The year is already over and a Synthesizer plugin developer has made a name for itself, Full Bucket Music. In the last few months he has released a lot of good synths that are free. He has one more encore at the end of the year. He released today an update for Ragnarök, a free Synthesizer that simulates a custom-built one-of-a-kind analog Synthesizer from 1980 with macOS support and other improvements.
Synth Engine
Ragnarök features a unique 3+1 band limited oscillator bank with up to four oscillators per voice and an additional white noise generator. All this is routed to a excellent sounding multi-pole zero-delay feedback filter (6–12–18–24 dB/Oct low-pass or high-pass). In the modulation section, it features two envelopes (ADSR or AD) with exponential slopes and a low frequency oscillator (LFO).
To refine the sound, it comes also with a built-in overdrive effect and a 7 band graphic equalizer. Than you have also a creative feature that allows you to create cool repeat/pseudo arpeggiator sounds. The engine supports up to 64 voices polyphony including portamento and as usual all the parameters are MIDI mappable. Like all other Full Bucket Music plugins, it is written in native C++ code for high performance and low CPU consumption.
Ragnarök is the collaborative work of Hans Peter aka CrimsonWarlock aka TechnoGremlin (synth concept, GUI design, user manual, patch programming) and Björn aka Full Bucket (DSP+GUI+patch programming).
