural string. Push it outward and the partials spread into clangy, bell-like inharmonicity. High settings introduce a stochastic noise into the delay line that gives notes an unpredictable shimmer, like a string that isn’t quite behaving. The only mode with per-slider macro colors: red, orange, green, blue on parchment white.

Anomalia

FM voice — ratio walks

FM synthesis inside the resonator. Morphe steps through a quantized table of carrier-to-modulator ratios, moving from clean harmonic intervals through irrational, clanging relationships. Aigle pushes the modulation index — low for pure tones, high for sideband-rich noise. Every Morphe position is a different instrument: marimba, bell, metallophone, something with no name. Pale cream on deep red, minimal and stark.

Donisis

Quantized sympathetic strings — chord engine

The sympathetic string model locked to fixed chord shapes. Where Sympatheia glides freely between intervals, Donisis snaps to presets — octave, minor, major, sus4, minor 7th, major 7th, and more. Morphe steps through eleven chord voicings; the current chord name displays beside the knob. Less a texture and more a harmonic tool — play a note, choose the chord it lives inside. Cool gray-green on silver.

Antron

String and reverb — ambient string

The Karplus-Strong model with an internal reverb baked into the resonator’s tail, before the signal reaches Velvet. The result is warmer and more diffuse than Bathmos — notes bloom rather than decay cleanly. Good for pads, atmospheric textures, and anything where the line between instrument and space should blur. Copper on near-black.

EVOX Calypso is an experimental sound, performance-oriented virtual musical instrument that is designed for creating cinematic ambient soundscapes, sound structures, and atmospheric and ethereal textures, as well as more traditional synthesizer sounds that can be layered to create a tremendous variety of spatial sounds. EVOX Calypso sounds extend to unattainable distances, immersing you in unexpected worlds. The tool includes more than 128 ready-to-mix presets.

EVOX Calypso is Free/Donate. The Free version has some limitations. A version available to supporters includes a package of additional presets for synthesizers, effects, and track models.No installation is necessary, and it works without problems in Windows XP and Windows 10 (32/64-bit). (EVOX Calypso is 32-bit.)
EVOX Calypso is an standalone tool application for Windows that employs Wavetable / Granular synthesis in two separate and programmable layers each with extensive FX, Modulation Matrix and Chord Sequencer modules which provide the user with maximum control over unique sound creation.
As an experimental synthesizer, it radically departs from standard type instruments and is meant to be used as a laboratory for the exploration of new sonic and timbral creations. Playing EVOX Calypso is not like playing a conventional synthesizer, it does not have a keyboard and MIDI GUI like conventional synthesizers. Sound manipulation is carried out by built-in modulators and sequencers.
EVOX Calypso also has an 8-track sequencer with up to 64 steps for each track. Each track is essentially a separate synthesizer that can be recorded and played back in sync with the other tracks. Mini compositions can be made by merging these tracks together.

Padulator is designed with the idea of making rich interesting pad-type sounds, although it’s capable of much more.

Due to the novel algorithm employed (details in the download) it uses a lot of CPU, so it may be best to render the tracks and freeze the plugin. Alternatively you could use the Recorder to make clips and samples, and just use those.
