A two-oscillator virtual analog synth in the spirit of Synth1. Newsynth1 is a Maru port of OpenSynth1, an open-source tribute synthesizer inspired by Synth1 and the Nord Lead 2, and it keeps that instrument's familiar layout and its full set of numbered controls.
What it is
A classic subtractive synth: two oscillators with a sub-oscillator, a filter, amplifier envelope, two LFOs, an arpeggiator and a chain of effects (a selectable effect stage, chorus and delay, plus EQ and pan). It plays up to 32 voices, 16 by default, in Poly, Mono or Legato mode, with portamento for glides.
This is an early release. It is playable and has the complete control set and factory bank, but its sound is not yet a match for OpenSynth1 control for control. OpenSynth1 itself is a tribute rather than a clone, and its own envelopes and voice shaping intentionally differ from the original Synth1.
