About Pendulate
Pendulate, developed by Newfangled Audio, is a free chaotic mono synth that introduces a novel approach to sound generation through its double-pendulum oscillator. This unique oscillator design allows for seamless transitions from pure sine waves to complex, chaotic textures, enabling the creation of biting basses, searing leads, and gritty soundscapes. Inspired by the designs of synthesizer pioneer Don Buchla, Pendulate incorporates a wave folder and low pass gate, further expanding its sonic capabilities. The user interface features an innovative modulation system, permitting modulation of every control directly from the main page, with support for up to 325 simultaneous modulation routings. Additionally, Pendulate offers MPE support, enhancing expressive control with compatible hardware. The synthesizer comes equipped with 136 presets, including contributions from professional artists.

Generate
Generate, developed by Newfangled Audio, is a unique cinematic polysynth that combines chaotic oscillators with traditional synthesis elements to create evolving and dynamic sounds. It features eight chaotic generators capable of smoothly transitioning from sine waves to complex, unpredictable textures, offering a vast sonic palette. The synthesizer includes five wave folder types, providing diverse harmonic shaping options. Generate's modulation system is extensive, allowing users to modulate any control with MIDI or MPE, facilitating expressive performances. The built-in effects suite comprises delay, reverb, chorus, and more, enabling further sound enhancement. With over 800 professional and artist presets covering basses, leads, pads, plucks, rhythms, sequences, and textures, Generate serves as a versatile tool for musicians and sound designers seeking innovative and evolving sounds.

Zebralette
Zebralette is our version of a Trojan horse. A free synthesizer and an introduction to Zebra2's fantastic oscillators. Perhaps it will persuade you to try Zebra2 and upgrade. If one oscillator is this powerful, imagine what you can achieve with four, and all the other great features available in Zebra2. Zebralette is an introduction to Zebra2's powerful oscillators. Zebra2 can seem overwhelming at first glance, so we stripped it down to a single oscillator plus a few other features and created Zebralette, the little Zebra. Once you master Zebralette you can move up to Zebra2 with confidence. Your presets can come with you, as Zebralette presets can be opened in Zebra2. But more than a teaching tool, Zebralette is an incredible-sounding synth in its own right. Surrounding Zebra's spectral oscillator with a few core modulation options and effects makes Zebralette highly capable.

Repro
Repro dives into the past for analog inspiration, meticulously modeling two famous synthesizers. Every detail of the original was captured using component-level modeling technology to create the most authentic model possible. All the subtle characteristics and quirks found in the originals are present in Repro. One product, one installer, two synths. The classic design gives you immediate access to all the raw power. Two oscillators, a self-oscillating 4-pole lowpass filter, an arpeggiator, a step sequencer, the unique modulation section, and five stomp-box effects can be arranged in any order. Hard-working, raw sounding, and immediately playable, it's a simple and intuitive synthesizer that belies a deep feature set capable of a wide range of sounds. Our plug-in version includes all the lovable quirks of this classic synth, but with a much more capable sequencer, lots of presets, several under-the-hood tweaks, and more modulation options.

Syndt
Syndt is a high-quality polyphonic synthesizer with a lot of possibilities. The oscillator waveform can be morphed between pure sine to pure square and supports altering of pulse width. Both the shape and pulse width can be modulated by two independent LFOs. With fine-tuned low pass and high pass filters combined with a separate filter attack setting, (optionally based on velocity) this synth can create some raw and interesting sounds. The additional LFO can be shaped exactly as the oscillator and optionally controls filters, gain, and pitch (using a modulation wheel or just automatically). This LFO can be synchronized to an AUv3 host. Globally there’s a nice stereo chorus, ping-pong stereo delay (that also can sync to an AUv3 host BPM), and EQ. XY pad-based oscillator and LFO (PWM on the X axis and morphs between sine and square on the Y axis). Independent mini-LFO (sine only) for each axis of the oscillator XY-pad.
