01Overview

Syndt is built around an oscillator that morphs between a pure sine and a square wave while its pulse width can be adjusted. Two independent mini-LFOs modulate the two axes of that XY pad, so the waveform can move continuously during a sound. Low and high pass filters with resonance, an optional filter attack, and optional velocity sensitivity give the synth room to shape raw, aggressive timbres as well as softer ones. The plugin also includes 70+ presets to start from.

Oscillator, LFO and Filter Sound Design

The main oscillator uses an XY pad. The X-axis controls pulse width, moving from a pure sine on the left to a short pulse on the right. The Y-axis morphs between pure sine and square. Each axis has its own sine-only mini-LFO, which can be reset on each new note or left running freely.

The dedicated LFO is more flexible. It can be shaped like the oscillator and routed to the low pass filter, high pass filter, gain level and pitch. It can also have an optional attack time and, in AUv3 mode, sync to the host tempo.

The filters pair a low pass and a high pass section, each with resonance. The low pass filter can respond to note velocity and has an optional attack setting, which together let you vary brightness across notes and over the length of a sound.

Effects, Playing Features and Use Cases

Syndt includes a ping pong delay that can sync to an AUv3 host, a stereo chorus and a three-band EQ for the output. Legato mode with a glide speed control and an adjustable pitch bend range cover common lead and bass playing needs.

The combination of morphing oscillator, modulated filters and built-in effects suits synth leads, basses and pads that need movement. The included presets give a starting point for these styles.
