U.F.O. Zone Edition

U.F.O. Zone Edition free software-synthesizer by VST Zone

U.F.O. Zone Edition is a free software synthesizer developed by VST Zone. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

U.F.O. Zone Edition is upgraded version of original U.F.O. plugin with some updates, improvements and fixes. It is a subtractive synthesizer with three oscillators. Two of them have mutual filter, in which the frequency of oscillators is modulated by two LFOs. Third oscillator has independent filter, in which the frequency is modulated by three LFOs, two of which are graphical. Final sound is adjusted by kit of effects (delay, chorus, reverb), which is applied for each group of oscillators apart. Our intention was to reduce CPU usage and to make clean and simple user interface. U.F.O. ZE includes many presets, which can be extended by preset randomization function. Additional presets can be expected in future updates.

Change log for version 1.3.1:

  • Fixed audio buffer overflow bug that occur during randomization.
  • Fixed bug that can cause plugin to hang your DAW.
  • U.F.O ZE now includes 160 presets.

Change log for version 1.2:

  • NEW 12 LFOs: based on Ikeda map, Lorenz attractor, Rössler attractor.
  • NEW 3 random LFOs: random Sine, Saw and Square.
  • NEW 2 noise generators in all OSC including LFOs.
  • NEW presets (total 98).
  • NEW 27 filters (total 32).
  • Optimized LFOs (include graphic/step LFO).
  • Optimized chorus effects (50% improved performance when both chorus are active).
  • Optimized many small modules.
  • Optimized and adjusted UI (less memory usage).
  • Optimized, adjusted and decreased frame rate of all scopes, lower overall CPU usage about 20-30%.
  • For .EXE version only – Added virtual piano keyboard.

Notice: Presets from previous version are not fully compatible with new version because of new features incorporated in this update. If you already created your own preset with previous version you can send it to us and we will convert it for you. The same difference is between new version 1.2 and its special extension.

Tyrell Nexus 6

Tyrell Nexus 6 free software-synthesizer by u-he

Tyrell Nexus 6 is a free software synthesizer developed by u-he. Available format(s): VST, VST3, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

The Tyrell Nexus 6 plug-in was programmed by Urs Heckmann (mastermind of u-he) for Amazona.de. This is a virtual analog software synthesizer: the sound engine is circuit-modeled and is similar to the u-he “ACE“. The features are those that we may expect from a vintage synthesizer like the Juno series from Roland.

Features:

  • 2 Oscillators.
  • 1 Sub-Oscillator.
  • 1 Noise Generator.
  • 1 Ring modulator.
  • 1 Signal feedback.
  • 2 LFOs.

Twin Bass

Twin Bass free software-synthesizer by The Interruptor

Twin Bass is a free software synthesizer developed by The Interruptor. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Twin Bass is a Bass Synthesizer with a double filter architecture allowing to create rich mid-range bass textures together with a solid sub bass foundation. Also vocal-like timbres can be easily created. Features an extensive modulation matrix and individual outs for the filters.

  • 2 Oscillators: Sine, Saw, Ramp, Triangle, Pulse, Noise.
  • 2 Filters operating in parallel (connection in series is also possible).
    • Filter 1: 2 x Low pass, 2 x High pass, Bandpass.
    • Filter 2: stereo filter with separate cut-off for left and right side (2 x Low pass, 2 x High pass, Bandpass).
  • Feedback loop for the entire filter section.
  • Distortion effect with two modes
    • hard: metallic distortion sound.
    • soft: tube-like warm distortion.
  • The distortion effect can be applied pre- or post-filter. Also it is possible to distort only the signal in filter 2, thus preserving a clean signal from filter 1. This setup is predestined to generate a sub bass with filter 1 whereas filter 2 can provide interesting midrange textures in stereo.
  • Modulation
    • 3 x LFO, synchronized to host application.
    • 3 x ADSR Envelope.
    • Matrix: 5 modulation slots connect 12 modulation sources to 26 modulation destinations. Pitch bend, amplifier envelope and filter envelope are pre-wired.
  • Process external signals: In Oscillator 2 an external signal can be selected as the waveform.
  • MIDI learn: Right-click any control to assign a MIDI control and automate the parameter from you DAW.
  • Monophonic modes with glide.
  • Polyphonic modes with max. 8 simultaneous notes.
  • Individual Outs are available for the two Filters. This feature helps to integrate the bass sound in your mix. For example apply additional effects like reverb to the mid range signal from filter 2 while keeping the sub bass form filter 1 clean.
  • Structure display: This panel shows the signal flow of the synth as it results from your settings of the filter and FX routings.
  • Pop-up hints: While the mouse hovers over a control a hint appears explaining the function of the control.

Tunefish 4

Tunefish 4 free software-synthesizer by Brain Control

Tunefish 4 is a free software synthesizer developed by Brain Control. Available format(s): VST, VST3, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Tunefish 4 was developed as a smaller replacement of Tunefish 3 with roughly the same power, it is however not compatible and uses different synthesis algorithms. It was developed for the 64k intro “Turtles all the way down” by demoscene group Brain Control and is available as VST/AU.

Features:

  • Improved UI compared to TF3 which will visualize all modulations.
  • Uses an additive synthesis based wavetable generator.
  • The Noise generator can produce any frequency of noise with any bandwidth.
  • Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and an improved Notch filter are available.
  • 2 ADSRs and 2 LFOs that can be linked to pretty much any important knob using a modulation matrix.
  • Supported effects are Flanger, Chorus, Distortion, Delay, Reverb, EQ and Formant.
  • The effects stack allows for any permutation of up to 10 effects.
