TranceDrive - free subtractive synth (VST)

[alphatonez]

TranceDrive is a subtractive synthesizer, that was build for Trance music. It has built in supersaw oscillators for really fat synths and pads, harsh filters, a trancegate and a huge reverb effect.

Features

• 3 main oscillators
• each main oscillator supports 6 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, saw7, cry
• the waveform "saw7" is a supersaw with 7 detunable sub oscillators
• the waveform "cry" is an experimental waveform, it is built up with several hardsynced saws
• main oscillator 2 has an additional unisono mode, when it is enabled, the whole oscillator triples its voice and the voices can be detuned from each other
• the oscillators can be chained (osc1 to osc2 and osc2 to osc3) using FM, PM and sync, these 3 options can also be used at the same time
• seperate noise oscillator
• 3 LFOs, each supports 5 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, sample and hold
• the LFOs can be synchronized to the host tempo or run free at a specific frequency
• each LFO can control multiple parameters of each OSC, you can even assign several LFOs to the same parameter
• LFO1 can control the filter cutoff
• 2 Envelope generators (Mod & Amp) with variable shapes
• the modulation envelope can control multiple parameters of each OSC, and it can also be mixed with the LFOs. Additionally it can control the filter cutoff
• 3 types of filters: lowpass, highpass and bandpass
• each filter type can be set to 6dB, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB steepness
• 9 effects, and they can be used at the same time: gater, chorus, phaser, flanger, distortion, delay, reverb, equalizer, stereo-effects
• each of the unused parts of the synth is shown with less contrast, so you can focus on the active parts
• the output of the synth can be clipped to avoid overdriving noise. The clipping is done with a soft limiter, that can be used to compress the whole synth sound (just enable clip and turn up the main volume)

looks promising, will install it and report back
thanks Alpha


EDIT:ok, so tested it with sx3 & cubase 5 and it crashes both so nice sounds but cant get it to work

[alphatonez]

great... looking forward to your feedback.

If you like the VST, maybe you want to create some presets, so we could release a soundpeak TranceDrive preset pack.
Who knows, maybe other members would like to join and create some presets aswell ?

Hmmm.. crashing ain't so nice... Too bad i am on MacOS, so i can't test it...

I should setup a PC environment, so i can test VST stuff too
