FREE SYNTH: ENSONIQ SD-1 Emulator (by Sojus Records) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of this FREE emulation of the Ensoniq SD-1 developed by Sojus Records, which brings back to life this iconic synthesizers!

This VST3 plugin is a faithful, hardware-level emulation of one of the most unique digital synthesizers of the early ’90s.

Originally released in 1990, the Ensoniq SD-1 comes from a lineage of evolving Transwave wavetable synthesizers, following the ESQ-1, SQ-80, and VFX series. It combines additive-style waveform layering with powerful modulation, placing it alongside classics like the PPG Wave and Waldorf Microwave in the world of hybrid digital synthesis.

This "MAME-based" VST3 plugin brings the SD-1/32 to life inside your DAW for the first time. Despite being a proof-of-concept, it is already fully functional and incredibly deep.

The demo showcases some of the presets created directly from the engine – from lush pads and evolving textures to digital timbres and analog-style patches. Each patch can layer up to 6 waveforms from the original ROM, shaped by dual multi-mode filters, complex envelopes, LFOs, and an extensive modulation matrix. The built-in effects processor adds classic reverb, chorus, flanging, and delay.

Key features of the plugin include:
• Full VST3 support (Windows & macOS, Intel + ARM)
• Complete MIDI implementation including polyphonic aftertouch
• Full VST automation (all controls)
• Import of original VFX / VFX-SD / SD-1 SysEx files
• Resizable GUI with multiple panel layouts
• Support for original disk images and cartridges
• Optional multi-output routing (main + aux)
• Built-in sequencer support (with original OS disk)
• And much more...

⚠️ Important: This plugin requires original Ensoniq SD-1 ROM files (not included for copyright reasons). Please check the documentation for setup instructions.

⚠️ Note: Due to the nature of the emulation, CPU usage can be high and only one instance can run per DAW session.

DiscoDSP Releases Retromulator Based on The Usual Suspects dsp56300 Engine

via DiscoDSP

[Note: although DiscoDSP gives credit to The Usual Suspects, it's my understanding TUS is not happy about it. From a forum:

"He basically took our source, put his own wrapper on it and is trying to sell it and use it to promote his own business. Can't prevent it, but frankly this is reprehensible IMHO.

Yes. He knows he cannot legally "sell" it due to the licensing model our code is published under. Therefore he sells "support" of "his development efforts" to include difficult things like "git clone" and other Arcane and extremely difficult stuff. sigh... I'd strongly advise anyone using it not to actually pay him for it, but that is just my opinion.]

What isn't clear is whether the UI is just the player above or includes the full editors by The Usual Suspects. I'm hearing it's just the player, which in effect might be an upsell for the full editors by The Usual Suspects.

That said:

"Retromulator brings legendary hardware cores back to life through authentic low-level emulation. The virtual analog synths are powered by a faithful recreation of the Motorola DSP 56300 processor, the Yamaha DX7 runs a full emulation of its original chip set, and the Akai S1000 sampler plays your SF2, SFZ, and Bliss sample banks with studio-quality interpolation. Each core runs its actual firmware or sample data — delivering the unmistakable character of hardware that defined electronic music from the early 80s through the 2000s.

Unlike traditional software emulations that recreate synthesizer behavior by approximation, Retromulator emulates the original integrated circuits at the hardware level. The virtual analog synths run on a cycle-accurate Motorola DSP 56300, the Yamaha DX7 runs a full emulation of its Hitachi HD6303R sub-CPU and Yamaha YM21280/YM21290 EGS/OPS chip set, and the Akai S1000 sampler runs on the SFZero v3.0.0 engine with 8-point sinc interpolation supporting SF2, SFZ, ZBP, and ZBB sample banks. Each core executes its authentic firmware or sample data exactly as intended.

Load the ROM firmware from your own hardware or sample banks from your library, place them in the designated folder, and Retromulator takes care of the rest. The result is not an approximation — it is the real hardware running inside your DAW.

Retromulator is built on Gearmulator, an open-source synthesizer emulation project by the dsp56300 team. We are grateful for their extraordinary work in bringing these classic instruments back to life."

Iridium Desktop MK2: The Next Sound Dimension

Iridium Desktop MK2 is a new generation of the highly acclaimed Iridium Desktop synthesizer introduced in 2020 by Waldorf Music, and since then used by countless artists and sound designers. After six years the time has come to advance the sonic success story even further.

Based on the legendary multi-engine design of the Quantum & Iridium product line, the MK2 innovates even further, thus fitting perfectly into Waldorf’s forward-looking synthesizer design philosophy.

The MK2 features a new and fresh design, and an improved CPU board with more RAM and flash storage allowing for more sample storage and opening a whole new world of synthesis capabilities.

Per-Note-Parameter-Locks
(ft. Aphex Twin)
Only on the MK2 you can enjoy a very special feature called Per-Note-Parameter-Locks which is the result of a collaboration with legendary Aphex Twin, a long-term Iridium Desktop user.

With this feature, each of the 128 notes can be assigned up to 16 individual parameter variations by simply holding a note and turning knobs. This system allows each note to have a different set of parameters. You can even change the synthesis mode of oscillators for each note or change effect parameters. It feels like adding a whole new dimension to your music. Per-Note-Parameter-Locks are saved with each patch and can be inspected and edited on a dedicated page.

