AlgoMusic has announced the release of CZynthia, a dual phase distortion virtual synthesizer for Windows.
Czynthia is a dual PD (Phase Distortion) virtual synthesizer. Each synth is arranged in 3 basic blocks, not unlike those of a classic analog synthesizer: Pitch > Phase > AMP
Note: While this VSTi is inspired by the original Casio CZ series of synthesizers produced in the 1980’s, it does not seek to emulate it.
CZynthia features
- Two Phase Distortion Oscillator sections each offering two sets of 8 waveforms.
- Three 8 stage envelopes each synth for control of pitch, phase and amplitude.
- LFO (BPM synced or free running) offering 22 waveforms, rate and delay with pitch and phase destinations.
- Pulsar module for algorithmic style pitch/phase modulation. (BPM synced)
- Ring modulation, detune and transpose controls.
- Volume and panorama controls for stereo imaging and master volume.
- Scale generator for force scaling of notes. Choice of 8 scales with root key selection.
- Powerful multi FX section offering 7 simultaneous stereo effects: EQ, Rotor, Metal, Wah, Delay, Chorus, Reverb.
CZynthia is available as a VST instrument plug-in for Windows PC for $39.95 USD / 27.95 EUR.

Les Productions Zvon has released Cosmology, a SoundFont for the M42 Nebula by AlgoMusic.
The cosmology soundfont contains more “mainstream” samples that my previous soundfonts for the M42 Nebula but still has its fair share of “experimental” samples.
Programs are arranged in 4 banks of 5 to suit the M42 bank selector.
Cosmology includes 20 programs, 41 presets and is 75 MB in size.
The SoundFont can be purchased for $9.99 USD, or as part of the Zvon M42 soundfonts bundle for $24.99 USD.

algomusic.com has released MaxScore, a music notation tool for the Max/MSP environment.
MaxScore is a Max object which accepts messages that can create a score, add notes to it, transform them, perform it, save and load the score, as well as export the score to popular formats for professional publishable results.
MaxScore’s Setup Score help patchMaxScore features
- Play back a score and drive your MSP patches through a well-defined instrument interface.
- Created and modify scores in real-time.
- Add notes explicitly by specifying durations and pitches, or use Max to generate an arbitrary stream of musical events and use MaxScore’s Transcriber to notate them automatically.
- Exports to MusicXML so you can load your scores into Finale and Sibelius. Also exports to the GNU LilyPond automated engraving system.
A manual for MaxScore is available for download in PDF format.
MaxScore, commissioned by “Bipolar – German-Hungarian Cultural Projects” (an initiative of the Federal Cultural Foundation of Germany), was programmed in Java Music Specification Language by Nick Didkovsky. While MaxScore is freely available to the public, it requires a JMSL license to run (available at AlgoMusic).
