Hello guys,

I think it has been missed here, so I'm putting the link :

http://roazhondsp.storm-mastering.com/

It's a free synth developed by my mate from Cubic Spline, 100% home made code !

Features

3 stereo oscillators with retrig, phase, wave stretch, stereo dephasing controls
Flexible FM & ring modulation
Filter (LP, BP, HP, Peak, Notch) with dedicated ENV, key follow
2 LFOs with large frequency range (up to 2kHz), retrig, bpm sync, phase, clipping, independant destination amount controls, self modulation
2 mod ENVs with ADSR, independant destination amount controls, self modulation
2 extra modulator sources (wheel, pitchbend, velocity, ENVs and LFOs)
84 destinations for modulators
Panic, main volume, polyphony, note mode, portamento, pitchbend controls
Internal oversampling x2, 100% home-made dsp code
VST3 and VST2.4 (32 and 64 bits versions)

On the unusual features, I'll point a few things :

- Stretch on oscillators is a kind of osc Sync, but in one osc. You control the master pitch with the oscillator pitch, and the slave pitch with the stretch pot.
- FM is not a classic FM. Expl with Osc @ 200Hz. With a classic FM, if you modulate to 200 Hz, it will pitch between 0Hz and 400Hz. Here it will pitch between 100 Hz and 400 Hz (+/- 1 octave). So FM is not linear in it's modulation, but exponential.
- The FM can sound a little bit disturbing at first, but combine it with the stretch on oscillators and the magic begins !
- Pan pot is pre FM, so if you pan osc1, it's FM amount to osc2 is different on L and R.
- LFO clippping : it act as a hard clipper on the LFO waveform, and the pot controls the treeshold. The low part clips the negative part of the LFO waveform, the high part the positive part. It is asymetrical clipping. And Clipping is added post LFO generation, so If you choose the LFO as a source in matrix, you can use it unclipped, or clip it again differently.
- LFO range goes to 2 kHz
- Filter Keyfollow has a reference note : suppose you sound design something, you like it and want some keyfollow on it ? Just look at what key you were playing, put it as a reference, put keyfollow to 100%, and now if you play your reference note, everything stays as it was, and filter is moving for others notes
- Recursive modulations allowed

It is still in beta, but a lot of bugs have been corrected with the last two updates. For the moment, there is no intern preset management system, but it will be done for the final release (and perhaps before).

nice one, na i hadnt missed it, i posted it up about 1hlfmonths ago in the soft section, for me at the time it didnt work, crashed ableton ... now its fine ! so cheers for reposting as i really wanted to test it...

very clean sounding! i like alot

also the fact the LFO can be assigned anywhere has made my day . Surge is great for that also but isnt half claustrophobic compared to the simple nature of this one....

great stuff!
