CetoneSynth

CetoneSynth is a lightweight audio plugin whose purpose is to help you work with a complex virtual analogue synthesizer. It comes with support for four oscillators, seven types of resonant filters, three envelopes, two LFOs (low-frequency oscillation), C64 style arpeggiator, as well as eight modulation slots. You can deploy it on all Windows versions out there and make use of its capabilities, provided that you have a VST host like energyXT or VSTHost installed on the target computer.

The layout looks a bit overwhelming at a first glance, but this is only because CetoneSynth comes packed with a comprehensive package of audio tweaking parameters. A help manual is not embedded in the package so you need to take some time and experiment with the built-in options in order to get an idea about how to make the most out of the audio plugin’s features.

CetoneSynth offers you the possibility to make use of four oscillators that feature support for Saw, Pulse, Triangle, and Sine parameters, as well as C64 style noise waveforms (OSC4 is used as an HFO).

You can alter seven types of resonant filters and make changes to the mode, cutoff, resonance, and parameter. Most of the audio options can be quickly configured with the aid of the integrated knobs.

The amplifier envelope can be used to make changes to the attack, hold, decay, sustain, and release parameters, while the LFOs can be set up in terms of speed, waveform, and pulse/width.

Other important audio parameters worth being mentioned enable you to adjust the glide, arpeggio, and MIDI channels, work with a modulation envelope, as well as tweak up to eight modulation slots.

Tests have pointed out that CetoneSynth carries out tasks quickly and without errors. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected. It provides very good output results.

To sum things up, CetoneSynth proves to be a reliable and advanced VST audio plugin that comes bundled with a powerful suite of configuration settings. It is suitable especially for experienced users.
