Contralogic has released an updated version of Pterosaur, a free synthesizer plug-in for Windows.

Pterosaur is a 16 oscillator synth. It’s loosely inspired by the classic Supersaw sound of the Roland JP-8000 in that the output of each oscillator can be independently detuned and panned, creating a very rich sound.

The basic waveform produced by the oscillators is a sawtooth wave which can be morphed into a sort of saw/pulse hybrid with the mod control.

Changes in Pterosaur

  • Polyphonic mode added.
  • More LFO shapes.
  • 3 additional oscillator waveforms (sine, triangle and square), all of which can be morphed in the same way as the sawtooth wave in the original version.

Pterosaur for Windows (VST) is available to download at no cost.
