NAME¶

zynaddsubfx - a software synthesizer

SYNOPSIS¶

zynaddsubfx [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION¶

zynaddsubfx is a polyphonic multimbral synthesizer, which supports three synthesis engines and numerous effects to generate sound.

1) ADsynth generates sounds by adding a number of voices. Each voice has filters, envelopes, LFOs, morphing, modulation (Ring Modulation, Phase Modulation... the modulators can have any shape), resonance, etc... Each voice includes a waveform generator with up to 128 sine/non-sine harmonics. You can use Fourier synthesis or if you don’t like it you can wave-shaping/filtering of functions.

2) SUBsynth is a simple engine which makes sounds through harmonic filtering of white noise

3) PADsynth is an engine that makes very beautiful pads and other instruments, which can be exported for use with other programs.

Midi and audio support exists for OSS, ALSA, JACK, and others...