Seeds – The Sixth Synthesis Sense
The added RAM further allows a new sixth synthesis method for each of the three oscillators. Inspired by wavetable synthesis, in which each wavetable represents a timbral journey, Waldorf has found a way to base these timbral journeys not only on static waveforms, but also to dynamically synthesize each waypoint from sub-oscillators we called “Seeds”. These can be controlled and recombined using techniques like ring modulation and frequency modulation, and enriched with noise and other non-pitched material. While we provide, similarly to wavetables, a set of predefined timbral journeys, you can also edit and create your own.

Protein’s “Flavour” Knob
The new knob called “Flavour” adds sonic liveliness using our new concept of micro-variations in timing, timbre, pitch, and a whole set of additional parameters we recently introduced with the Protein synthesizer.

More Memory, Layers & Sound
With the increased memory capacity, you can change the multi-timbral layer count from 2 to 4. In addition to layered and split modes, the new MK2 also features more advanced multi-timbral modes, such as round-robin and random-robin. These additions bring greater timbral richness and variety, letting you build deep and complex sonic landscapes. A dream come true for all sound designers, sonic explorers and cinematic artists!

Iridium & Quantum Update 4.0
A general update of the Iridium and Quantum operating system will be available soon.

Version 4.0 provides some of the new features for all existing Quantum and Iridium models like the Mutator patch randomizer introduced in the Microwave plugin, a new polyphonic arpeggiator, new microtonal features saved in patches and other features.

Connectivity
Stereo Audio Out: 2x TS jacks
Stereo Audio In: 2x TS jacks

Icarus is the most powerful synthesizer on the market. The award-winning audio engine offers a huge sonic range, true high-end sound quality, and the ability to create sounds that are impossible with other synths. The exceptionally versatile audio engine is capable of creating all important synthesizer sounds in high-end quality. Icarus is capable of over 30 (!) different synthesis methods, which can be combined:

3D Wavetables

3D Wavetable Synthesis cn create sounds impossible with other synthesizers and opens up a new level of dynamic expression. Classic wavetable synthesis only allows you to cross-fade waveforms. We have extended it with an extra 'morph dimension'. You can use 54 morph modes to further shape and modulate the sound. The morph modes are not limited to traditional waveshaping methods. We have also included a wide range of innovative and exclusive modes that are not available from other companies. This results in a wide range of unique sounds that cannot be produced by other synthesizers.

Resynthesis

Icarus comes with the most powerful and advanced re-synthesis engine on the market. Unlike competing products, it always delivers good results. With Icarus, anyone can create amazing sounds quickly and easily. Icarus' innovative resynthesis can rebuild sounds with a single mouse click! Just click this button, select a wav file, and Icarus will automatically create a patch that sounds like the original. You can further shape your sound with morphing, time-stretching, filters, effects, or any other module.

"Entanglement uses a 1D quantum wave function (Schrödinger equation) to produce evolving waveforms for use in a dual polyphonic wavetable synthesizer. You can add energy to the simulation in various different ways (wave packets/quantum particles, free draw, and waveform files) and those waveforms will evolve and transform based on the equation and your settings. You can also add environmental factors (potentials) to transform the energy/waveforms in different ways. Additionally you are able to manipulate the resulting waveform in different ways (stretching, warping, quantizing, smoothing, FM etc). You can derive your waveform from the wave function with many different equations and value options each of which offers a different sound. Each oscillator has its own independent wave function, energies, potentials and settings. Both oscillators can also be entangled adding a rich and complex modulation of the waveforms. That coupled with an internal modulation system makes this device a powerhouse for insane sound design! From basic synth sounds, to complex evolving sounds, to crazy mind blowing sounds. The evolving nature and very compelling transformations of the waveforms through the quantum wave function stands this synth apart from the many other wavetable synthesizers out there.

"Yukes 玉刻 uses an electronic organ to play 'the sound of the future.' He расскаnts how synthesizers have found new life within Chinese culture—moving from imitating the sounds of traditional instruments to creating entirely new auditory languages.

As he puts it: 'Technology shouldn’t replace tradition; it should become an extension of it.' In his eyes, every synthesized waveform is a rebirth of culture.

Today, Chinese musicians are using technology to reshape a 'sonic ethnography,' allowing tradition and the future to move forward side by side through electronic resonance. Yukes is a commercial video producer, multi-instrumentalist, and expert in electronic music equipment. Active at the intersection of traditional Chinese instruments and contemporary electronic music equipment, they have been instrumental in the development of 'Chinawave' and the growth of the electronic music production equipment industry in mainland China. With a background in commercial documentary video production, Yukes has expanded their practice into the exploration of audiovisual ethnomusicology. They regularly perform across China and are currently pursuing a master's degree in Market and Retail Science at NYU Shanghai.

"BOUNCE One-Shot Event Generator

This is a compact event generator built for percussive envelopes, bouncing modulations and rhythmic control signals.

Bounce creates trigger-driven one-shots with a set of 8 distinct waveforms selectable via the large control knob. From sharp, click-like hits to softer, rounded contours. This offers fast access to clearly different envelope characters.

Repeat function with a ”bouncing ball” effect, making the bounces naturally fade within the cycle.

The length control sets the length of the waveform while repeats add repetitions of the wave, and delay sets the time between those waves.

These features in combination makes it easy to move from single tight envelopes to rolls, flams, clustered impacts and creative rhythmic patterns.

All main parameters got CV-inputs. A dedicated inverted output adds instant polarity flip.

Background

We like techno. For us its about solid kicks with defined transients and a fundamental low end that moves air without collapsing the mix.

Bounce is built to be performative and work at the source. By shaping events, accents and repetitions already at the control stage – it lets the mix breathe and leaves space where it matters most. Perfect for basslines, drums and transients."
