Lots of knobs and sliders on the new soft synth from kiloHearts
Looking for a new cool soft synth then check this one out from kiloHearts:
kHs ONE is the first virtual synth to roll out from the flaming hot digital foundry kiloHearts. Look at all those knobs and sliders! What are you waiting for? They aren’t going to tweak themselves. Unless you automate them. Which you can do. All of them.
At kiloHearts we believe that the system requirements for a virtual instrument shouldn’t include a PhD in Synthesis. Getting to the sound you want should just be a matter of thinking what you want to do, and do it. Therefore kHs ONE is designed to put all its features at your fingertips. Download the demo and try it out for yourself!
We have put a lot of time and effort into making oscillators and filters of the highest quality which gives kHs ONE a pleasantly warm and analog sound, with filters that rapidly follow your every modulation. Working with professional musicians and producers throughout the development process, we have made sure that the sounds meets their high standards.
kHs ONE is available as VST and AudioUnit plugins which work in all popular digital audio workstations like Cubase, Sonar, Logic Pro, Gargeband, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reaper, Studio One and many others. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are available on MacOS X and Windows operating systems.
New Beta version of the Sonigen Modular soft synth is released
Sonigen Modular is modular software synthesizer which gives you the freedom and flexibility of classic modular synthesis with high quality sound and efficient cpu usage.
Features
- Fully modular with as many modules and patch cables as you want.
- A fast and intuitive user interface. Layout is mostly automatic, cables indicate signal flow, and our (unique as far as I know) dynamic input handling reduces the need for extra mixer modules, and also reduces screen wastage from unused input terminals / knobs.
- Modular voice and modular output effect processing both cleanly integrated in one window.
- Everything is processed at full sample rate, there is no lower “control” rate. This means pretty much anything can be plugged into anything else. It also means higher quality modulation control and processing.
- Just in time (JIT) assembly. The audio engine is written entirely in assembler, it is dynamically assembled and optimised in real time with no interruption in the audio processing. This allows a whole class of optimizations that cant be done with pre-compiled binaries.

The Zebralette synth becomes freeware
German software developers u-he have decided to make Zebralette, a stripped-down version of their popular Zebra 2 synth freeware. Here’s what they have to say:
Zebralette has two LFOs (one per voice, one global), a multi-stage envelope and three on-board effects (chorus, EQ, delay). Not forgetting Zebra2’s famous dual spectral effects, which include several squelchy filter algorithms.
Megasaw? Zebralette also goes to eleven.
So: Because the Zebra2 oscillators are so powerful, Zebralette is actually a great little synth in its own right, and it has the same pristine audio quality as the mighty Zebra2… try out the new presets and see for yourself!”
New patch for the ImpOSCar synth – Big Bang Theory
ImpOSCar is a new softsynth from Gforce for which i had the privilege to contribute around 50 patches to its preset library.
This is a demosong where all the sounds were made with ImpOSCar including the drums.

Sonigen – virtual modular synth
Sonigen Modular is a modular software synthesizer which offers you the freedom and flexibility of classic modular synthesis with high quality sound and efficient cpu usage. Sonigen is fully modular, you can add as many modules and patch cables as you want.
A fast and intuitive user interface. Layout is mostly automatic, cables indicate signal flow, and our (unique as far as I know) dynamic input handling reduces the need for extra mixer modules, and also reduces screen wastage from unused input terminals / knobs.
Modular voice and modular output effect processing both cleanly integrated in one window. Everything is processed at full sample rate so there is no need to differentiate between audio signals and control signals. This makes it easier to use and also more flexible.
System Requirements:
Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7
X86 CPU with SSE1 (Pentium 3 and AthlonXP upwards).

Twinthesis – the Twitter based synth
For more information: http://tinyurl.com/twinthesis
The idea behind twinthesis was to explore the ‘sound’ of twitter, to harness the potential of the human randomness being generated on the service. Twitter has over hundreds of millions of users world wide, a figure which is expanding at a rate of about 300,000 users a day. These users are submitting on average around 90 Million tweets per day. There is a huge amount of data there, ready to be sonified, and turned into audio.
Twinthesis is a MaxMSP based patch, that extracts the most recent public tweet, and deconstructs that information in order to generate sound. Several pieces of data can be taken directly from the tweet, including the length of the tweet, and the actual letters within the tweet itself.

Info on Spectralis:
Spectralis 2 is the even more powerful successor of Radikals sophisticated Hybrid Synthesizer. With up to 2 GB sample memory and tons of new features Radikal raises the bar again for our competition. Never stop the sequencer engine again with our fully redesigned sequencer engine that allows for on the fly realtime sequencing, recording of MIDI controllers and overdubbing. Quick Sound Selection for every part – your most favorite sounds are just one fingertip away. Transpose your patterns and step sequences with the attached keyboard and control the Spectralis 2 parameters via MIDI from your computer. There is only one thing, we left untouched in our new design – the sound engine. Still the warmest and richest sound out there with the power of a modular synthesizer in a box.
