MechanOdd is a polyphonic physical-modelling synthesizer plugin (VST3/AU) built with JUCE. It synthesizes sound by exciting simulated mechanical resonators (strings, plates, membranes, and beams) and routing the results through a feedback matrix, effects chains, and a modulation engine.

CONCEPT
MechanOdd is built around the idea that interesting timbres arise from the interaction between excitation signals and resonant structures, rather than from either alone.

A typical path through the synth:

Sources generate raw signals (noise bursts, wavetable oscillators, crackling textures).
Resonators shape those signals using models of physical objects: a vibrating string, a struck plate, a drum membrane, a stiff beam.
A feedback matrix lets resonators feed back into each other and into the sources, creating coupled systems with complex emergent behaviour.
Effects polish the result (reverb, delay, EQ, saturation, cabinet simulation).
A modulation engine (LFOs + per-voice ADSRs) animates any parameter over time.
The synth is fully polyphonic (up to 8 voices). Each voice runs its own set of sources, per-voice resonators, and a modulation engine. A second tier of global resonators receives the summed output of all voices and processes it once per audio block, suitable for room-scale resonances shared across notes.

User Interface
Sources
Four source slots (coloured orange, gold, rose, magenta) generate the excitation signals. Each slot can be independently tuned and shaped. Typical source types:
Wavetable: band-limited oscillator reading a stored waveform cycle.
Noise: spectrally shaped random signal, useful as a bow or breath approximation.
Cracks: sparse impulse train imitating plectrum picks or percussion strikes.
Sources feed into the columns of the feedback matrix.

Resonators
Four resonator slots (coloured teal, azure, lime, violet) model the physical structure being “played.” Each slot independently selects a resonator type and its associated parameters.
Resonators can run in two modes:

Per-voice: each polyphonic voice gets its own independent resonator instance, tuned to the note’s pitch.
Global: a single instance shared across all voices, processed once per audio block.

Feedback Matrix
A 4×9 routing grid. Each cell is a bipolar gain knob (centre = mute, edges = ±maximum gain):
Columns 1–4 carry the four source signals.
Columns 5–8 carry the four resonator outputs (fed back with a one-block delay).
Column 9 carries the processed send-bus output, fed back with a one-block delay (the re-entrant send chain).
Rows 1–4 feed the four resonators.
Each row also has a level, pan, and send control. The send bus routes signal into the Bus Effect Chain, whose output is both folded into the master mix and fed back into column 9 of the matrix.

Warning

Watch your output level when tweaking the matrix. Because multiple gain paths sum at the mix stage, the combined signal can peak well above 0 dBFS before it reaches the Master chain — even if individual cells appear modest. This is especially true when resonator-feedback columns (5–8) or the send-bus column (9) carry appreciable signal, as they form re-entrant loops that multiply on every block. Start with all cells near centre (muted) and raise gains gradually while watching the VU meter. Placing a Limiter as the last slot in the Master chain is strongly recommended as a safety ceiling whenever exploring high-gain or self-oscillating settings.

Effects
Two serial effect chains of four slots each:
Chain Purpose
Bus Applied to the send signal accumulated from all voices and resonators. Its output also re-enters the feedback matrix (column 9), forming a re-entrant effect loop
Master Applied to the final stereo mix, after the bus chain
Available effects per slot: Delay, Tube saturation, EQ, Octaver, Compressor, Limiter/maximizer, Transient shaper, Cabinet IR, Convolution Reverb.

Modulation
Twelve global modulators, each targeting any float parameter in the plugin. Two types:
LFO: continuously oscillating; selectable shape (Sine, Triangle, Square, Saw Up, Saw Down); rate in Hz or tempo-synced to host (1/1 down to 1/16T).
ADSR: triggered by MIDI note gates; global gate rises on the first note after silence, falls on the last note release.
Per-voice ADSRs mirror the global ADSR modulators but track individual note gates, so each voice can have independent envelope shapes even on the same target parameter.

PhizmOsc is a 2-Oscillator Transwave Synthesizer loosely modelled after (or rather, inspired by) the Ensoniq Fizmo Hardware Synthesizer.

