The Miffi synth:
Miffi employs a variant of DSF synthesis which uses complex number arithmetic to generate comb filtered stereo signals. By morphing between two DSF parameter sets, Miffi is capable of synthesizing a wide variety of sounds and effects.
I created Miffi, which is a derivative of Moppeltron, using Synthedit. It doesn't use native Synthedit oscillators but a complex number processing DSF oscillator which I coded in C++.
Features
Stereo output of comb filtered signals with one-sided or two-sided spectra.
A morphing unit allowing static mixes of two DSF parameter sets as well as dynamic warping between two sets using an ADSR envelope or an LFO.
Freely selectable polyphony with up to 16 voices. Note sliding. Adjustable pitch bend range.
ADSR envelope and a gain for volume control. Embedded piano keyboard control.
MIDI control of all parameters. Easy MIDI-CC assignment by MIDI learn function.
64 presets ...

Wave Simulator: An accurate simulation of a PPG Wave 2.2 synthesizer.
Together with Paul Maddox, I developed a hardware/software combination to drag the PPG Waveterm into modern times - Waveterm C. I haven't found the time yet to finish it - other projects, like VSTHost, consume too much of my time. Besides, the capabilities of today's average computers have grown to a point where it's relatively easy to simulate a complete synthesizer, with only minute differences, inside the PC. So... that's what I did.
As noted above, I'm also creating programs in the VST area (VSTHost and its little brother SAVIHost). In parallel, I also created a VST variant of WaveSim. This one works inside a VST host, be it a big sequencer package or a small "standalonifier" like SAVIHost or Tobybear's Minihost. It doesn't have the full feature set yet (the debugging part is still missing), and some parameters that are easily tweaked in the standalone version can only be reached by parameter automation, but it works quite well already.
Please note that the simulation really is as accurate as possible; that is, while it has a keyboard, this is not velocity-sensitive (notes turned on by MIDI are using the velocity information), but the PPG-style aftertouch can be simulated by dragging the mouse up and down on pressed keys. All the knobs and keys on the UI are implemented as automated parameters, so you can even record and playback knob movements and/or data changes to the current program ...
Stringsynth:
Emulation (no samples here!) of those string synthesizers of the late 70's made famous by ARP and Solina. It features a full ADSR envelope generator, a small effect section with a phaser, a delay and of course the 'ensemble' effect.
"The characteristic -ensemble- sound of those machines of old was not realised by adding expensive oscillators, but by using a (at the time) brand new and relative low cost technology: the BBD chip (Bucket Brigade Device), which was basicly a analog delay line".
Included are 40 patches by Tim Conrardy, UGO, Matthew DeMeritt and Dr Ambient.
