Installation & aut orization procedure
Together with the download link from Share-it you have received attached to the product delivery
email a keyfile called 'Nemesis.t2k'.
This file contains your personal serial number & your name and is used to unlock the full version.
Automatic Installation (recommended) for PC & Mac
1. Close your host (Logic, Live, Cubase, etc.)
2. Install the full version of the plugin. Note: the demo version cannot be unlocked
3. Open your host program
4. o a plugin rescan in the host if it does not list Nemesis. etailed instructions on how to
perform a rescan can be found in your host's manual
5. Open Nemesis
6. Click on the activation box in the middle
7. Select your keyfile 'Nemesis.t2k' to activate the full version
8. Restart the plugin. Note that some host programs may require a complete restart
Click inside the activation screen to browse – select your Nemesis.t2k keyfile.
Manual installation for PC
1. Close your host (Logic, Live, Cubase, etc.)
2. Install the full version of the plugin. Note: the demo version cannot be unlocked
3. Copy 'Nemesis.t2k' to the VST directory. Steinberg hosts often use C:\Program
files\Steinberg\VSTplugins as the default plugin path. You can also take a look at your host's
folder configuration. Note that the 'Nemesis.t2k' keyfile should be inside the same folder that
the Nemesis.dll is in.
4. Open your host program.
5. o a plugin rescan in the host if it does not list Nemesis. etailed instructions on how to
perform a rescan are found in your host's manual.
6. Open Nemesis. Now the normal user interface appears. If this is not the case, close your
host and go back to step 3, as most likely you did not copy the keyfile to the right place.
Manual installation for Mac
1. Close your host (Logic, igital Performer, Live, Cubase, etc.)
2. Install the full version of the plugin. Note: the demo version cannot be unlocked
3. Copy 'Nemesis.t2k' to 'Library/Audio/Plug-ins'. The correct path for the file is:
'/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Nemesis.t2k'.
4. Open the host.
5. o a plugin rescan in the host if it does not list Nemesis. etailed instructions on how to
perform a rescan can be found in your host's manual
6. Open Nemesis. Now the normal user interface appears. If this is not the case, close your host
and go back to step 3, as most likely you did not copy the keyfile to the right place.
Welcome - NeoFM
Welcome
Welcome to our latest synth, Nemesis. Nemesis takes FM synthesis to its next evolutionary step:
NeoFM synthesis.
Aside from NeoFM synthesis, Nemesis features an astounding selection of no fewer than 22
combinable synthesis types. From Waveshaping, Phase istortion, Sync, Wavetable, Ringmod,
Vintage FM, up to the Reso and Advanced Formant Synthesis exclusive to Nemesis.
Each synthesis type is built with attention to sound quality, musical potential and the capability to
produce a wide variety of sounds not possible with other synths.
You can resynthesize a waveform from your own samples, or use the comfortable additive spectral
editor to further manipulate & shape your wave by editing its partials.
With several play modes such as polyphonic, monophonic & legato, true 4x stereo unison, 22
synthesis types, and an unlimited number of waveforms, the sky is the limit...literally. .
What is 'NeoFM synthesis' (NeoFM synthesis)
NeoFM is an exclusive new and improved approach to FM synthesis that is extremely powerful and
intuitive.
Nemesis includes traditional FM synthesis as well as a completely new and improved approach to FM
called NeoFM synthesis. It is now easier than ever to get very good sounding results.
The sound quality of Nemesis surpasses conventional synths, making it easy to locate the sonic sweet
spot. Nemesis features an easy-to-use interface, which ensures that you will experience FM synthesis
at its best and most entertaining.
FM (Frequency Modulation) is a very powerful synthesis method, capable of creating a wide variety of
sounds, both harmonic and inharmonic. By frequency modulating the timbre of a waveform with a
modulation frequency within the audio range, a more complex waveform can be established.
In the example picture above, FM is shown using two sine waves. The first sine wave is called the
modulating wave, the second is the carrier wave. The modulation wave is used to change the
frequency of the carrier wave.
This is best heard if the modulator wave is running at a low frequency (which sort of sounds like a
vibrato effect). As a rule, the higher the modulation frequency, the more complex your sound will get.
One major advantage that Nemesis has to offer is that NeoFM sounds very good with any kind of
waveform, whereas most other FM synths are limited to dark sounding sinoids or triangle waves.
Some of the most interesting timbres in FM can be achieved if you use alternative tunings.
Use for example Tune M1 and constant < > Octave M1 inside of Nemesis' Modulation
Matrix, tuning the modulator to a non standard tuning.
Some words about 'FM' and its history
From the technical point of view, traditional and conventional 'FM' synths like the X7 did not do
frequency modulation, but rather phase modulation (PM).
Here the phase of a carrier oscillator is changed by a modulator oscillator. The advantage of PM is that
it is easier to calculate for the chipsets.
Since the X7 was limited to the use of sine waves there was not a big audible difference between FM
and PM.
We assume that this is the reason it was marketed as an FM synthesizer, although it was a Phase-
Modulation synthesizer from the technical point of view.
Later models like the X11 adopted the phase modulation approach, added alternative waveforms
besides sine waves and were also marketed with the successful and popular term 'FM'.
However, the phase modulation approach has a major disadvantage: it is limited to very dark sounding
waveforms like sinoids and triangles. Most of the time classic waveforms such as Sawtooth and
Square waves do not sound good with this. PM often creates a sharp, aggressive, and disharmonic
sounds with lots of energy in the high frequency spectrum. Furthermore the traditional approach
suffers from disharmonic sounding aliasing, or a dull, bell-like sound.
In the analog realm, a handful of synthesizers does 'real analog FM' synthesis, such as the Andromeda,
for example. However these 'real analog FM' oscillators also have drawbacks: they suffer from drift.
With FM and PM synthesis drift is very problematic, because slightly detuned oscillators only result in
heavily detuned sidebands. This means that they frequently suffer from a disharmonic and out of place
sound, In addition to this, they also lack immediate phase control.
W at advantages does 'neoFM' synt esis offer compared to conventional met ods?
• Unrivaled sound quality with a unique signature sound.
• Offers a new and user-friendly approach to FM synthesis. Nemesis makes FM synthesis
accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level or experience.
• Easy to tweak presets or program your own sounds with.
• NeoFM covers all important aspects of traditional FM synthesis, but is in no way limited only
to bell-style sounds. It offers a very large sonic range, one that is much more varied than other
FM synths.
• ue to its innovative technical approach, neoFM does not suffer from a metallic sound or from
the weaknesses of conventional FM.
• No fewer than 22 combinable synthesis types. Nemesis expands FM with further synthesis
methods such as Additive, Formant, Wavetables, Waveshaping, Phase distortion, Sync and
Reso synthesis.
• Contains 1000 inspiring patches from professional designers.
• Nemesis features a large number of exclusive sounds that are not possible with other
synthesizers.
• Perfect for modern as well as all other music styles.
• Wave import, resynthesis and the additive spectral editor offer unlimited sonic possibilities.
• True 4x stereo unison.
• An extensive number of high-end quality effects, with flexible and innovative routing options.
• Trancegate with an extensive selection of setup options.
• High-End sound quality with low demands on your CPU.
• Powerful, easy-to-use arpeggiator.
