Note this is a SynthEdit VST. SynthEdit is a synth engine that allows you to make your own custom synths. You build your synth with the basic building blocks in the program and then create your own custom UI. Think of this as DIY for soft synths. When you see an "emulation" like this based on SynthEdit, realize the sound engine is based on SynthEdit. The UI is just a skin. This is not custom code built from the ground up to emulate the detailed characteristics of the classic synth featured. Companies that do produce custom code emulations include GForce, Way Out Ware, and Arturia. That said, these VSTs are synths, can be edited, and many are free. Both KVR and MyVST.com are great resources to explore the world of soft synths.
If anyone knows more about SynthEdit and it's capabilities, feel free to comment.
via kvr on Reality:
"Reality is an emulation of the Realistic MG-1, a synth that was sold by Radio-shack but was made by the Moog company. Special attention was given to the oscillators, analog instability and overall oddness of the original.
Features:
* 2 analog style oscillators (tone sources) with saw/square waveform, sync and ring modulation (bell).
* Noise generator.
* Tempo sync LFO (modulation) with triangle, square and random waveforms.
* ASR envelope (contour).
* VCA with multiple mode, envelope, key (gate) and continuous.
* 24db filter modulated by the LFO and Envelope.
* Monophonic or polyphonic modes with separate tuning."

ReplyDeleteI think someone better had, you really don't understand how powerful Synthedit is!
"SynthEdit is a synth engine that allows you to make your own custom synths."
Don't be fooled by the name, Synthedit is a full on visual VST development program. It allows you to create much more than just synths. You can build effects, sequencers, visual input tools, displays, synths drum machines, samplers, hell, pretty much whatever you want.
It's like a modular with infinite modules and the ability to build your own modules and components as well (if you're clever enough!).
"You build your synth with the basic building blocks in the program and then create your own custom UI."
Almost. Except you are not limited to just using the basic modules. There are several sites out there where you can get third party modules. There are more than four hundred extra modules available out there. Ranging from simple maths modules to oscillators, filters, GUI display systems and other high level stuff.
If that's not enough Synthedit has a full 3rd party development SDK available so you can program your own modules.
"Think of this as DIY for soft synths."
It can be at a very basic level but it's also much, much more.
"When you see an "emulation" like this based on SynthEdit, realize the sound engine is based on SynthEdit. The UI is just a skin. This is not custom code built from the ground up to emulate the detailed characteristics of the classic synth featured."
This is what drove me to post! In one sentence you write off every Synthedit product and belittle all the brilliant Synthedit developers out there who create amazing plug ins. There are many, many excellent VSTs out there made with Synthedit. It's almost as powerful as the full VST SDK made by Steinberg yet much easier to use because it's a visual environment.
The amazing thing is you can try all this for free, the Synthedit demo only has a couple of small limitations (limited inputs/outputs and only sixteen presets for your exported VSTs). Although if you use it I really reccomend buying it, it's not expensive!
Is the engine re-entrant yet?
ReplyDeletedahump, try not to read into things so much. I didn't imply any of what you seem to think I did. I kept it quite neutral actually.
