yedey has released
TranceDrive,
a free synthesizer instrument for Windows.
TranceDrive is a subtractive synthesizer, that was
build for Trance music. That means, it has builtin
supersaw oscillators for realy fat synths and pads,
harsh filters, a trancegate and a hugh reverb
effect.
Features:
3 main oscillators
each main oscillator supports 6 waveforms:
sine, saw, triangle, pulse, saw7, cry
the waveform “saw7″ is a supersaw with 7
detunable sub oscillators
the waveform “cry” is an experimental
waveform, it is built up with several hardsynced
saws
main oscillator 2 has an additional unisono
mode, when it is enabled, the whole oscillator
triples its voice and the voices can be detuned
from each other
the oscillators can be chained (osc1 to osc2
and osc2 to osc3) using FM, PM and sync, these 3
options can also be used at the same time
seperate noise oscillator
3 LFOs, each supports 5 waveforms: sine,
saw, triangle, pulse, sample and hold
the LFOs can be synchronized to the host
tempo or run free at a specific frequency
each LFO can control multiple parameters of
each OSC, you can even assign several LFOs to
the same parameter
LFO1 can control the filter cutoff
2 Envelope generators (Mod & Amp) with
variable shapes
the modulation envelope can control multiple
parameters of each OSC, and it can also be mixed
with the LFOs. Additionally it can control the
filter cutoff
3 types of filters: lowpass, highpass and
bandpass
each filter type can be set to 6dB, 12dB,
18dB and 24dB steepness
9 effects, and they can be used at the same
time: gater, chorus, phaser, flanger,
distortion, delay, reverb, equalizer,
stereo-effects
each of the unused parts of the synth is
shown with less contrast, so you can focus on
the active parts
the output of the synth can be clipped to
avoid overdriving noise. The clipping is done
with a soft limiter, that can be used to
compress the whole synth sound (just enable clip
and turn up the main volume)
TranceDrive is available to download as a freeware
instrument for Windows PC (VST/Standalone).
