Dolphin Bassline

Dolphin Bassline free software-synthesizer by Signaldust

Dolphin Bassline is a free software synthesizer developed by Signaldust. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Dolphin Bassline is a simple monosynth with a diode-ladder filter circuit-model and the general feature-set inspired by the famous silverbox. It’s not an entirely serious reproduction, but still attempts to match the general character to a certain degree.

DoFi

DoFi free software-synthesizer by anosci

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

DoFi is a toy for making formanty sounds.

It has two different modes, and two dials to automate the vowel produced.

It includes the same 23 waveforms that appear in F2FM and STriFE, though few of them really mesh with the formant effect.

Think of this as a variation on Delay Lama.

Distel

Distel free software-synthesizer by TOK-TOK

Distel is a free software synthesizer developed by TOK-TOK. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Distel was more or less the Test synth for Fratzoor, but in the end it didn’t sound too bad I think. There is not a lot to say about Distel. It’s based on subtractive synthesis and distorting in many different ways (1 Waveshaper for each Oscillator and another Waveshaper behind the Filters) has a bass enhancer with several controls and some other things you will find out.

There are some hidden features 😉

Use the volume controls to manage distortion a bit.

You use Distel on your own risk.

  • 2 Oscillators, 1 Waveshaper for each.
  • 3 different Filters + adjustable modulation-amount.
  • (Signal Flow : Filter 1,Filter 2, Filter 3) + another Waveshaper.
  • 6 Voices and different Voice-Modes.
  • adjustable Bass-Enhancer (fixed frequency at 80Hz).
  • LFO+Filter and Amp Envelope.
  • Windows 32-bit (works bridged as 64-bit).

dirty harry

dirty harry free software-synthesizer by de la Mancha

dirty harry is a free software synthesizer developed by de la Mancha. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

dirty harry is an unashamedly DIY lofi synth based on samples of dlM’s two home-made, lo-fi noise-makers, the Atari Punk Console and the BugBrand WOM.

dirty harry offers 20 unique waveforms in all their mono/monophonic glory. For extra grit the oscillators can be sync’d or ring modulated. Fidelity can be lowered further still with reduction in sample quality, distortion and a unique ‘bad contact’ emulation. 2 tempo-sync LFOs allow modulation of filter, pitch and contact, with one LFO modulating the depth and frequency of the other. There are envelopes for volume, pitch and filter, with different contours and pitch options. Throw in an arpeggiator, pitch drift and portamento and you can see that, whilst it may be lofi in sound, it doesn’t lack for sound design features.

Features:

  • 20 unique waveforms sampled from dlM’s home-made lofi synths, the Atari Punk Console and the BugBrand WOM.
  • 3 oscillators, syncable to osc1 and ring modulatable with each other.
  • Each osc can be routed to the filter independently.
  • 2 tempo sync LFOs with many waveforms, can modulate filter cutoff, each osc pitch and the contact depth and wet level.
  • LFO 2 can modulate the depth and speed of LFO 1.
  • 2 envelopes for volume, filter or pitch, with various contours and options to modulate up/down.
  • Tempo sync arpeggiator.
  • Dodgy contact emulation.
  • Pitch instability.
  • Low quality, dirty, lo-fi options.
  • 89 presets covering Lead, Bass, Arp, Drone, Fx and Basic styles.

Dexed

Dexed free software-synthesizer by Digital Suburban

Dexed is a free software synthesizer developed by Digital Suburban. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Dexed is a multi platform, multi format plugin synth that is closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7. Under the hood it uses music-synthesizer-for-android for the synth engine.

The goal of this project is to be a tool/companion for the original DX7. Sound engine with ‘float’ value parameters, different waveform à la TX81z would be great but anything that goes beyond the DX7 should and will be a fork of this project. This is to keep the compatibility with the original machine.

Dexed is licensed on the GPL v3.

Features:

  • Multi platform (OS X, Windows or Linux) and multi format (VST, AU, LV2).
  • The sound engine music-synthesizer-for-android is closely modeled on the original DX7 characteristics.
  • 144 DAW automatable DX7 parameters available from one single panel.
  • Fully supports DX7 input and output Sysex messages; including controller change. This means that you can use this with a native DX7/TX7 as a patch editor and SysEx manager.
  • Each operator have a realtime VU meter to know which one is active.
  • Can load/save any DX7/TX7 SysEx programs. It is also possible to save a single program into a different SysEx file.

Version 0.9.4:

  • Standalone application version of Dexed.
  • Midi learn support for MIDI CC messages.
  • More accurate detune for operators.
  • More accurate EG envelopes.
  • Pitchbend now listen to any channels.
  • Fixed ‘clicking’ in mono mode.
  • Fixed implementation for MIDI CC 0x78 and 0x7B (All Sound Off / All Notes Off).
  • Windows/macOS installers.

Version 0.9.3:

  • Preliminary live operator level update.
  • Support for incoming parameter change messages.
  • More permissive on cartridge sysex type; the validation is now done on size (4104/4096 bytes).
  • Midi ‘All Note Off; 0x7B’ support.
  • Breakpoint values are now shown as notes. thanks @tico-tico.
  • Fixed op feedback calibrated for Mark I engine.
  • Fixed for breakpoint levels. thanks @Sentinel77.
  • Fixed LFO delay issue issues upon large values.
  • Fixed for receiving sysex cartridge. thanks @Sentinel77.
  • Fixed operator switch changes are now sent via sysex.

Version 0.9.2:

  • Mark I engine is now the default engine.
  • Added operator mute switch.
  • Added Tune (MASTER TUNE ADJ) knob.
  • Correct feedback implementation for Algo 4 and 6.
  • Single click program select.
  • Fix SysEx issue with wrong machine ID.
  • Fix for parameter hosts values.

Version 0.9.1:

  • Mark I engine now uses 10-bit sine/exp tables. Still a work in progress but we are getting there.
  • More accurate FM feedback on the Mark I and OPL Series engine.
  • Wheel, Foot, Breath, Aftertouch modulation support.
  • Fixed the display of some more ‘complex’ algorithms.
  • Drop of .syx files in the cartridge manager.
  • Dexed data directory can now optionally reside in the same location where the binary is installed.
  • ‘Send current program to DX7’ in Cartridge Manager works as designed.
  • Support for SysEx streams (multiple SysEx messages in one .syx file).
