The blooo

The blooo is a free software synthesizer developed by Full Bucket Music. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows, macOS.

The blooo is a polyphonic software synthesizer for Microsoft Windows (VST) and Apple macOS (VST/AU) based on the classic subtractive synthesis architecture.

Main features are:

Up to 64 voices polyphony including portamento.

Two band-limited oscillators including Ring modulation and Soft/Hard sync.

Four oscillator waveforms (sawtooth, pulse, sawpulse, sine) with shape control.

Additional white noise generator.

Two multi-mode four-pole zero-delay feedback filters (lowpass, highpass, bandpass, allpass, phaser) with resonance and panorama control.

Three envelopes (ADSR) with exponential slopes.

Three low frequency oscillators (LFOs) with tempo synchronization.

It is written in native C++ code for high performance even on “lighter” systems.

MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC.

Plug-in supports Windows and macOS (32-bit and 64-bit).

The Shepherd

The Shepherd is a free software synthesizer developed by Simple-Media. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Kill Bill has a tune in its soundtrack by Ennio Morricone featuring a haunting and evocative whistling. This ‘mini-synth’ is designed solely to re-create that sound – just add reverb. This shepherd likes to whistle while he works.

The Hands Of Darkness

The Hands Of Darkness is a free software synthesizer developed by NOVUZEIT. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

The Hands Of Darkness has one purpose – to create dark, unsettling organic/metallic ambient textures.

The Hands Of Darkness is a synthesizer consisting of three layered oscillators using abstract mathematics to form their waveforms (each layer can be turned off to save CPU). These layers of waveforms emit idiosyncratic tones which are sequentially molested into menacing sounds to ultimately combine into one final synergy of “delightful corruption”. It allows you to create “subtle warbly puddles of mercury, harsh abrasive fields of rust, or even robotic cascades of binary dementia; ghostly drones, or morphing dissonant cavalcades”.

Each of the three sound generator layers includes an Oscillator with LFO pitch, LFO phase shift, ADSR, artifacting pitch shift with LFO, granulizer with LFO, bitcrusher with LFO, delay with timing offsets and modulation plus LFO, auto-panner, analog filter, and individual volume control. A global reverb is also included.

Tetra

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

Tetra generates a band-limited quadrature signal, i.e. a stereo signal whose harmonics differ pairwise by 90 degrees. By morphing between two definable timbres, Tetra can create a wide range of unique sounds.

Features:

Stereo output of band-limited quadrature signals with up to 1000 harmonics.

Morphing between two timbres, controlled by an envelope.

Copy & Paste buttons for quick storing and restoring of all control settings.

Control changes may affect the sound either immediately or when the next note is played.

Text field input for all controls.

Freely selectable polyphony with up to 16 voices. Note sliding. Adjustable pitch bend range.

Envelope and key tracking controlled volume.

Freely adjustable Attack, Decay, and Release slopes.

MIDI control of all parameters (NRPN).

100 presets.

Tenacity

Tenacity is a free software synthesizer developed by Opulent Audio. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Tenacity is a “2 Osc Monster synth”.

Features:

Two sample-based oscillators with 35 available waveforms. Each oscillator has its own tempo-synced rhythmic gate, waveshaping, bitrate (4, 8, 16, or 24 bit) and tuning (octave, semitone, and fine). The oscillators hard-sync to each other to form a feedback loop. Output options: dry signal out, filter 1 or 2 (or both), or delay effect.

Two parallel multi-state SV filters, providing simultaneous lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch filters on a mixer with individual volume and pan for each filter state. Output options: dry signal out or delay effect.

Ring modulation of the two oscillators with 25 modulation types and mix amount. Output options: dry signal out, filter 1 or 2 (or both), or delay effect.

Stereo delay with normal or cross mode available. Tempo synced with dozens of sync options. Feedback and mix amounts.

Two phrase arpeggiators: oscillators can accept MIDI input 3 ways – either as standard note input or from one of the two tempo-synced phrase arpeggiators. Each oscillator can accept input from a different arpeggiator for the ‘dueling arp’ effect.

Three tempo synced LFOs with 20 waveforms. Each has optional sample and hold with separate sync rate.

Two (up to) 8 stage envelopes with many options for triggering, looping, and envelope length. Dozens of tempo sync options available. Each has optional sample and hold with separate sync rate.

Eight slot modulation matrix with 11 sources (incl osc gates) and 39 targets, all user defined.

Monophonic synth with retrigger option and portamento.

Most parameters controllable via MIDI.

32 presets.
