TrapezoidSynth

TrapezoidSynth is a free software synthesizer developed by Uhhyou. Available format(s): VST3 for Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

Note: Currently Linux build doesn’t display GUI due to some problem related to VSTGUI. For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.

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.

TrapezoidSynth is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with two trapezoid oscillator which is piecewise function of PTR ramp function. In other words, it’s just a fancy version of tri-pulse oscillator:

  • Equipped with 2 trapezoid oscillator.
  • Pitch drift with white noise for oscillator 1.
  • Slope and pulse width controls for trapezoid shape.
  • Phase modulation to oscillator 1. Feedback knob is just another phase modulation.
  • Up to 8 order low-pass filter with saturation.
  • Can be modulate filter cutoff with Oscillator 1 output.
  • 2 ADSR envelopes for output gain and filter. Filter envelope can be used to modulate oscillator pitch in octave.
  • 2 AD envelopes for various modulation.
  • Retrigger control for all envelopes.
  • 1 LFO for oscillator 1 and filter cutoff.
  • 3 types of pitch slide. Always, only when sustain, reset to 0 Hz when first note on or last note off.
  • Pitch slide time offset between oscillator 1 and 2.

LV2 version is used in demo video. Only difference between VST3 version and LV2 version is small details in GUI.
