NuEdge Development is a Swedish audio software company that develops VST/AU synthesizers and audio effects which can be used in wide array of digital audio workstation (DAW) programs. NuEdge Development produces audio software under the brand name Sonic Charge, as well as in cooperation with other companies such as Reason Studios and Yamaha Corporation.
History[edit]
NuEdge Development was founded in Stockholm, Sweden by programmer and musician Magnus Lidström in 1993. Later that year, the company developed the audio software, Typhoon, for the Yamaha TX16W sampler.[1] In addition, NuEdge Development programmed the popular granular synthesizer, Malström, for Propellerheads’ 2.0 release of the digital audio workstation Reason.
Sonic Charge[edit]
In 2003, Magnus Lidström founded the brand Sonic Charge to professionally develop and publish his own audio plug-ins under a separate brand name from NuEdge Development. In December of that year, Sonic Charge released its first product, the drum and percussion synthesizer, MicroTonic, as a VST audio plug-in compatible with Windows operating systems. The plug-in's compatibility was extended to Mac OS X operating systems in 2005 following Audio Units (AU) support added in the version 2.0 release. MicroTonic received favourable reviews from buyers and helped fund development for Sonic Charge's next product, Synplant.[2][3]
Synplant[edit]
Sonic Charge released the granular synthesizer, Synplant, in February of 2008. The plug-in has a unique, "organic" approach to analogue sound design and "gene-altering" morphing parameter interface.[4][5] Synplant has been used by several prominent electronic artists including Flume, Grimes, Droeloe, Zedd, and more. As of 2024, Synplant is ranked the 16th best synthesizer plug-in by Equipboard.com.[6][7][8]
