Free Commodore 64 Synth (Windows only)

De La Mancha created Basic 64: a free software synth inspired by the 8-bit sounds of the classic Commodore 64. It's available as a free VST download for Windows. No Mac version, so I haven't tried it yet... but if you do, feel free to comment! Read on for details.




Features include:
  • 6, 8, or 16 bit sound quality
  • 3 oscillators, with individual ADSR envelopes
  • Oscillators can be sync'd and ring-modulated by each other
  • Pitch envelope modulation
  • Pitch wobble option
  • 2 tempo-sync LFOs to modulate pitch, cut-off and pulse width
  • LFOs have attack/release curves
  • Tempo-sync arpeggiator
  • Flexible routing to state variable filter (LP, HP, BP)
  • Envelopes can be reset or continuous at retrigger
  • Monophonic / polyphonic option
  • MIDI learn / MIDI CC support
  • 128 presets by sinkmusic & WhiskeyPriest
