A virtual instrument for Mac and Windows that uses FM synthesis to simulate the sound of reed organs/harmoniums, accordions and melodicas

There are two Reed Banks modelled in Peti, with the same parameters available independently for each Bank.
These Reed Banks are responsible for the basic timbre of the instrument. However the two Reed Banks are not identical, which means that swapping settings between Bank 1 and Bank 2 may change the overall sound. 

Parameters are:
- Brighter : Adds more high frequencies in the timbre.
- Harmonics: Two different harmonic 'flavours' for each Reed Bank.
- Modulation: This parameter controls the overall amount of harmonics added.

Global Controls

Resonance: This parameter sets how much physical resonance is modelled to simulate the wooden body of the Harmonium.
Chorus: This parameter controls the effect which is often called 'musette' or 'tremolo' in accordian terminology.
Ratio: This parameter changes the pitch difference between the two Reed Banks.
Breath: This parameter controls the amount of 'air noise'. 
Keys: This parameter controls the amount of keyboard noise simulated.

Volume: This parameter controls the output level of Peti.
Pitch: This parameter controls the master fine-tuning setting. 
Velocity Sensivity: This parameter allows you to adjust the instrument's response to MIDI velocity. 
MaxVoices: This parameter sets the polyphony of Peti, from 1 (mono legato) to 16. 
Keyboard Coupler: This control emulates a mechanical 'coupler' which is found in some Harmoniums. It causes two notes to be played simultaneously by one key, with an interval which may be set to an octave, a fourth, or a fifth. 
Scale Changer: This control shifts the keyboard pitch up to 5 semitones up or down. This allows the player to change key but retain the same fingering, e.g. to play Eb major scale all on white keys.
