hacksynth

Synthesizer Project of Lian Studer & Kris Huber for [yth22]

Note

As of now this synth only takes input from MIDI Devices. Meaning you need to connect a MIDI Keyboard to play notes.

Features

• Graphical User Interface
• Velocity-Sensitive MIDI Keyboard Input – Responds to touch dynamics for expressive playing.
• Dual Oscillators with Selectable Waveforms:
  • Sine
  • Triangle
  • Sawtooth
  • Square
• Two Low-Pass Filters – Shape your sound.
• Independent ADSR Envelopes per Oscillator – Fine-tune attack, decay, sustain, and release settings individually.
• Detune Control – Adjust pitch variations for a richer, wider sound.
