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.

Diode-108 Drum Machine Free

Diode-108 Drum Machine Free free drum-machine | sequencer by Vibrant Digital Engineering

Diode-108 Drum Machine Free is a free drum machine and sequencer plugin developed by Vibrant Digital Engineering. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

Diode-108 is the drum machine you’ve been waiting for. It’s packed with a variety of built-in vintage, classic, and acoustic kits, but you can easily mix and match the samples provided to make your own custom kits. Or import wav files for even more variety. Once you’ve built your groove, DIODE-108’s drag-and-drop beat effects make it fun and easy to create beats you’ve never heard before.

This free version is fully usable, with no ads and no timeouts, but it lacks save and export options compared to the full version.

Features:

  • Drag and drop effects let you put effects on individual beats.
  • Drum kits licensed from respected partners. Dubsounds, Samples From Mars, Orange Tree Samples, and 99Sounds.
  • 16 drum voices with unlimited patterns that you can arrange into your own songs.
  • Each pattern can have its own swing and tempo multiplier.
  • Every voice has PER BEAT control of pan, volume, tone, pitch, decay, compression, and distortion, delay, and reverb.
  • Turn NOTE MODE on for any voice and control the musical note (up or down an octave from the original pitch). Great for basslines or pitched percussion.
  • Mix and Match kits (easily substitute any sample in any kit). Want an 808 kick in a 909 kit? No problem.
  • See the Diode-108 in action in this {See video at top of page}.
  • MIDI sync.
  • MIDI Note In.

Sequencer
Build your beat on a 16×16 pattern grid. 16 voices is almost twice the number of voices of some of our competitors, and it means that you can have an 808 kit with all the instruments you’re looking for (not just some of them). Set tempo and swing. Several time signatures are supported (and each pattern can have its own).

Pads
Tap your beat on our 4 by 4 array of drum pads. Record into the active pattern, or just play along.

Drum Machine
Unprecedented control over your drum kit. Dial in the settings you want, mix and match samples from different kits, and save out your modified custom kits for use in any song. How much control do you have? An amazing 7 dials for each of the 16 drum voices.

FX
Diode-108’s crown jewel is its drag-and-drop beat FX. Want a reverse cowbell? Want a bitcrushed tom? Want a cymbal that performs a pitch dive across several beats? Just drag and drop the effect tokens onto beats, and drag them left and right to cover any beats you like. Turn a long-lasting cymbal into a rhythmic backbone. You have to hear it to believe it. Head over to our SoundCloud playlist for sample songs.

Song
Build up a collection of named patterns from scratch, or import selected patterns from existing songs. Then drag and drop the patterns to build up a song. Each pattern can have its own swing setting and tempo multiplier if you like.
