DynaSinth Dynamic Sinethesizer (AUv3) DynaSinth is a virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth. Overview DynaSinth is an original design based on sine wave oscillators, that uses its own output to modulate parameters dynamically. This can produce interesting sonic results that would be very difficult, if not impossible to achieve using traditional fixed LFOs and envelopes. That's because: As the sound changes, so does the modulation amount, which changes the sound, which affects the modulation amount... This means DynaSinth is well-suited for atmospheric evolving pad type sounds that quite literally respond dynamically to your playing. However, DynaSinth isn't just about pads. Because of its sine wave DNA, DynaSinth can also produce more traditional sounds such as pianos, flutes, organs, subby basses and even kick drums!
