BILL HOLLAND: Welcome back to Gearwire.Com. My name is Bill Holland, and we are looking a plugin that you can actually get for free off the Max web site. It’s part of their Pluggo package that works with Pluggo run time. It’s called the QSynth.
If you look here...,
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
You can design three different oscillators. We have a separate LFO and you can assign waveforms to the LFO itself.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
We also have time scale control.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
Each of these individually has a separate filter...,
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
...modulation envelope control as well.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
We have different points for attack, decay, sustain, and release. So, if you want to make a fast attack on all these oscillators, take these points up.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
The release on here is pretty extreme even when it’s not all the way out so you have to rein that in a little bit.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
Notice that as we get up all the way up here, we get a much angrier-sounding synthesizer.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
So, we can subdue that a little bit. If you go up here, they have various presets already created, some named after the planets.

We also have a variety of interesting ones like Asteroid Belt here.

Now, one thing else to note is that you can select whether you are controlling gain envelope or the frequency envelope, so like the gain envelope for example I can completely have this often come in right away or I can make it slowly come in with a slow attack.

And again, each individual one of these can have the cutoff and resonance adjusted however you want.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
And again, this controls the amount of modulation.
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
And you can also change how the LFO reacts. Right now, we have it set as a square wave. We can also use it as a saw wave...,
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
...triangle wave...,
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
...and you can also change up again the overall wave of the oscillators...,
[BILL HOLLAND PERFORMING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE CYCLING ’74 PLUGGO QSYNTH]
...even noise.
