Tunefish 3

Tunefish 3 free software-synthesizer by Brain Control

Tunefish 3 is a free software synthesizer developed by Brain Control. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Tunefish 3 is a tiny virtual analogue synth that was originally developed for the demo scene or, to be more precise, for 64k intros of the demo group Brain Control. The synth itself is developed to fit into 10kb of compressed machine code, but they have decided to release the larger VSTi version of it for free to the public. The synth is an ongoing project under active development and feedback is very welcome.

Features:

  • Implemented as a VST instrument.
  • It uses a spline based oscillator that can by configured very dynamically. Additionally to that, it contains an additive synth.
  • Additionally to normal sine, sawtooth, triangle and pulse waveforms, it can do anything that is possible with 6 points and step/linear/spline interpolation.
  • The Noise generator can produce any frequency of noise with any bandwidth.
  • Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch filters are available.
  • 4 ADSRs and 4 LFOs that can be linked to pretty much any important knob using a modulation matrix.
  • Supported effects are Flanger, Chorus, Distortion, Delay, Reverb, EQ and Formant.
  • The effects stack allows for any permutation of up to 10 effects.

TS-Substance

TS-Substance free software-synthesizer by Tactile Sounds

TS-Substance is a free software synthesizer developed by Tactile Sounds. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Substance is a virtual analog software synthesizer emphasizing simplicity, flexibility, and sound quality.

The key factors in the design of Substance were that it would sound great, without effects, and that it would fit on one page. Substance has two of everything: two oscillator sections, two LFOs, two envelopes, two filters.

The oscillator sections were inspired by the architecture of classic analog polysynths, which used multiple oscillators to achieve polyphony, but allowed the oscillators to be combined for a monophonic Unison mode. The oscillators would generally be slightly out of tune with one another, resulting in a rich, chorused sound. Each of Substance’s oscillators likewise comprises seven unison voices, with the amount of detuning, and the stereo breadth being addressed by a single parameter, Spread.

The LFOs can be used to modulate almost every parameter of the synth. They can be used to trigger the envelopes, to modulate the frequency and pulse-width of the oscillators, the cutoff frequency of the filters, and the volume of the amplifier. LFO-1 can be switched between free-running, tempo-synced, and key-synced modes.

A manual is included in the download link, detailing the other features. All parameters can be automated. Remote control is available via host mapping or MIDI learn.

TranceDrive

TranceDrive free software-synthesizer by Maik Menz

TranceDrive is a free software synthesizer developed by Maik Menz. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

TranceDrive is a subtractive synthesizer that was build for Trance music – it has built-in supersaw oscillators for fat synths and pads, harsh filters, a trancegate and a huge reverb effect.

Features:

  • 3 main oscillators:
    • Each main oscillator supports 6 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, saw7 and cry.
    • The waveform “saw7” is a supersaw with 7 detunable sub-oscillators.
    • The waveform “cry” is an experimental waveform, it is built up with several hard-synced saws.
    • Main oscillator 2 has an additional unisono mode, when it is enabled, the whole oscillator triples its voice and the voices can be detuned from each other.
    • The oscillators can be chained (osc1 to osc2 and osc2 to osc3) using FM, PM and sync, these 3 options can also be used at the same time.
  • Separate noise oscillator.
  • 3 LFOs:
    • Each supports 5 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, sample and hold
    • The LFOs can be synchronized to the host tempo or run free at a specific frequency.
    • Each LFO can control multiple parameters of each OSC, you can even assign several LFOs to the same parameter.
    • LFO1 can control the filter cutoff.
  • 2 Envelope generators (Mod & Amp) with variable shapes. The modulation envelope can control multiple parameters of each OSC, and it can also be mixed with the LFOs. Additionally it can control the filter cutoff.
  • 3 types of filters: lowpass, highpass and bandpass. Each filter type can be set to 6dB, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB steepness.
  • 9 effects, and they can be used at the same time: gater, chorus, phaser, flanger, distortion, delay, reverb, equalizer, stereo-effects.
  • Each of the unused parts of the synth is shown with less contrast, so you can focus on the active parts.
  • The output of the synth can be clipped to avoid overdriving noise. The clipping is done with a soft limiter, that can be used to compress the whole synth sound (just enable clip and turn up the main volume).
