Rogue:
Think Ol' Skool Detroit, Roland TB-303, Radioshack Electronics Learning Lab, and a half-dead 9V battery, meets the underground technology from a dark civilization of the distant future. (use your imagination.)
Rogue is comprised of 6 sections:
-Wave Controls: Select between Saw or Square waveforms. Pitch controls consist of octave, coarse, and fine controls. Unison, mix, and tone controls are also available.
-LFO Controls: This is just a standard LFO with various destinations. Rogue's LFO features a delay, that allows you to "fade-in" the LFO's effect.
-Lowpass Filter Controls: A standard low pass filter with resonance.
-Assignable Envelope Controls: The assignable envelope can be routed to nearly any of Rogue's other controls via its dual destination slots. It also features a unique "Step Mode" that creates varying levels of hard stepping through the envelope's range.
-MIDI/Modulation Controls: Allows you to enable the accent control and envelope retrigger, adjust the accent amount, set the bend range, glide time, and modulation amount/source/destination. Features dual destination slots and enable controls.
-Distortion/Master Controls: Rogue's unique distortion controls and final tone/volume controls.
Rogue is a raspy, fried transistor, dropped on the ground a couple of times, bass/lead VSTi based on the slightly overdone subtractive synth concept. But what makes it unique is its ability to fry its own output in a lovingly controlled manner making it so much fun to play, you may not even notice it's just a bunch of saw (or square) waves being sent through a couple of lowpass filters.
This document introduces cesSynth1, a VST2 plugin which models a flexible analogue synthesiser. The synth is a dual oscillator design, incorporating a fourth order resonant low pass filter. The model features:
Polyphonic - up to 32 notes can be played, with a polyphony limiting control
Dual oscillators, with selectable octaves
Three oscillator waveforms (variable pulse, variable saw and triangle), which can be combined to produce complex composite waveforms for each oscillator.
Three modulation sources (LFO, and two complex envelope generators).
Fourth order resonant low pass filter.
The following controls can be modulated - frequency of each oscillator, VCA for each oscillator, VCF cutoff frequency.
A custom GUI
Monophonic, polyphonic and Arpeggio operating modes.
The frequency of each oscillator is based on the fundamental of the note played, and the status of the pitch bend wheel. This base frequency can be modulated by the modulation sources, and Oscillator 2 can also be modified by a constant offset. The modulation sources will be described later. Each oscillator provides three basic waveforms - pulse, saw and triangle. There is a width control for the pulse and saw waveforms which controls the amount of time spent on the first half of the cycle (positive for pulse, and rising for saw).
The width control can therefore vary the saw waveform from a falling saw (0%) through a triangle (50%) to a rising saw (100%). The waveform of each oscillator can be built from a combination of the three basic shapes, with variable amounts of each waveform. The GUI provides visual feedback of the resulting waveform shape.
Having been amplitude modulated, the combined output of the two oscillators is fed to the filter stage. The filter is a 4 pole low pass design, with resonance ...
AlgoMusic's Arpy is a free virtual analogue vsti plugin for windows.
Features includes a unison oscillator with selectable number of voices, an arpeggiator, synced LFO's and delay.It is described as a "groove generator with a unique sound".
Included are presets designed by Tim Conrardy, and a user bank designed by Relayer which is excellent as well.
