The new Fluoresynth works on your Mac and your browser, name your price
Fluoresynth uses “mathematically precise harmonics” to offer a pretty smooth sounding poly if you ask me. It is a basic synth but it also works in your browser! It is also available in AU/VST format for Logic Pro X and other major DAWs. The Name Your Price option sounds pretty good. There is a minimum of $5 here, but if you like what you can come up with in the browser version, I might consider throwing down a little bit more.
The Fluoresynth synthesizer uses the harmonic series to create pitched musical tones. This series also determines the sounds of string, brass, and woodwind instruments….Unlike traditional instruments, you can customize Fluoresynth’s harmonics as you play it…Fluoresynth’s harmonic series consists of a fundamental tone and 12 overtones. The relationship between the fundamental and its overtones determines the sound’s brightness and warmth.
