TestBedSynth β

Warning: This plugin is in active development. Breaking changes will be introduced.

• Do not use for production.
• Do not save your project with this plugin.

In other words, always render the result to audio file after using.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome. However, keep in mind that I won't make any promises, as I'm doing this as a hobby.

• Download TestBedSynth 0.0.1 (Google Drive)

See "Installation" section on the link below for how to install.

• "Installation" section on manual

On macOS, the workaround on "Remove Quarantine" part is probably the only one required.

Development Roadmap

High priority tasks.

• Add LFO tempo synchronization.
• Change plugin name.
• Change ad-hoc Distortion function to proper one.
• Tune parameter range.
• Tune Wave Mod. modulation source mixing.

High priority, but have to be done later.

• Test reset behavior.
• Clean up GUI.
• Make presets.
• Write manual.

Low priority, or ideas.

• Add LFO gain envelope.
• Add resonant lowpass filter after oscillator mixing.
• Add AM and Feed LP to modulation matrix.
• Change default LFO waveform.
• Change default Wave Mod. waveform.

Usage Tips and Tricks

Reducing CPU Load

• Reduce Oversampling ratio.
• Reduce Voice.
• Reduce Gain -> Release.

Suppressing Aliasing of Modulation

• Increase Oversampling ratio.
• Reduce Feed LP. 0 is bottom left of XY pad.
• Reduce Acc. PM. 0 is center of XY pad.
• Reduce Im. PM. 0 is center of XY pad.
• Reduce FM. 0 is center of XY pad.

Reset to Default

Ctrl + Mouse Left Drag.

Wave Mod.

Input can be used to receive external modulation source, like envelope generators or LFO provided by DAW.

The unit of delay time is a count of internal wavetable refresh. An internal wavetable refreshes for each 7 ms.

External Input

An external input (Ext.) can control a group of parameters at once. Ext. is intended to be used with external modulation source or DAW automation.

To set which parameters to group, change the knobs in matrix control.

Matrix Control

There are some shortcuts on matrix control.

• d : Reset to default.
• r : Randomize.
• z : Undo. Up to 4 actions.
  • Also try using DAW undo depending on the situation. Some DAW might not be able to undo parameter change.
• 1 : Toggle row mode.
• 2 : Toggle column mode.
• 3 : Toggle link mode.

Copy and paste can be done when row/column mode is activated, .

• c : Copy row/column.
• v : Paste row/column.
