So far the collection includes:. This is one my of favorite choices. The interface is accessible, clean and to the point and thick, beefy sounds are possible from the get-go. Really nice! The synth also includes a small effect section with a reverb, chorus and a simple bit crusher effect. A display shows the knob and slider values. This allows more control over the synth. A ring modulator and a syncable triangle are also part of this synth.
Its improved amplitude ADSR is very suitable for slow pads and for really fast envelopes. Thump is a unique audio processor that allows you to synthesize low-frequency audio to add low end to a track or generate another sound entirely. Thump looks at the pitch and dynamics of its audio input and uses this information to control its oscillators.
You can add low end to drums, augment a bass or even create synthetic drones. Thump is ideal for beefing up a kick drum, adding low end to percussive tracks, recreating classic drum synth sounds and more. The effect of Thump is similar to generating a sine wave or other waveform on a gated track that is side-chained to a transient on another track such as a kick.
But Thump allows more control, two oscillators that can be changed on the fly and more pitch specific envelope control. If you like kicks that are thick as hell and challenge the range of human hearing, you will like Thump a lot. NOTE: the instrument requires a transient input to be activated so you would use it like an insert rather than a standalone synth. These elements can be modulated by a common LFO and one of two envelopes.
While these instruments may not be the best things in life — they are free. And it has been my experience that there is something to be learned from every piece of software, as there is from all types of music. Experimentation and exploration yield untold rewards for the adventurous, and freeware is a great place to start your journey or a means to unshackle yourself, at least temporarily, from the financial constraints that plague us all.

Crystal Synth by Green Oak This is one is a bit frustrating and takes a while to get anything remotely usable. Lokomotiv Lokomotiv is an analog retro synthesizer that is impressive from the first launch. Oscillator : Mathematically generated high definition Oscillator without using wavetable or interpolation. Silky smooth 9X detuned sawtooth wave. Pulse wave with self PWM. Shape morphing sub-oscillator. One-shot LFO which can be used as envelope. Eight polyphonic voices, Mono and Legato mode supported.
Native bit, Mac and Windows OS supported. Digits from Extent of the Jam This one sports a subdued color palette with beefy growls, preset chords and brass sounds.
Features: Three Oscillators. Sub Osc rectangle. What does Logic Pro do? Logic Pro is the most advanced version of Logic ever. If you want to download the software on your windows pc or mac, you could either first visit the Mac store or Microsoft AppStore and search for the app OR you can easily use any of the download links we provided above under the "Download and Install" header section to download the application.
Our download links are from safe sources and are frequently virus scanned to protect you. Unlike all Logic versions before 9, there is no option to manually show the EXS where to look for the samples. If you are lucky enough to have the original old hard drive you created the samples on, and you are able to somehow connect it to your Mac - it will work.
But copy the folder of samples to your new drive s and it stops working. Lots of long standing bugs have never been fixed in Logic, but with every update new bugs are introduced. Good luck running a session relying on punching into a track. Zoom settings are having random weird problems. They are all excellent and capable DAWs. However, after using Logic Pro X, it is hard to migrate to any other music software. I find myself able to create music with relative ease that the other DAWs just are not capable of.
The MIDI capabilities alone are second to none in Logic and the ability to compose music in all styles makes it the best of the best.
Another huge plus is the constant and free updates Apple provides… updates that are really upgrades in the quality and number of plug-ins and soft instruments built into the program. Composing music or just recording a band is easy with this software. Whether you are into acoustic, jazz, electronica or rock, this software package is the best there is and gets updated constantly by Apple.
Apple takes this software very seriously and I commend them for their excellence. Version
