String Theory is a flexible, delay based, physical modeling synth which is capable of a very wide range of plucked strings, atmospheric pads and ambiences, and unique hybrid synth sounds.
Experimentation is encourraged as it will likely lead you to sounds you may not have expected this synth to make.
String Theory also offers dual phrase arpeggiators. Each arp has its own speed, gate, and octave controls; which allows for far more complex patterns than the average arp and can also help better simulate guitar finger picking.

Ambient texture generator. It's based on a dual synthesis engine (1 substractive oscillator + 2 wave players), completed with several randomization options and a battery of built-in effects. It also features a good set of 24 presets.
* Dual synthesis architecture. The sound is generated by the conjunction of 1 subtractive oscillator (7 waveforms) and 2 WAV files with samples from real solar sounds. * Wave loading option. The users can substitute the 2 internal waves (SOLAR MODES) their favourite .WAV files. * Randomization capabilities. The sampled waves (SOLAR MODES) pass through three consecutive note-sequencers (MUSIK, GROOVE and VARIATIONS), which reproduce MIDI patterns that can be combined in several ways. The subtractive oscillator (HELIOS HEARTBEAT) features also its own 3 self-generative modes of randomization, called QUANTA, VOICES and MULTIPLIER. * Built in effects. The synth has a bank of selectable send effects, which includes chorus, delay, random and filter, and another 4-Mode filter (Lo Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Band Reject) completes the signal path after the master out. * 3 note polyphonic. * Completely automatable via MIDI CC. * Includes 24 Factory Presets to give and idea of the potential of the synth. * Moderate CPU use (+-20% Athlon 1200).
* Realtime, Polyphonic, Multi-timbral synthesizer. * Microtonal capabilities with any scale, any number of notes per octave (up to 127) and keymapping.
* 3 synthesizer engines:
ADsynth" or "ADnote" is a complex engine which makes sounds by adding a number of voices. Each one has filters, envelopes, LFOs, morphing, modulation (Ring Modulation, Phase Modulation, the modulators can have any shape), resonance, etc. Each voice includes a very powerful waveform generator with up to 128 sine/nonsine harmonics. This engine includes antialiasing.
"SUBsynth" or "SUBnote" is a simpler engine which allows you to make sounds by subtraction of harmonics of sounds from white noise.
"PADsynth" or "PADnote") makes beautiful pads and other instruments.
* Instruments can be organized in kits, which allows you to make drum kits or layered (mixed) instruments; this makes it possible to use more than one instrument for a single part. It is possible to choose what items from the kit should be processed by the Part's effects.
* Effects: Reverb, Echo, Chorus/Flange, Phaser, AlienWah (a kind of vocal morpher), Distortion (Waveshaping), EQ, DynamicFilter.
* The effects can behave as System Effects or as Insert Effects; this allows you to use many effects at the same time. You can put any insert effect on any part (or more insert effects to same parts, if you like) or you can put the insert effect to Master output. Also, you can have instrument's effect (that is saved with the instrument). * Filters up to 60dB/octave (or more); filters can be analogue (LPF,HPF, BPF,etc.), formant (advanced formant filters) and state variable (SVF). * Envelopes can have ADSR (or ASR, etc.) modes or can be free modes (with any shape). * Many settings have a "randomness" option; this produces a very pleasant effect (like analogue synths or natural instruments that can't produces exactly same sound twice). * Intuitive and easy to use User Interface. * MIDI support (supports many controllers) and (if you want) JACK support. * Virtual Keyboard. * It is free, licensed under version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
Peach is a synthesizer based on the classic Nintendo entertainment system's psg audio system. More than 30 waveforms from many memorable sounds and tones have been meticulously deconstructed and tamed.
Snorgan combines a waveform (selected from an internal bank of sixteen) with a secondary harmonic tone. The combined signal is sent through dual 2-pole filters and a delay/flanger effect. The filters' cutoff frequencies and the delay length can be modulated by low frequency oscillators.
This instrument uses formant synthesis to generate rich, breathy pads sounds. The synthesis engine features 2 tuned oscillators and 1 breath oscillator, processed through 2 formant filters. The filters are controlled with an ultra-slick X/Y control pad, enabling realtime automation of complex morphing effects (for instance, from a "a" vowel to a "e"). Predefined formants are available, but it's also possible to define your own ones with the built-in formants editor.
Ultra-rich vocal pads are possible, thanks to the combination of unison mode, granular delay, chorus and reverb. The midi automation capabilities of Angelina are perfect for these long, evolving, breathy synth choirs.
Features:
* 2 tuned oscillators and 1 breath oscillator. * Graphical multipoint envelopes with curvature controls. * X/Y control pad for formants morph control. * MIDI control with assignable controllers. * Unison mode, chorus and reverb for ultra-rich vocal pads.
ABSYNTH 3 brings dozens of new features that greatly expand its already extraordinary sound spectrum. The powerful synthesizer now incorporates a new user interface with convenient one-window editing, envelope-controlled surround sound features, live audio inputs, real-time fractalization, unison mode, advanced envelope control, 2 new special effects and 256 additional presets.
