Cynthia - Free Windows
VST That Emulates EMS SynthiA
22nd May 2008
Cynthia
is a free Windows VSTi inspired by the classic
EMS Synthi A.
Specifications:
3 oscillators with controls for shape
and level of the waveforms
OSC1: Range from 0.6 Hz to 16 kHz,
sine and triangle
OSC2: Range from 0.6 Hz to 16 kHz,
square and triangle
OSC3: Range from 0.015 Hz to 500 Hz,
square and triangle
Noise generator
Two audio inputs so you can modify the
sound of a guitar or your voice
A nasty filter that can go into
self-oscillation
An attack-hold-decay(-repeat) envelope
controlling the volume, and doubling as an
envelope generator with a freely assignable
output
Ring modulator
Spring reverb
Joystick for extra control
Stereo outputs with extra filters, pan
and volume control
A 16 x 16 routing matrix, where you can
connect everything at will
2 pairs of stereo outputs
Direct out
Speaker (simulating the sound of a pair
of canny speakers)
Additional Features in Cynthia:
Each OSC can be synced and phase shifted
(0-180 degrees) at will.
A delay module with delay time in the
range 0-0.1 seconds or 1-10 seconds. This
allows you to delay not only audio, but also
phase shift it or delay control voltages.
More advanced modifications of envelope
control voltage as you can add bias, invert
it and adjust its level independently.
Inversion of each individual connection
you make in the matrix
A simple 8 step control voltage
sequencer, that allows you to make a
sequence of notes, but also filter
frequency, amplification or what ever you
feel like.
Adjustable portamento time, so you can
make nice glides.
A build in tuner, so you can tune each
OSC by ear.
3 extra matrix rows for the build in CV
sequencer, and host MIDI pitch and velocity.
A collection of nice presets to get you
started (thanks HSkovlund)
And of course: MIDI cc’s can be assigned
at your command to any knob!
