ZynAddSubFX is an open source software synthesizer for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
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.[1] The author of ZynAddSubFX is a Romanian programmer, Nasca Octavian Paul.[2] The project was started in March of 2002[3] and the first public release was version 1.0.0 on September 25, 2002.[4]
A limited Mac OS X version was released by Ben Powers. A windows port as well as a VST implementation is now available as the Sonic Ports project.
Sound Generation
ZynAddSubFX combines several different methods of audio synthesis in order to create sounds: additive synthesis by the ADSynth engine,[5] subtractive synthesis by the SUBSynth engine,[6] and an original algorithm used to generate wavetables in the PADSynth engine.[7]
