Solcito Musica has released
version 2.1 of
Sonico,
a free synth VST instrument plug-in for Windows with
analog / retro "features": mono keyboard, mono
output, no velocity.
It was inspired (but is not an
emulation) by Torturator, a hardware synth
the developer made in the '80s with "chips 555 and
binary CMOS counters".
The design is focused on the largest
possible diversity of presets with minimal controls.
Specs:
1 standard oscillator.
1 square wave osc with 4 simultaneous
octaves.
2 Envelope generators.
1 LFO.
1 filter with 2 simultaneous bands.
"Lead" retro effect.
"Vintager" effect, to give warmth-retro air.
Sonico is a free
synth with analog - retro "features": mono keyboard,
mono output, no velocity. I made it as a thank to
Escuela Sonica
(Buenos Aires, Argentina), and it was inspired (is
not an emulation) by
Torturator, a hardware synth I made in the '80s
with chips 555 and binary CMOS counters.
