Firebird 2 - Tone2 Synthesizer VST Plugin

Firebird 2 is an unique and innovative subtractive synthesizer released as a free VST plugin, it uses an innovative synthesis architecture to deliver his unique sounds. The interface of Tone2 synth is very easy to use and allows you to create interesting patches with minimal effort. FireBird 2 comes with 437 build-in preset sounds.

The Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis (HCM) is also present in FireBird's much more powerful successor Gladiator, based on a large range of standard waves such as saw, pulse and more complex wave material, like multi-waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos and voice samples.

These waves are modified by special algorithms, which can alter the harmonic structure. FireBird 2 allows 84 different morphable oscillator types. Also 23 spectral manipulations or "modifiers" can be applied to the oscillators. A fat knob doubles or quadruples the number of oscillators giving up to 8 oscillators per voice.

FireBird comes with 38 different sounding filter types, such as Lowpass (6-40dB), Analog, Vocal, Phaser, Comb, EQ, FM, AM, Resample, Elliptic and so on. The synthesizer offers 13 different effect types, has several reverb and tab-delay variations, chorus, ensemble, flanger, and rotary effects as well as combinations and a simple arpeggiator is also included.

Sylenth1 - LennarDigital Synth Presets (Sound Banks) and Skins

LennarDigital’s Sylenth1, a virtual analog VSTi plugin synthesizer, is a paradigm shift in digital music technology development, being meticulously designed to transcend the conventional standards of quality and performance. The primary objective of Sylenth1 is to rival, if not surpass, the sound quality benchmarks established by hardware synthesizers.

Sylenth1 is not merely another synthesizer, it's engineered to generate a sound that is not only richer and deeper but also capable of matching the quality of professional hardware synthesizers.

This commitment to superior quality distinguishes Sylenth1 in the digital music landscape, it represents the power and potential of digital technology in emulating, and even exceeding, the capabilities of hardware counterparts. Thus, Sylenth1 stands as a significant contribution to the evolution of digital music technology.

High Quality Synthesis

With focus on a advanced design and optimization, Lennar Digital's Sylenth1 is a comprehensive tool, equipped with four alias-free unison oscillators capable of generating waveforms that mirror those found in analog synthesis, resulting in rich, crisp, detailed sound.

The distinctive attribute of Sylenth1 is its pioneering synthesis methodology, which is capable of producing a diverse array of waveforms in real-time, with the capacity to handle up to 512 voices concurrently. This extraordinary accomplishment is realized with minimal utilization of CPU resources, underscoring the efficiency of Sylenth1’s synthesis engine.

Sylenth1’s capacity to generate a high volume of quality waveforms concurrently, without overtaxing the CPU, highlights its potential in the field of modern music production. It not only emulates but also enhances the capabilities of its analog counterparts, establishing itself as a powerful and efficient tool for sound generation.

The filter section, a significant feature of this synthesizer, is composed of two unique sections. Each of these sections encapsulates the core of pure analog sound, demonstrating the cutting-edge technology that they embody.

Each of these sections is composed of four filter stages. These stages are characterized by nonlinear saturation, a feature that is deliberately incorporated to mimic the warmth and drive intrinsic to a genuine analog filter. The intention behind this design is to replicate the unique attributes of analog sound, which is often described as warm and raw.

The result of this intricate configuration is a sound that is not only robust and solid but also possesses the crackling warmth typically associated with raw, analog sound. This synthesis of technology and design in the VST synthesizer’s filter area serves to bridge the gap between the digital and analog domains, delivering a sound that is both modern in its clarity and nostalgic in its warmth.

Sylenth provides an array of modulation options to shape the sound, incorporating 2 ADSR envelopes and 2 LFOs, which can be utilized to modulate a comprehensive set of parameters. Furthermore, it offers the capability to employ an additional 2 amplitude envelopes, velocity, keyboard tracking, or the modulation wheel as a source for modulation.

It also has a built-in full featured master effects section comprised of a set of 7 professional quality sound effects and an arpeggiator: distortion, phaser, chorus, equalizer, delay, reverb and compression fx are available. The arpeggiator has a built-in step sequencer, 10 different melodic modes, adjustable pitch, velocity and hold settings, being able to output Step Velocity as a modulation source.

This popular instrument plugin has many collections of pre-configured settings for music production that fits a variety of genres. These presets can help quickly achieve certain sounds or effects without having to manually adjust all the parameters. Some of these are:

Sample Magic: 96 free presets with Arp, Bass, Chord, Key, FX, Lead, Pad, Plucks and Seq patches for Lennar Digital Sylenth1.

The Creative Sylenth Care Package: 12 sound banks, lot's of free presets, EDM included. Mediafire only, no torrent available.

Sylenth1 Free Skins Download


Alternative skins to change the default GUI looks of Sylenth1 can be found at VSTskins. A software capable of changing Windows 10 executable resource data, like Resource Hacker freeware, is needed to install Sylenth skins.

Sylenth1 is compatible with FL Studio and Ableton DAW and Mac OSx.

Synth 1 VST (Ichiro Toda/Presets Soundbanks)

Synth1 is a software VST synthesizer designed by Ichiro Toda (Daichi Laboratory). It was originally projected as an emulation of the Nord Lead 2 synthesizer, since then has become a unique Virtual Studio Technology instrument and one of the best sounding and most downloaded VSTi plugins of all time.

synth1-vst-presets-download

The strengths of this 32/64 bits plugin instrument includes a low CPU usage allowing various instances of the VST to run simultaneously, also a multitude of user generated Synth1 presets/patches soundbanks are available to download and install, see some links below.

Ichiro Toda's Synth1 started as a digital synthesizer based on the Clavia Nord Lead 2, and since the Nord Lead 2 is also a digital synthesizer, is able to emulate its sounds characteristics more closely than digital synthesizers that aim to emulate analogue synthesis.


Synth 1 Specifications


  • Three oscillators, one with a FM modulation, one with ring modulation and synchronization, and one sub-oscillator. Osc 1 can operate as detuned supersaw.
  • One filter section, with distortion. Four filter types: two high-pass, one low-pass, and a band-pass filter.
  • Two assignable LFOs, which can be synchronized to a host tempo.

Winkl free foldback distortion VST plugin by Tek'it Audio updated to v1.2.1

Winkl, a free foldback distortion plugin by Tek'it Audio for VST2, VST3 and Audio Unit plugin formats has been updated to version 1.2.1.

A foldback distortion is a type of effect where the waveform instead of being clipped off and chopped, is reflected back like a mirror so that the top of the waveform is inverted, creating very different harmonics and a unique sound.

This update focus mainly on performance improvements for all plugin formats and less CPU usage when the plugin is in idle state (not processing audio).

Changes in Winkl 1.2.1:


  • Performance improvements.
  • Less CPU use when plugin is idle.
  • More information on the about screen.
  • Retina support for the macOS installer.
