Free VST 2 Synthesizer Plug-in for Windows
SodaSynth is a synthesizer plug-in designed to give artists clean sounds that fit easily into tracks.
Starting with an ensemble of oscillators, SodaSynth smoothly adds or subtracts harmonics while modulating the frequencies of these new components in novel ways. The results are mellow harmonies that sound familiar, yet can morph in new ways.
Synthesizers with heavy effects ("wet") can be both difficult to work into a mix and discourage further sound design.
Rather than imposing a characteristic sound on artists, we wanted to create a unique, "dry" sounding synth for artists to shape with their own choice of effects. SodaSynth makes it easier for you to create and use the sounds you want rather than the sounds that some company wants you to use, so you can find your own truly unique signature sound.
We wrote some short songs to demonstrate some of the sounds SodaSynth can produce.
This first demo was produced using the built-in synthesizer presets that come with SodaSynth without any 3rd party effects. (Drums were sample-based.)
SodaSynth Demo 2 (No Effects)Then, we took this track and added some additional flavour using the chorus, delay, and compressor effects built into our favorite DAW:
SodaSynth Demo 2 (With Effects)Because SodaSynth is dry, it's easy to layer many instances of it and apply subtle effects without it turning your mix into mud.
Note: The Mac OS X VST and AU plugin version were discontinued as of August 2019.
