A software synthesizer, also known as a softsynth, is computer software which creates digital audio. Computer software that generates music is not a recent arrival. However, with processors that offer multiple cores and faster clock speeds, software synthesizers can complete tasks that previously needed dedicated hardware. The advantage, of course, of software synthesizers is that they are less expensive than dedicated hardware, and simpler to integrate with other types of music software. Synthesizers are often controlled with a piano-style keyboard. Several other forms of controller have been developed to mimic guitars, organs, stringed and wind instruments. A real analog synthesizer has a lot of knobs and switches which give immediate access to all important parameters of the generated sound. Linux has a good range of open source software to be a serious contender in music production without having to venture into the commercial software world. Some of the software featured in this article provide operation similar to analog synths from the 1970s, such as the Moog Minimoog and Roland Juno-60. To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 23 capable software synthesizers. Hopefully, there will be something of interest here for anyone who wants to create a known or unknown, common or unusual sound experience without the outlay of dedicated hardware. This chart offers our opinion of the featured software. Only free and open source software is included. Let’s explore the 23 software synthesizers at hand. For each title we have compiled its own portal page, a full description with an in-depth analysis of its features, screenshots, together with links to relevant resources. **Synthesizers** --- **Surge XT**| Hybrid polyphonic synth supporting MPE; run as an LV2 plugin, or VST **ZynAddSubFX**| Realtime software synthesizer with many features **Fluidsynth**| Synthesizer based on the soundfont2 specifications **Bespoke**| Modular synthesizer designed for experimentation and sound creation **Geonkick**| Synthesizer that can synthesize elements of percussion **VCV Rack**| Eurorack modular synthesizer simulator **Yoshimi**| MIDI software synthesizer; fork of ZynAddSubFX **Dexed**| Multi platform, multi format plugin synth **Cardinal**| Virtual modular synthesizer plugin **amSynth**| Two oscillator software synthesizer; subtractive synth topology **DIN Is Noise**| Sound synthesizer and musical instrument **Qsynth**| Qt GUI interface for FluidSynth **AlsaModularSynth**| Realtime modular synthesizer for ALSA **Odin2**| VST3, CLAP, AU and LV2 synthesizer plugin **Bristol**| Vintage synthesizer emulator **synthv1**| Old-school polyphonic synthesizer **padthv1**| Old-school polyphonic additive synthesizer **Borg ER-3**| Portable audio synthesizer / tone generator inspired by the Korg ER-1 **Actuate**| Subtractive and additive synthesizer, sampler, and granulizer **Qwertone**| Simple music synthesizer app (like a toy-piano) **Six Sines**| Compact software synthesizer built around audio-rate inter-modulation **Wavetable**| Polyphonic wavetable synthesizer with modulation and built-in effects **Firefly Synth 2**| Flexible software synthesizer with modulation and audio routing This article has been updated to reflect the changes outlined in our **recent announcement**. Explore our carefully curated directory of **recommended free and open source software** , covering every major software category. The directory forms part of our extensive collection of **articles for Linux enthusiasts**. It includes hundreds of detailed reviews, together with free and open source alternatives to proprietary software from companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, IBM, Cisco, Oracle, and Autodesk. LinuxLinks also covers interesting projects worth exploring, Linux-compatible hardware, free programming books and tutorials, and much more.

DADA Brainfkk Perc - Unconventional Percussion Synthesizer : VST3 or Standalone Softsynth for Windows

From @synthandsoftware - Modern features, while maintaining compatibility with the original – that is, both their previous softsynth and the original Memorymoog Chery Audio keeps introducing amazing softsynths. We’d like to call attention to their $10 add-on soundset, because this month all the proceeds benefit the Bob Moog Foundation. Here’s the company release: Memorymode 2: Cherry Audio’s Definitive […] The post Cherry Audio’s Memorymode 2 – Their New Flagship appeared first on Synth and Software.
