MEDDLE – Feature-Rich Free Synthesizer by BK SynthLab
Introducing MEDDLE – a free VST synthesizer by BK SynthLab, based on the functionality of the MEDDLE-II version. This plugin offers a significant set of tools for creating diverse sounds, from classic synthesizer timbres to complex textures. MEDDLE will be a valuable addition to your plugin collection, offering depth and flexibility often unavailable in free instruments. It is suitable for both creating music in various genres and experimenting with sound design.
Sound Generation and Oscillators
The sound foundation of MEDDLE is two oscillators with access to 63 waveforms each. This provides a huge palette of source timbres. An important function is the morphing of waveforms, controlled by envelopes (ENV) or low-frequency oscillators (LFOs). This allows you to create moving, changing sounds that add dynamics to your tracks.
Key Creative Features
MEDDLE stands out with unique tools that expand creative possibilities:
- Programmable Sequencer: A 32-step sequencer for creating melodic and rhythmic patterns. Each step has independent on/off and precise pitch adjustment (-36/+36 semitones). Great for arpeggios and sequences.
- Programmable Chord: Allows you to easily form chords up to 6 voices, simplifying the creation of harmonic structures.
- Unison: 6-voice unison at the oscillator level with control over detuning, waveforms, and volume of each voice. Perfect for fat leads and pads.
- Filters: Two independent filters for detailed timbre shaping after the oscillators.
Modulation and Control
MEDDLE provides extensive possibilities for dynamic sound control. Six ADSR envelopes are available for controlling various parameters. Four LFOs create cyclical changes. The Vector Mod function allows you to mix signals from four LFOs, opening space for complex modulation schemes.
Built-in Effects
The plugin has a built-in effects block for final processing. Includes chorus and delay effects, allowing you to add space, movement, and depth without using external plugins. The chorus expands the stereo base, and the delay creates echo effects.
Operating Modes and Compatibility
MEDDLE is a stereo synthesizer that supports Mono and Poly modes. It is implemented in VST format and is compatible with the Windows operating system (Win32). Despite its “free” status, MEDDLE offers a significant set of features, making it a powerful tool for musicians and producers. Try MEDDLE to expand your sound capabilities!
