Developer Jeff McClintock has announced that SynthEdit 1.6, now available as a beta release, is for the first time available for Mac, in addition to Windows.

SynthEdit is a visual modular development environment for creating virtual instruments and audio effects, allowing users to design and export plugins without writing low-level DSP code.

It was originally introduced on Windows back in 1987. With verison 1.6, SynthEdit is adding Mac support. A Linux version is also in development.

SynthEdit lets you build virtual instrument plugins by placing modules onto a graphical canvas and connecting them with virtual patch cables. A built-in panel designer is used to create the plugin interface.

The application supports exporting VST3 and Audio Unit plugins and can be extended with third-party C++ modules.

Features:

• Visual modular patching environment for building synthesizers, effects, MIDI utilities, and experimental audio processors
• Drag-and-drop workflow using interconnected modules instead of traditional programming
• Built-in GUI designer for creating custom plugin interfaces
• Export support for VST3 plugins on Windows and macOS and Audio Unit plugins on macOS
• Supports creation of subtractive, additive, FM, wavetable, hybrid, and sample-based instruments
• More than 300 built-in modules are included
• Expandable through a library of over 1,000 third-party C++ modules
• MIDI 2.0 and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support
• SFZ sample playback support
• Universal VST3 export supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs
• “Export as JUCE” option for generating additional plugin formats in supported workflows
• Searchable module browser
• Zoomable editor interface
• XML-based project format
• No royalties are charged on plugins created with SynthEdit

SynthEdit is available now for Mac and Windows. A free demo is available with no expiration period. A Linux version is also in development.

Synthesist and composer John C.S. Keston has released a new album, Consonant Dissonance, that explores improvising with piano and a modular synthesizer.

The album captures a series of piano improvisations that explore how the human expression of a piano performance can be emphasized or contrasted by feeding it through a modular synthesizer.

He explains:

“For each piece the piano signals are handled in different ways. These include granular synthesis, looping, pitch shifting, reverse, analog filtering, delay, and reverberation, all modulated via a function generator, low frequency oscillators, and a sampling touch controller operated by the performer.”

You can preview Cognitive Dissonance below, and download it via Keston’s Bandcamp page.
