Ichiro Toda has released version 1.13 beta 2 of the Windows version of Synth1, a freeware synthesizer instrument.

Synth1 is a software synthesizer. Functionally it is modelled on the Clavia Nord Lead 2 Red Synth.

Changes in Synth1 v1.13 beta2

  • A new filter “LPDL” has been added in filter section.
    • It is a low-pass filter modeled after the diode ladder mounted on TB303, etc.
    • It is close to “LP24” Because it is the filter of the fourth order, but it is fat and darker than “LP24” feel.
    • Lower frequency also increase the resonance does not decrease. I think that it fits well in the synth bass.
    • This filter is over-sampling process if the sampling frequency is 44.1/48KHz.
  • Accuracy of the square wave has been improved. (8 multiple detune of osc1 are excluded)
  • Cut-off frequency of the “LP24” is now moving more smoothly.
  • BugFix
    • Fixed a problem that a big noise has occurred at synth1 startup once in a while.
    • Fixed a problem that the LFO is not synchronized with the DAW once in a while.
    • Fixed a problem that the sound of synth1 is greatly changed once in a while when you change the sampling frequency in DAW.
    • Fixed a problem that DAW is crushed once in a while when you change the sampling frequency in DAW.

The new beta is available to download for Windows (32/64-bit VST).
