Sonigen Modular

Sonigen Modular free software-synthesizer by Sonigen

Sonigen Modular is a free software synthesizer developed by Sonigen. Available format(s): Stand Alone, VST for Windows.

Sonigen Modular is a modular software synthesizer which combines the freedom and flexibility of classic modular synthesis with the benefits of a modern software implementation. The user interface is quick and intuitive to use while still affording the sound designer great freedom. The audio processing algorithms are of high quality while still being CPU efficient.

Features:

  • Sonigen Modular is fully modular, with as many modules and patch cables as you want.
  • It combines polyphonic voice and static effect processing in one window. That means you can have multiple MIDI notes playing multiple voices, mix them all down to a single stereo stream and route that through a modular effect chain.
  • It is fast and intuitive to use, almost everything is done in the main module window. There’s no separate schematic / GUI views, no macro modules, no separate FX window. You can see what is going on just by looking at the main window.
  • Great sound quality. A huge amount of time has been put into developing high quality algorithms. It has very good aliasing rejection in most cases.
  • It is CPU efficient. This doesn’t mean corners have been cut. It means hand tuned assembly and run time optimization. The audio processing code is dynamically assembled and optimised in real time as you edit and play.

SonicPhoto

SonicPhoto free audio-converter by Skytopia

SonicPhoto is a free audio converter plugin developed by Skytopia. Compatible OS(s): Windows .

SonicPhoto is an audio program to convert from pictures, photos and drawings to sound. Each picture has its own ‘signature’, and SonicPhoto will allow you to hear what the picture sounds like.

Higher parts in the picture create higher pitches, while lower areas create deeper tones. Likewise, brighter areas make that tone louder (and darker areas, quieter).

Also included is an instrument/harmony feature so you can create stunning tonal sounds, such as sparkling synths, rippling arpeggios, howling winds, deep organs, dazzling lasers, roaring bass and metallic drones.

Features include:

  • Create an infinite variety of sounds ranging based on the patterns in any picture.
  • Instrument and harmony quantization so you can create tonal sounds.
  • Dozens of in-built presets, so you can immediately try sounds out and experiment.
  • Convincing stereo is automatically added to all sounds.
  • Very easy to use GUI with everything you need at a click of a button.
  • Well thought out system to loading and save custom projects.
  • Instantly adjust the quality to suit your needs (low for preview, high for final result).

Uses:

Experimental composers will appreciate the otherworldly sounds SonicPhoto can produce with ease. Sounds lasting up to an hour in length can provide a backing soundtrack to a film, or be mixed with a piece of music to enrich the atmosphere.

On the shorter end of the time scale, sounds lasting less than half a second can be rendered, with all the aforementioned options such as tonality and frequency adjustment to hone the sound to your requirements.

Video demo:

See SonicPhoto in action with this video demonstration below (also see right for MP3 only samples).

Sonic Visualiser

Sonic Visualiser free spectrum-analyzer by Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary

Sonic Visualiser is a free spectrum analyzer plugin developed by Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

Sonic Visualiser is an application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files. The aim of Sonic Visualiser is to be the first program you reach for when want to study a musical recording rather than simply listen to it.

As well as a number of features designed to make exploring audio data as revealing as possible, Sonic Visualiser also has powerful annotation capabilities to help describe what you find, and the ability to run automated annotation and analysis plugins.

Features include sophisticated spectrogram views; multi-resolution waveform and data displays; manual annotation of time points and curves; measurement capabilities from spectrogram and spectrum; playback at any speed; looping and playback of discontiguous selections; ability to apply standard audio effects and compare the results with their inputs; and support for onset detection, beat tracking, structural segmentation, key estimation and many other automated feature extraction algorithms via Vamp audio analysis plugins.

Sonic Visualiser contains features for the following:

  • Load audio files in WAV, Ogg and MP3 formats, and view their waveforms.
  • Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with interactive adjustment of display parameters.
  • Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining segments, point values and curves.
  • Overlay annotations on top of one another with aligned scales, and overlay annotations on top of waveform or spectrogram views.
  • View the same data at multiple time resolutions simultaneously (for close-up and overview).
  • Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch detectors and so on.
  • Import annotation layers from various text file formats.
  • Import note data from MIDI files, view it alongside other frequency scales, and play it with the original audio.
  • Play back the audio plus synthesised annotations, taking care to synchronise playback with display.
  • Select areas of interest, optionally snapping to nearby feature locations, and audition individual and comparative selections in seamless loops.
  • Time-stretch playback, slowing right down or speeding up to a tiny fraction or huge multiple of the original speed while retaining a synchronised display.
  • Export audio regions and annotation layers to external files.

The design goals for Sonic Visualiser are:

  • To provide the best available core waveform and spectrogram audio visualisations for use with substantial files of music audio data.
  • To facilitate ready comparisons between different kinds of data, for example by making it easy to overlay one set of data on another, or display the same data in more than one way at the same time.
  • To be straightforward. The user interface should be simpler to learn and to explain than the internal data structures. In this respect, Sonic Visualiser aims to resemble a consumer audio application.
  • To be responsive, slick, and enjoyable. Even if you have to wait for your results to be calculated, you should be able to do something else with the audio data while you wait. Sonic Visualiser is pervasively multithreaded, loves multiprocessor and multicore systems, and can make good use of fast processors with plenty of memory.
  • To handle large data sets. The work Sonic Visualiser does is intrinsically processor-hungry and (often) memory-hungry, but the aim is to allow you to work with long audio files on machines with modest CPU and memory where reasonable. (Disk space is another matter. Sonic Visualiser eats that.).

Sonic Transformer

Sonic Transformer free multi-fx by Ourafilmes

Sonic Transformer is a free multi fx VST plugin developed by Ourafilmes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Sonic Transformer is an “alien-style complex multi-effect processor”. With its original 5 “alien eyes” knobs, you can control several parameters simultaneously (or a percentage of an effect parameter). The “hybrid” knob controls the dry/wet mix.

The use of this plug-in is completely enigmatic and chaotic, but allows you to get effects from reverb to powerful filters, from chorus to delays, and more… 7 presets are available but you’ll realize that by only altering one knob the sound changes a lot. This feature allows you to radically transform the sound.

Sonic Transformer includes full automation and MIDI Learn.

See the video to see how it works.
