Purpose

Syndt is a polyphonic synthesizer designed for extensive sonic exploration. Its core is an XY pad that controls the oscillator waveform, allowing continuous morphing between pure sine and square waves on one axis, while the other adjusts pulse width. This makes it easy to create evolving textures, from soft and mellow to aggressive and raw.

The synth includes two independent mini-LFOs that can modulate the waveform shape and pulse width, adding movement and complexity. A separate, more powerful LFO can target filters, gain, and pitch, with optional host sync for rhythmic modulation. This combination positions Syndt as a tool for both classic and experimental sound creation.

Key capabilities

Syndt features dual filters with resonance: a low-pass and a high-pass filter, each with independent control. The low-pass filter can be velocity-sensitive and has an optional attack time, enabling dynamic filter sweeps and percussive timbres. This adds an expressive layer to the sound.

The main LFO is versatile, with adjustable attack time and the ability to modulate filter cutoff, gain, and pitch. It can be synchronized to an AUv3 host, making it suitable for tempo-locked effects. The synth also includes a legato mode with glide speed control and a configurable pitch bend range, facilitating smooth playability.

Workflow

The workflow centers on the XY pad: move horizontally to alter pulse width, vertically to morph between sine and square waves. Mini-LFOs can be applied per axis, with the option to reset on each new note for consistent patterns. The filters are then used to sculpt the tone.

ADSR envelopes shape the amplitude and filter behavior. The built-in special effects—a ping-pong delay, stereo chorus, and three-band EQ—are available for final polish, with delay and LFO capable of syncing to an AUv3 host. Presets are provided as starting points, and the interface is designed for hands-on tweaking.

Practical applications

Syndt is well-suited for sound design, ambient pads, and rhythmic sequences. Its ability to morph waveforms and modulate filters makes it ideal for creating evolving textures. The velocity-sensitive filter and legato mode support expressive leads and basses.

In a music production context, the syncable LFO and delay are useful for creating tempo-locked arpeggios or rhythmic filter movements. For live performance, the XY pad offers real-time manipulation, while the preset library provides quick access to varied sounds. It’s a flexible tool for producers seeking unique synth tones.

Best for

Syndt is best for producers and sound designers who want a versatile synth for creating everything from ambient pads to raw, evolving leads. Its morphable oscillator and dual filters make it great for experimental soundscapes, while the host-syncable LFO and delay aid rhythmic production. Suitable for in-the-box workflows.
