Product Detail
Sylenth1 is an outstanding virtual analog synthesizer that raises the bar for quality and performance. While only a few software synths have met the sound quality of hardware ones, Sylenth1 stands out. It's crafted from a producer's perspective to create top - notch sound and music. Extensive research has gone into achieving unparalleled warmth and clarity. Its user - friendly graphical interface lets you fully express your creativity.
**Oscillators**: At its heart, Sylenth1 has 4 alias - free unison oscillators generating analog waveforms. Each oscillator can produce 8 unison voices in stereo, totaling 32 voices per note. With 16 - note polyphony, you can play up to 512 voices at once. These oscillators perform well across low and high frequencies, suitable for all sound types.
**Filters**: There are 2 advanced, analog - sounding filter sections. Each has 4 filter stages with nonlinear saturation, emulating real analog filters. The resonance control can go beyond self - oscillation, and combined with the drive control, it makes the filters scream. Unlike cheap - sounding digital filters, these are warm and solid.
**Modulation**: Sylenth offers various modulation options. You can use 2 ADSR envelopes and 2 LFOs to modulate different parameters. Additionally, 2 extra amplitude envelopes, velocity, keyboard track, or the modulation wheel can be used for modulation.
**Master FX**: The synth's master effects section includes 7 professional sound effects and an arpeggiator, neatly grouped on an LCD panel. The arpeggiator has 10 melodic modes and a step sequencer. There are different types of distortion, a phaser, chorus/flanger, equalizer, delay, reverb, and compressor.
**Performance**: Despite its powerful features, Sylenth1 is optimized to minimize CPU usage. It uses efficient code and SSE instructions and can turn off unused parts, allowing you to create high - quality sound with minimal system resources.
**Features**: It has 4 high - quality band - limited unison oscillators, 2 state - of - the - art analog - sounding filters, selectable filter modes, 16 - note polyphony, multiple envelope generators, LFOs, modulation slots, a built - in master effects section, and many more useful features. It also has heavily optimized code, an easy - to - use interface, a preset browser, and is fully MIDI - controllable.
Using Sylenth1 is a breeze. First, start by exploring the preset browser to get a feel for the different sounds it can produce. You can choose from over 2500 presets as a starting point.
To create your own sounds, begin with the oscillators. Adjust the settings to generate the basic waveform you want. You can control the number of unison voices and the stereo spread. Then, move on to the filters. Play around with the resonance and drive controls to add character to your sound. You can make it warm and smooth or make it scream with distortion.
For modulation, use the ADSR envelopes and LFOs to change the sound over time. You can also use other sources like velocity and the modulation wheel to add more dynamics.
In the master effects section, use the arpeggiator to create rhythmic patterns. Adjust the pitch, velocity, and hold settings to suit your needs. The other effects like distortion, phaser, and reverb can be used to enhance your sound further.
When it comes to performance, Sylenth1 is designed to be efficient. However, if you're using a lot of voices and effects, keep an eye on your CPU usage. If it starts to get too high, try turning off any parts that you're not using.
For maintenance, make sure your software is always up - to - date. Lennar Digital often releases updates that can improve performance and add new features. Also, if you're using MIDI controllers, check the connections regularly to ensure smooth operation.
