ZynAddSubFX (also now called Zyn-Fusion) is a free and open-source software synthesizer for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. Version 3's new user interface was initially released under proprietary terms, but is now open source (though prebuilt binaries are still sold to fund development).[1]
For sound generation it has three hybrid synth engines that combine additive, subtractive, Fourier and other synthesis methods. No external samples are used to produce the sound; everything is done by synthesis. The synthesizer has effects like reverberation, echo, chorus, distortion, equalization and others, and supports microtonal tunings.[2]_Microtuning_Features_Updated-3|[3]
The original author of ZynAddSubFX is Romanian programmer Nasca Octavian Paul.[4][5] The project was started in March 2002[2] and the first public version (1.0.0) was released on September 25, 2002.[6] Since 2009, the new maintainer is Mark McCurry.[7]
Sound generation
ZynAddSubFX combines several different methods of audio synthesis in order to create sounds: additive synthesis by the ADSynth engine,[2] subtractive synthesis by the SUBSynth engine,[2] and an original algorithm used to generate wavetables in the PADSynth engine.[8]
Music made with ZynAddSubFX
ZynAddSubFX was featured in the KVR One-Synth-Challenge contest.
In November 2013, Unfa released an album that was entirely made with ZynAddSubFX. Slavonic pagan ambient project Svitlo albums were created using ZynAddSubFX as synthesizer.
