The filters include emulations of Moog’s classic Ladder filter, Oberheim’s smooth low-pass filter and the aggressive Korg 35 filter found on the MS-20. The 24-voice VST3 plug-in is still in beta but features 11 oscillators, over 30 different waveforms and 12 different filters. Reason’s legendary wavetable synth, Thor, gets the freeware treatment from WaveWarden with Odin 2. We’ll be bringing you some tutorials on how to use Surge very soon, too! Surge has some built-in effects, including a reverb based on all-pass filters and delays, a flanger with extreme tuning and feedback options, and Rotary Speaker, which models the iconic Leslie Rotary cabinet. Each patch is split into two Scenes for layering up different textures.
The subtractive hybrid synth features three oscillators per voice with eight oscillator algorithms plus oscillator FM/ring modulation to quickly mutate your sounds. Used by the likes of Roger Linn, Surge is a free, open-source software synth that was, until 2019, a paid product. It’s also just recently been updated to version 2. With help from some other free plug-ins, you can quickly create a vast palette of impressive sounds. The dual-oscillator plug-in features some modern additions to expand on the sound-shaping possibilities of the original, including a continuously blendable multimode filter. OB-Xd from discoDSP’s is a faithful reproduction of the rich-sounding synth, implementing randomised micro-tuning to achieve similar tones. The OB-X was a fat and warm-sounding 80s hardware polysynth that barged its way to prominence with the help of Jean-Michel Jarre, Herbie Hancock, Van Halen and Queen – among plenty other artists.
