U-HE’s goal with Diva was not to replicate a single synth, but rather to create modules so we can choose our own oscillators, filters, and envelopes and piece them together ourselves. If you were allowed just one VST to produce all of your synthwave tracks with, this should be it. The crew at U-HE have gone to great lengths to meticulously replicate every facet of all our old favorite synths into a ‘ one plugin to rule them all’ package. Arturia V Collection 8 (Premium Option)įor many of us, Diva is the only virtual analog synth you need.Here are our picks for the best synths, drum machines, and FX for synthwave production:

Whether you’re just new to synthwave music as a genre, or new to production in general, the sheer volume of plugins out there can seem overwhelming.īack in the 80s you’d be required to buy some bulky hardware with a hefty price tag to get those lush analog synth sounds.įortunately today that barrier to entry has been lowered so much that anyone can try their hand at synthwave production with nothing but a DAW and some free plugins. (For a deeper look at synthwave as a genre, check out Vaporwave Vs Synthwave (What’s The Difference?)) What Are The Best Plugins to Produce Synthwave Music? That is why today we’ve rounded up our best synthwave VSTs, both free and paid, that will aid your neon-lit journey as a synthwave producer. So, as the genre has exploded over the last decade, many people understandably want to try their hand at producing synthwave themselves, but don’t know where to start.

Plus FX plugins to improve your synth tonesįor those of us who grew up in the 80s, synthwave extracts everything we loved from our childhoods and updates it with modern touches.

Including 3 drum machines for powerful beats.

Included are some presets that run through the capabilities of the plug-in. This plug-in has the capability to easily reproduce this mod, by adjusting only a few parameters. Many users of the Boss OC-2 pedal seek to add a hardware modification that disables the output filter and dynamics sections in order to produce a more synth-like tone. 'Listen' radio buttons allow the user to tap the audio at any stage to hear what's happening behind the scenes, and bypass certain sections if desired.

Includes a 'Scope Tuning' control to affect the zoom ratio.

In phase-multiplier mode, the full dynamics of the key signal are retained.Ī DC-offset switch corrects the input signal to improve tracking on rectified or offset signals.Ī scope displays both the key signal and the output signal, so the user can see how the plug-in is operating, and help identify what controls need to be adjusted in order to track more accurately or produce the intended sound. In additive mode, dynamics for the oscillators can be controlled either by a noise gate or an envelope follower, both keyed off the input signal. The additive mode simply mixes in the octave down signals (via user-adjustable levels and wet/dry balance), whereas the phase-multiplier mode flips the phase of the key signal, following the state of the selected oscillator. Option for two modes of operation: additive oscillators or phase-multiplier.

If you have Pro Tools 10 co-installed and (32-bit) BlueCat PatchWork, or similar, you could download the free VST-32:Ĭontrols to all the typically fixed values for low-pass filters - both on oscillator outputs (changes tone from full square wave to pure sine, or anywhere in between) as well as on the detection circuit (which can fine-tune the accuracy of the octave-divider's tracking). I'm trying to find a good octaver plugin, ideally a free one, for my PT 12.5 on iMac.
