ZynAddSubFX exposes a wide array of synthesis parameters to make it flexible tool for sound design and a fun experience for playing instruments. image::doc/zyn-fusion-add.png[Zyn-Fusion Add Synth Editor] Features ~~~~~~~~ * Polyphonic with support for legato and mono playing modes. * Three synthesizer engines: ** Additive Synthesis for classic synth sounds composed of a variety of voices with powerful modulation. This exposes modulators ranging from LFOs and envelopes to oscillator modulators for FM, PM, and AM. ** Subtractive Synthesis for creating variable bandwidth harmonics from filtered white noise. ** PAD synthesis for creating beautiful pads and other instruments. * Powerful waveform generator with up to 128 sine/non-sine harmonics. * A variety of filters including analogue modeled filters, formant filters, and state variable filters. * Envelopes can have ADSR (or ASR, etc..) modes or can be free modes (with any shape). * Effects for Reverb, Echo, Chorus/Flange, Phasing, Wave-shaping, Equalizing, Dynamic Filtering with flexible signal routing. * Instruments can be organized in kits, which allows you to make drum kits or layered instruments; this makes possible to use more than one instrument for a single part. It is possible to choose what items from the kit should be processed by the Part's effects. * Randomness settings to create subtle differences in each sound to help create that familiar analogue warmth. * Microtonal capabilities with any scale, up to 128 notes per octave, and key mapping. * Extensive MIDI/Audio driver support including JACK, ALSA, OSS, and PortAudio. The following MIDI protocol extensions are provided: ** Floating point notes via MIDI SysEx. Allows the exact pitch of a note on event to be specified as a 28-bit value. ** Per-note controller events via MIDI SysEx. Allows individual active notes to receive MIDI control events. ** Per-note pitch bend events via MIDI SysEx. Allows individual active notes to change pitch. * Session Management Support via LASH/NSM. * Plugin Support via DSSI/LV2/VST. * Over 1100 high quality instruments included.

For more information on building the core along with the FLTK based interface see doc/building.txt and for building the new interface see https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-build. Required: - FFTW 3.x.x - necessary for Fast Fourier computations - MXML-2.5+ - from https://www.msweet.org/mxml/ - zlib - from https://www.zlib.net/ - Liblo - networked open sound control Optional: - FLTK (for the oldest user interface) - NTK (for the old user interface) - JACK - OSS - ALSA - LASH - DSSI Sibling projects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - rtosc - realtime open sound control https://github.com/fundamental/rtosc - mruby-zest - the framework for the zyn-fusion GUI https://github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest License ~~~~~~~ ZynAddSubFX is available under the GPL-2.0-or-later license.
