Hello Techno Addicts! It's finally here. A new tutorial video was uploaded on the Techno-Addicts Youtube channel for proper installation of the Synth1 Mac VST. Click To Tweet This is the newest updated tutorial as of October 2018 found on the net. For the past year or so, many Synth1 MAC users have made it known that the Synth1 Mac VST had compatibility issues with the newest FL Studio Version 20. I had mentioned in another blog post that this was mainly due to the Synth1 Mac Ver1.13beta8being released back in 2015. So a three-year-old VST is bound to have some problems as a result of inactivity on updates. However, I have discovered that as the Synth1 Mac VST is made up of two parts (Component & VST File); the AU component is rendered useless. As a matter of fact, the AU component is the culprit for the incompatibility issues. So the best way to solve this issue is to not even use the AU component and only use the VST file.
Upon completing these first two steps, you're already halfway there! The other half involves properly extracting the (.ZIP)25,000 Synth1 Presetsfile using iZip Unarchiver so that each individual (.ZIP) preset bank extracts correctly. Each soundbank will be extracted to a new REGULAR folder on the desktop renamed, '25,000 Synth1 Presets' so that it is easy to pinpoint. After that, there are only a few more steps to go. To view the rest don't forget to check out the tutorial video here!
- Mac DeMarco is a Canadian musician known for his brand of old-school-influenced indie music, using a chorused guitar sound, simple arrangements and a varispeed tape sound. After utilising synths for Salad Days' Chamber of Reflection, synths took on a much bigger role in for 2017 album This Old Dog, with several synth-only tracks. Mac's main synth to use on recordings is his Roland Juno-60.

Synths Modulair ModulAir is a modular polyphonic software synthesizer for Microsoft Windows (VST) and Apple macOS (VST/AU) written in native C code for high performance and low CPU consumption. This straightforward synth has a powerful sound and compact, lightweight interface. It contains a unique visual envelope editor and handy onboard effects including bitcrusher and TAL's emulation of the Juno 60/106 chorus effect. Vember Audio Surge. Vember Audio Surge is probably the most powerful free VST synth on this list. 8 Timeless (And Free) VST Synths Worth A Look There is a myth that money buys quality and therefore anything free is guaranteed to be flimsy, shoddy or downright useless. This seems to make sense in the real world, where the quality of materials and components is reflected in their cost.

SYNTH SPECIFICATIONS
Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid
Each patch contain two ‘scenes' which are separate instances of the entire synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layering or split patches.
Quick category-based patch browser
Slot machine meaning. Runs on a variety of operating systems, plugin formats, and architectures
FACTORY SOUNDS
- 1725 patches
- 523 wavetables
OSCILLATORS
- 3 oscillators per scene.
- 8 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sine, Wavetable, Window, FM2, FM3, S&H Noise and Audio Input.
- Classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dual saw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and hard sync.
- FM2/FM3 oscillators consist of a carrier and 2 or 3 modulators and various options.
- Most algorithms (except FM2, FM3 and Audio input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
- Oscillator FM and ring modulation between oscillators 1-2 and 2-3.
- Most oscillator algorithms (except FM2, FM3 and Sine) are strictly band-limited, yet still cover the entire audible spectrum, delivering a clear punchy yet clean sound.
- Noise generator with variable spectrum.
FILTER BLOCK
- Two filter units in 8 different configurations.
- Feedback loop available in 7 of those configurations.
- Available filter algorithms: Lowpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Lowpass 24 dB/oct (3 variations), Ladder Lowpass (6-24 dB/oct), Highpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Bandpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Notch (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 2 variations), Comb (4 variations), S&H.
- Filters can self-oscillate (with excitation) and respond amazingly fast to cutoff frequency changes.
- Waveshaper (5 shapes).
EFFECTS
- 8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts per scene, 2 sends and 2 master effects.
- 13 effect algorithms:
- EQ, Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo image control and limiter), Frequency Shifter, Rotary Speaker, Ring Modulator, Vocoder, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay, Reverb 1, Reverb 2
