TAL-NoiseMaker is an improved version of TAL-Elek7ro and has a completely new synth engine and a lot of improvements in sound and usability. The synth also includes a small effect section with a reverb, chorus and a simple bit crusher effect.
A display shows the knob and slider values. This allows more control over the synth. A ringmodulator and a syncable triangle are also part of this synth. TAL-NoiseMaker includes new filter types as the self resonating 6dB low pass and a notch filter. Its improved amplitude ADSR is very suitable for slow pads as for really fast envelopes. 128 factory presets included, 80 made by Frank "Xenox" Neumann / Particular - Sound.

Properties and tutorial:
3 Oscillators
Osc 1, +- 24 semitones, fine tune, phase control (saw, pulse, noise).
Osc 2, +- 24 semitones, fine tune, phase control (saw, rectangle, triangle, sine).
Sub Osc (rectangle).
Osc 1 PM for pulse waveform.
Osc 2 FM controled by Osc 1.
Osc 1 & Osc 2 sync to sub osc (saw, pulse, rectangle, triangle(bipolar sync)).
Adjustable master tune and transpose.
Up to 6 voices.
Portamento in mono and poly mode (off, auto, on).
Ringmod modulates Osc 1 with Osc 2
Self resonating 4x oversampled filters (24 dB LP, 18 dB LP, 12 dB LP, 6 dB LP, 12 dB HP, 12 dB BP, Notch)
Filter ADSR (negative and positive)
Volume ADSR
Routable ADSR, modulates Filter, Osc 1, Osc 2, PW, FM (negative and positive)
2 LFO's with different running modes: free, sync to host, triggered by note.
Modulates filter, osc 1, osc 2, fm, pw, lfo rate, panorama and volume.
Sine, triangle, saw square, s&h, noise.
Positive and negative modulation.
Phase control.
Adjustable Velocity dependent control over volume filtercontour and cutoff.
Adjustable Pitch Wheel control over Cutoff and Pitch.
One pole HP filter.

i really need to check their website more often, their stuff is insanely good. Thanks for sharing!

[Ingemar]

ok, on the downside they are a bit cpu-heavy, but I always find it worth it!

[Opuswerk]

yeah they do put a bit of strain on the cpu. but they do sound very good to my ears, especially at thigher sampling rates...
I had never realised until recently how much smoother an envelope can be at 88200 or higher...

[ThisWayUp]

Thanks for this. Not come across these before.

[Opuswerk]

Most of their other stuff is very good too. I'm a big fan of the dub delay and the reverb which has its own character...

[Raddler]

wow!! it does sound great . Thanx alot. It was actually voted the number one free synth by music radar.

yeah this truly was pretty good, really liked the layout of it..easy to use!

but the filter on the synth is pretty weak sounding..is it somehow complicated to build good sounding filter for software?
