Before starting with a new Soft synth project for Linux I decided to track what kind of synthesizers are already out there available. I focused on LV2 plugins, since LV2 is the plugin standard I want to use. LADSPA is outdated and DSSI doesn’t seem to be as widely used as LV2.

With the aim to provide a clear separation between the synthesis engine, the LV2 integration and the GUI I focused also on architectural aspects.

So here is a list of LV2 soft synths for Linux in no particular order.

Calf plugins

Calf plugins provides a set of plugins available as LV2, including a flanger, an organ synth, a phaser, a reverb, some filters, a chorus and a rotary speaker simulator.

The Calf Monosynth is a monophonic subtractive soft synth.

Calf Organ

The Calf Organ is a mixture of a traditional drawbar organ and a subtractive synth.

The Calf Fluidsynth is a frontend for the Fluidsynth Sampler engine.

foo-yc20

The YC-20 is a divide-down combo organ designed in the late 60’s. The foo-yc20 emulation faithfully copies the features, sounds and flaws of the original organ.

The Newtonator is a LV2 soft synth that produces some unpredictable sounds.

LinuxSampler

The LinuxSampler is a streaming capable open source pure software audio sampler with professional grade features.

Minaton

The Minaton is a fat sounding mono subtractive software synthesizer.

This list has been assembled from the contents of the following two webpages:

Summary

Download python 3 mac os. Here is also an overview of the used programming languages and GUI toolkits in each plugin:

From this overview can be seen that most of the GUI-less plugins have been written in C++, whereas the plugins with GUIs have been mostly written in C++. GTK+ is prefered over Qt and FLTK as a GUI toolkit.

Popular Non-LV2 synths

As the LV2 plugin is still quite new, there are lots of great established soft synth projects that are not available in LV2 format.

Here are some of the more popular options:

Surge is a digital synth and makes no bones about it.

If you have used it in the past, it will be like welcoming an old friend back into your life. If you are new to Surge, welcome to the party. Come on in, the water is fine.

Thanks to the generosity of @Kurasu (owner of Vember Audio), Surge has been open sourced and lives on GitHub.

SYNTH SPECIFICATIONS

Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid

Each patch contain two ‘scenes’ which are separate instances of the entire synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layering or split patches.

FACTORY SOUNDS

Linux Vst Plugins Free

• 1725 patches
• 523 wavetables

OSCILLATORS

• 3 oscillators per scene.
• 8 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sine, Wavetable, Window, FM2, FM3, S&H Noise and Audio Input.
• Classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dual saw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and hard sync.
• FM2/FM3 oscillators consist of a carrier and 2 or 3 modulators and various options.
• Most algorithms (except FM2, FM3 and Audio input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
• Oscillator FM and ring modulation between oscillators 1-2 and 2-3.
• Most oscillator algorithms (except FM2, FM3 and Sine) are strictly band-limited, yet still cover the entire audible spectrum, delivering a clear punchy yet clean sound.
• Noise generator with variable spectrum.

FILTER BLOCK

• Two filter units in 8 different configurations.
• Feedback loop available in 7 of those configurations.
• Available filter algorithms: Lowpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Lowpass 24 dB/oct (3 variations), Ladder Lowpass (6-24 dB/oct), Highpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Bandpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Notch (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 2 variations), Comb (4 variations), S&H.
• Filters can self-oscillate (with excitation) and respond amazingly fast to cutoff frequency changes.
• Waveshaper (5 shapes).

EFFECTS

• 8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts per scene, 2 sends and 2 master effects.
• 13 effect algorithms:
• EQ, Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo image control and limiter), Frequency Shifter, Rotary Speaker, Ring Modulator, Vocoder, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay, Reverb 1, Reverb 2
