PX1 FM Synth vs LogSynth

PX1 is a dual-engine FM synthesizer inspired by the classic 6-operator digital synths of the 1980s. Each engine features six operators, 32 algorithms, and full envelope control — giving you everything from glassy electric pianos and punchy basses to evolving pads and metallic bells. What makes PX1 special is the dual-engine architecture. Two completely independent FM voices run side by side. Copy one engine to the other, make subtle changes, then use the Spread control to place them across the stereo field. The result is a lush, wide sound that a single FM engine simply cannot produce. FEATURES • Two independent 6-operator FM engines • 32 classic FM algorithms • Per-operator envelopes (4 rates + 4 levels) • Per-operator pan for detailed stereo placement • Five macro knobs — Brightness, Touch, Attack, Decay, Spread • Copy/Paste between engines for instant layering • Random patch generator exploring the classic FM sound palette • Built-in reverb (Size, Damp, Amount) • Mono, Legato, and Portamento modes • LFO with triangle, saw, square, and random waveforms • Pitch bend range and transpose controls • Key velocity sensitivity per operator • Keyboard rate scaling and level scaling • Operator Key Sync on/off for consistent or organic attacks AUv3 PLUGIN PX1 works as a standalone instrument and as an Audio Unit v3 plugin. Load it directly inside GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, or any AUv3-compatible host. Full parameter automation is supported — record knob movements in your DAW and play them back. DESIGNED FOR MUSICIANS The interface stays close to the original FM programming model that experienced synthesists know, while macro controls make it approachable for anyone. Turn one knob and shape the entire sound; dive into individual operators when you want surgical control.

LogSynth is a polyphonic virtual-analog synthesizer built for people who care what's actually happening in the signal path, not just what the preset browser looks like. Every voice runs five anti-aliased oscillators (sine, triangle, saw, pulse with PWM, and a band-limited impulse train) plus a dedicated sub-oscillator and noise source, mixed per-voice with independent amp envelopes. Chunky oscillators, crisp effects and a zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter — switchable low/high/bandpass. The drive effect is powered by a physically modeled diode circuit, numerically integrated rather than a lookup-table approximation, so pushing it into saturation behaves the way an actual analog drive would. FEATURES - 8-voice polyphony, 5 oscillators + sub + noise per voice - Zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter with resonant feedback and diode drive saturation - 5 independent oscillator envelopes plus a dedicated filter envelope - 2 assignable LFOs and an 8-slot modulation matrix - Built-in chorus, delay, FDN reverb, and 4-mode distortion - 41 factory presets across Bass, Lead, Pluck, and Effects - One-tap patch randomizer with adjustable intensity - Real-time oscilloscope, on-screen keyboard, and CoreMIDI input - Runs standalone or as an AUv3 instrument inside AU hosts Whether you're sound designing from scratch or dropping it into a DAW as a plugin, Logsynth gives you the same engine everywhere — no watered-down mobile version, no feature gating between standalone and plugin modes.