PhizmOsc is NOT an emulation of the Fizmo, but is capable of generating very similar sounds as the Fizmo’s Transwaves / Wavetables are included in the download as .wav files. Other, arguably better emulations of the Fizmo like Echograin’s Tranzwave (A really great emulation, highly recommended) or Puremagnetik’s Waveframe (only for Ableton) use them too, so I hope it is fine to include them. I obtained the wavetables from nilamox.com, which were originally .vitaltable files, and converted them to .wav files myself.

Even though I own the above two Fizmo emulations which are really good, I wanted a standalone .vst3 version to play around with and wanted to give a free alternative to the community. If you have the money, please purchase one of the great synths linked above from Echograin or Puremagnetik, I am not affiliated in any way with either of them.

What PhizmOsc offers

PhizmOsc is a dual oscillator transwave synthesizer. Each oscillator morphs through its transwave at a rate and trajectory the user can design visually in a sound evolution envelope. The two oscillators share a single scan clock but can follow completely different curve shapes, so their timbres evolve in lockstep but may diverge in character. A single cycle through the evolution pattern can last to anywhere from 0.1 seconds to 100 seconds, perfect for slowly evolving pads.

Please Note: The transwaves are not directly build-in into the synthesizer. Make sure to save them into a directory of your choice and always load them from there. When you load a preset, the synths expects the transwave .wav files to be at the same location from where you accessed them when saving the preset. Preset loading may fail if the directory changed, however you can always reconstruct the name of the wavetable from opening the .phism preset files using a text editor, which saves the absolute path to the presets.

The oscillator is the focus of PhizmOsc. Other characteristics that make up the Fizmo or other great synthesizers, like the Fizmo’s extensive FX section, are not included besides a simple Chorus and Reverb. For many more free effects, feel free to have a look around my other VSTs!

Included in the download is the vst3 and a standalone .exe program of PhizmOsc, both for Windows, and the Source Code for JUCE so you can compile it yourself for Mac or Linux (I do not own either of these systems, so I can’t provide builds for these platforms, however CutUpMusic kindly offers many of my plugins for Mac).

PhizmOsc was in large parts coded with Claude.ai, specifically the free Sonnet 4.6 model.

Deep Evolving Pad Synth. Elysa Morph is a musical evolving pad/texture synthesizer designed for long, expressive, cinematic tones. It combines analog-style warmth, wavetable/granular detail, and spacious stereo movement in a single instrument.

Its core philosophy is simple: hide technical complexity, keep creativity immediate. Most advanced routing is intentionally under the hood, so you can shape rich sounds quickly without juggling dozens of controls. Instead of managing around 70+ parameters directly, you work through a streamlined macro workflow that stays clear, fast, and performance-ready.

Behind that minimal surface is a deep architecture with multi-engine synthesis, layered modulation, multi-stage filtering, and spatial FX. The result is an instrument that feels effortless to use, yet delivers complex, evolving sound design.

Feature Highlights:
– Dual character modes: ELYSA and WAELAR
– 3-engine architecture with deep synthesis behaviors
– 3 LFOs, 3 random modulators, and 3 ADSR envelope layers
– 3-stage filter structure for tonal sculpting and movement
– Built-in chorus/ensemble/dimension, delay, and reverb space design
– Macro-first workflow for fast, musical control
– Hidden advanced depth for complex internal motion
– 99 factory presets focused on evolving, musical pad textures

Cinematic Pad Synthesizer. Aether Drift is a cinematic pad instrument built around a simple idea: a visually elegant, macro-driven interface on the surface, with a far deeper evolving synthesis engine underneath. It is designed so the user shapes complete pad worlds, not individual technical parameters.

Rather than presenting a traditional synth panel full of oscillators, routings and modulation pages, Aether Drift hides that complexity inside the engine. The result is a workflow that stays immediate and musical, while still delivering rich, layered and evolving pad textures.

Features:
– Dual-oscillator pad body with wave morphing and unison width
– Macro-driven interface with Aether and Drift orbs for sound shaping
– Hidden layers for warmth, shimmer, harmonic glow, and evolving depth
– Integrated spatial effects including chorus, ensemble, dimension, and reverb
– Preset generation and mutation with Inspire and Evolve functions
– Visual feedback display (Vision Core) reflecting sound energy and motion
– Macro controls for tone, motion, depth, width, space, air, warmth, glow, and sparkle
