Zap

Zap free software-synthesizer by Sinevibes

Zap is a free software synthesizer developed by Sinevibes. Available format(s): Audio Unit for macOS.

Zap is a unique mini-synthesiser controlled by incoming audio. It starts with an envelope follower that tracks the peak energy of the sound and then applies it onto the frequency of a monophonic oscillator.With three different oscillator waveform modes and features like envelope stepping, Zap can turn any sound source into dynamic synth sweeps, sub-basses, blips, chirps or glitches.

Zap has a simple and stylish user interface built with colour-coded graphics and full Retina resolution support. It has subtle animations and a live output waveform view, making even such a simple effect very fun and engaging to work with. And yet, thanks to hardware-accelerated rendering, Zap feels fast and responsive even on older, lower-end Macs.

Specifications:

Signal envelope follower with variable lag time and curve, plus level stepping feature.

Three oscillator modes: pure sine, ring-modulated sines & phase-modulated sines.

Realtime output waveform display.

Yooz BL-303

Yooz BL-303 is a free software synthesizer developed by Yooz Music. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Yooz BL-303 is a free contribution synth with Big Love to the legendary Roland TB-303.

Version 2.0 includes more beautiful user interface, sounds better and behave more like the original TB-303. The slide is now sliding to the next note and the filter envelope isn’t retriggered. The Accent amount is growing if there are few accent notes in a row.

The sequencer part (including the slide and the accent) is handled with MIDI notes velocity:

Shorten the note length a little bit, so it ends slightly before the next note (like the TB).

Use the Velocity to control the Accent and the Glide.

Velocity 0 – 9: Slide On.

Velocity 10 – 100: Regular note.

Velocity 101 – 126: Accent On.

Velocity 127: Accent & Slide On.

YAVA

YAVA is a free software synthesizer developed by Krakli. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

YAVA is a highly configurable and flexible Mono/Poly synth. The package also includes YFG – a totally off the wall sound-fx VSTi.

Features:

Oscillator 1: (Orch. Oscillator) Gives a large stacked oscillator sound, variable between Sawtooth, Square Wave and Triangle. Width control used to detune stack and Orch selectors used to give various degrees of octave spans.

Oscillator 2: (Morph Oscillator) Provides 5 basic waveforms (including noise), these are then constantly variable using the Morph and Shape controls to mutate the waveforms into more harmonically rich structures. Osc 2 can be synced to Oscillator 1 and can be detuned in fine amounts or using the note indicator provided.

Autobend: can provide a sweep up in note or a sweep down in note at each key event or each trigger pulse from Gate 1 or Gate 2. Variable for Speed, Duration, and Amount.

LFO S&H: A combination LFO or S&H module, which uses variable waveforms as its modulation source. Both LFO and S&H clocks can be free-running or synced to the host tempo. As well as S&H the clock for the S&H module can be derived from Gate 1 or Gate 2 for more interesting rhythmic effects.

Vibrato LFO: Used as a pitch modulation source for either or both of the 2 oscillators. Contains controls for Rate, Delay, Depth and can be triggered from note on or Gates 1 or 2.

Modulation: Using a variable mix of Oscs 1 or 2 the Modulation unit provides Ring Modulation or Frequency modulation of the signal. It can be configured to enter the signal path either before or after the filter and can be volume controlled by virtue of the env button. Mixed in Post filter the Modulation unit can deliver some heavy distortion effects. Both Modulation pitch and Modulation volume are available in the Mod matrix.

Envelopes 1 & 2: Used for filter or other modulation uses. Both envelopes can be triggered from note on or Gates 1 or 2.

State Variable Filter: can be configured to run in parallel (2 x 12db/oct) mode or series (1 x 24db/oct) mode. Both filters are variable between Lo, Band or Hi pass modes.

Gate Arrays 1 & 2: Can be used to provide 8 steps of rhythmic triggering. Gates 1 & 2 are available as triggers to many other YAVA2 modules.

Sequencer grid 1 & 2: can be used as a modulation source to the Mod matrix. Able to be synced to host tempo, and used in free voltage or note steps with display of current note value.

Modulation Matrix: An 8 x 9 matrix of sources and destinations to deliver a high degree of control over the finished sound.

Glide controls: Provide not only glide between notes but also glissando (note stepped glide).

BPM Delays: Twin BPM synced delays which can be tempo-locked to varying sub-divisions and spread across the stereo field.

XSRDO Patchwork Modular System

XSRDO Patchwork Modular System is a free software synthesizer developed by XSRDO. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Unlike some VSTi synthesizers which claim to be modular but are in fact really just simple fixed synthesizers where the modulation matrix has been replaced by fancy graphic lines drawn across the screen…

XSRDO Patchwork Modular System is a true modular synthesizer. You can choose what modules you want, where to put them and how many of them you want. Each module is independent of any other and only becomes active when you start to patch them together in your own creative way.

Features:

36 Virtual racks.

More than 50 modules.

Insert any module into any rack.

Insert multiple modules.

Movable modules.

Use of 3rd party wavetables and samples.

Load & Save preset programs.

Very low CPU usage.

Xhip Synthesizer

Xhip Synthesizer is a free software synthesizer developed by aciddose. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Xhip Synthesizer allows you to produce high quality dual-oscillator polyphonic synthesizer sounds, similar to classic poly synthesizers of the late 80s. Strings, synth pads, basses, leads, organs, pianos, percussion, bells, vocals, sound effects and more are demonstrated in the factory banks also freely available for download.

Factory banks and a manual can be downloaded separately from the Xhip Synthesizer page. Please read the manual for the current version if you have not yet read it as it contains an important “getting started” chapter and lots of helpful documentation for non-obvious features.

Features:

Re-sizable GUI.

Two oscillators, filters, envelopes and LFOs.

Oscillator sync and X-mod (FM).

Both oscillator (super-saw) and voice level unison.

PCM (samples) as oscillator waveform with looping and anti-aliasing.

Ring-mod, audio-rate filter modulation and saturation.

Per-voice wave-shaping (distortion).

Sample-accurate modulation.

Ability to route MIDI inputs to parameters.

Embedded effects.

Detailed PDF format manual.

Xhip was featured in One-Synth-Challenge #85. OSC-85-Xhip

OSC-85-cyan

Xhip has an account at soundcloud with example audio clips available.
