FDNCymbal is a free software synthesizer developed by Uhhyou. Available format(s): VST3 for Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.
Note: I don’t have mac so macOS build is not tested. If you find bug, please report it to https://github.com/ryukau/VSTPlugins.
Info: For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.
FDNCymbal is another attempt to make cymbal sound. This one at least sounds like hitting a metal plate unlike WaveCymbal:
- Stick oscillator. Just some impulses and sine waves.
- FDN section makes stick sounds more plausible.
- Schroeder allpass section adds metallic texture to the signal.
- Tremolo can be used to simulate wobbling of cymbal.
JavaScript version is available. Requires browser that supports Web Worker and Web Audio. This is not exactly the same as plugin version, but using similar structure.
