ZynAddSubFX (also now called Zyn-Fusion) is a free and open-sourcesoftware synthesizer for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. As of version 3, the completely new user interface is being released under proprietary terms with an open-source-eventually intention while the synthesis engine remains under the original GPL terms.[1]
For sound generation it has three hybrid synth engines that combine additive, subtractive, Fourier and other synthesis methods. No external samples are used to produce the sound; everything is done by synthesis.The synthesizer has effects like reverberation, echo, chorus, distortion, equalization and others, and supports microtonal tunings.[2][3]
The original author of ZynAddSubFX is Romanian programmer Nasca Octavian Paul.[4][5] The project was started in March 2002[2] and the first public version (1.0.0) was released on September 25, 2002.[6] Since 2009, the new maintainer is Mark McCurry.[7]
Sound generation[edit]
ZynAddSubFX combines several different methods of audio synthesis in order to create sounds: additive synthesis by the ADSynth engine,[2]subtractive synthesis by the SUBSynth engine,[2] and an original algorithm used to generate wavetables in the PADSynth engine.[8]
Music made with ZynAddSubFX[edit]
ZynAddSubFX was featured in the KVR One-Synth-Challenge contest.
In November 2013, unfa released an album that was entirely made with ZynAddSubFX.Slavonic pagan ambient project Svitlo albums were created using zynaddsubfx as synthesizer.
