Suggestions for free low DSP usage synths (Luna II)

sodiumcycle · Post by **sodiumcycle** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 3:26 am

I have been using the Zarg Comb Free and I think it is pretty amazing. I can get 4 instances (1 voice each) with a few eqs on my 3 dsp card. Does anyone have any other suggestions for good free low dsp synths?

As an aside, after listening to the demos for the full Zarg synths I can say they seem to have no equals in the hardware world (but they are too dsp hungry for a luna card.) I will definitely be getting the ambient or the darkstar when I get more dsps.

Check out the FM4. Its free and very DSP light.

hi
I did record to wavefiles one synth at a time when i had 3DSP's. That way you can use almost every synth. Look at this forumdevices - you might find a lot there.

My Freq Monster (a VA-FM synth) and U Flo (a UKnow-based synth) are pretty light in DSP usage. They're here on the devices page.

i was going to say Sonic Attack!!! There's also some extra presets from myself, Michu and others (including the factory patches) here

Thanks everyone. These other synths will be very useful to me.

I'd say Wavelength's Inferno & Bluesynth are quite low on DSP usage. We've got a LunaII card in a secondary machine which can run Inferno, BlueSynth, a Masterverb, an STM 1632 & 14 various I/O modules with a little DSP spare

Argh, i just tried Sonic Attack in 4.5 and it crashes my SCOPE! Anyone else have this problem?
