Synth with octave + semitones

Post by The_Glass_Olive »

Please don't jump down my throat and flame me, I just want to ask a recommendation from those who know more than me...

Can anybody recommend a free synth vst that has octave and semitone controls for both (or all) oscillators. I have been using synth 1 for a while but it only has detune on one osc. and pitch on another, with no values on each! Purple has limited octaves and no semitones (and I'd prefer only 2 osc. to be honest).

Thanks in advance.

I think Curve from Cableguys has the features you are looking for:

Well it has pitch and detune similar to synth 1, which I'm struggling to manipulate to my taste.

What I want to do is transpose the octaves of the two oscillators but keep them harmonic... using pitch and detune I haven't really got the kind of result I'm looking for - sounds a bit muddy...

Thanks all the same, anymore suggestions? There must be something...

If you can get a copy of Reason, that has the Subtractor which you could rewire into whatever sequencer your using.
