Project Description

amsynth is a software synth that provides a classic subtractive synthesizer topology, with

• Dual oscillators with classic waveforms - sine / saw / square / noise
• 24 dB/oct low-pass resonant filter
• Independent ADSR envelopes for filter & amplitude
• LFO which can module the oscillators, filter, and amplitude
• Distortion effect
• Reverb

Currently it runs as a stand-alone application on Linux, supporting OSS, ALSA and JACK for Audio / MIDI I/O.

It is also available as a DSSI and LV2 (Git version only) plug-in.
