Free Software Synthesizers

SynthMaster Player for iOS

SynthMaster Player for iOS is a free software synthesizer developed by KV331 Audio. Available format(s): stand alone application for iOS.

SynthMaster Player for iOS is the mobile player version of SynthMaster for iPad and iPhone devices. It is targeted towards users who prefer to use presets rather than designing their own sounds during music production.

Although it is a preset based player, users can edit the following parameters:

8 easy parameters assigned by the sound designer.

2 XY Pads assigned by the sound designer.

Effect bypass states and send amounts.

Layer bypass states and volumes.

Master volume, polyphony.

The free app comes with 100 factory presets. When users complete registration by entering their names and email addresses they receive another 100 factory presets as a bonus. After completing registration, users can upgrade to the Pro version of the app by purchasing the “Factory Presets” bank via In-App-Purchase (IAP) for $4.99. With the Pro Upgrade all of the 800 factory presets are loaded and also the following features are unlocked:

Users can save the changes they have made to the presets.

Users can purchase additional preset banks via In-App-Purchase (IAP).

Existing SynthMaster users can download their previously purchased SynthMaster preset banks inside the app, so that they don’t have to purchase them again.

Existing SynthMaster users can export their own presets (starting with SynthMaster v2.7) and import them into SynthMaster Player for iPad using iTunes.

Buil-in Keyboard

The built-in 2 octave keyboard with pitch and modulation wheels lets users play notes without having to connect an external MIDI controller to their iPad. With its Scale functionality, it shows the users the notes on the scale, and with its Chord functionality the user can play a certain chord by pressing a single note.

Midi Settings

SynthMaster Player for iPad supports CoreMIDI and also virtual MIDI. It acts as a virtual MIDI destination for other DAW apps. MIDI input device, MIDI input channel, and receive MIDI beat clock settings can be adjusted from the MIDI Settings window.

Synthetik is a free VST and AU plugin delivering fresh inspiring sounds and FX for Hip-Hop and R&B productions including synths, bells, synth bass, brass, electric pianos, pads, strings and more.

The Synthetik VST/AU Plugin is called a “semi-synth” because it does not posses all of the traditional functions of a full synthesizer. Instead, Synthetik has really high quality sounds out of the box that can be fine-tuned and tweaked further using the LFO settings, Reverb and ADSR. Synthetik has glide control and the full range of play modes such as Mono, Poly and Legato.

Synthetik is compatible with all music software supporting VST or AU format on both Windows and Mac.

Synth1 Pluto Box

Synth1 Pluto Box is a free software synthesizer preset pack for Synth1, made by Synthmorph.

Synthmorph’s first free offer is the Pluto Box soundset for the famous free virtual analog Synth1 with 127 presets and 10 Synthmorph sequences.

Based on the love of the Nord Lead 2 the author tried to mirror some advanced concepts of the hardware on the software side. This goal was accomplished in part due to the major differences. Despite the several shortcomings of Synth1 he became attached to this free synth plug-in because of its limitations, ease-of-use and flexibility. Hence, getting all the presets into shape was a pure fun.

Nearly all presets use subtle modulations from modulation wheel or aftertouch, so expressivity is always at your fingertips.

The presets coupled with the Synthmorph concept offers you 10 MIDI sequences with multiple automation lines producing sound morphs that will literally breathe a new life even into simple preset sounds.
