One of the things that may have held back your sound design aspirations is just how complex soft synths can look. Sometimes this is done deliberately – developers want their creations to look ...

Synthesis using physical modeling has a long history. As computational costs for physical modeling synthesis are often much greater than for conventional synthesis methods, most techniques currently ...

The latest Dawesome synthesiser, MYTH, takes dynamic sound to the next level. MYTH is a new approach to sound synthesis packaged in a 24-voice modular microtonality capable plugin with a powerful ...

The wonderful thing about the emergence of synthesizer technology in the 70s and early 80s is that it gave rise to many fantastically engaging stories, which have since entered the folklore of the ...

We've discussed before how modular synthesis is having something of a moment. But, the barrier to entry is relatively high. The affordable stuff often lacks musicality, and even if you pick up ...

USound announced the use of its MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) speakers in the creation of a musical instrument that only works in zero gravity. Selected by the company Physical Synthesis for ...

Korg has already made several announcements ahead of NAMM 2024, and now the company’s back with a refresh of its popular Opsix FM synthesizer. The Opsix mk II still offers an approachable entryway ...
