Gamma Wave Audio - Gamma Wave (Synth Plugin) Donationware

Gamma Wave by Gamma Wave Audio is a Virtual Instrument Audio Plugin and a Software Application for macOS and Windows. It functions as a VST 3 Plugin and a Standalone Application.

Gamma Wave isn't just another subtractive synth. It's a texture machine designed to turn static waveforms into living, breathing sonic landscapes. With its "Hearth" saturation engine, granular processing, and the new Flux instability system, Gamma Wave brings the unpredictability of modular hardware to your DAW.

Core Features
- Hybrid Engine: Combines classic analog-style waveforms with granular synthesis.
- Hearth Saturation: A multi-stage distortion unit with 7 unique algorithms: Heat, Inertia, Gravity, Singularity, Photosphere, Flux, Fold.
- Flux Instability: A global macro that drifts pitch, jitters filters, and degrades signal integrity for that "aging hardware" feel.
- Granular FX: Transform simple sounds into evolving textures.
- Mutate: Intelligent randomization for instant patch generation.

The Sounds
Gamma Wave comes with over 200 factory presets tailored for Techno, DnB, and Cinematic scoring:
- Bass (38): 808s, Reeses, Acid, and Sub-bass variants.
