Oxo Synth2

By Oxo Music

Free open-source reimplementation of the Synth1 subtractive synthesizer with Synth1 patch-bank import, a 32-voice engine and support for macOS and iPad.

What it does

Oxo Synth2 recreates the Synth1-style oscillator, filter, modulation and effect architecture, adds MIDI Learn and interface themes, and imports existing .sy1 patches and zip banks. It is designed as a freely available instrument rather than a time-limited promotion.
