Phasewave, a new phase distortion synthesizer
TubeOhm has released M-Phasewave, a freeware monophonic phase distortion synthesizer VSTi plugin based on the commercial Phasewave virtual instrument by the same developer.
The plugin is free to download and fully functional. The only limitation in comparison to the commercial version is that M-Phasewave is monophonic.

Being a phase distortion synthesizer, sounds similar to the Casio CZ product series which was manufactured in the 80s. The sound is reminiscent of FM synthesizers, although the instrument itself is much easier to program than a full-blown FM synthesizer.
You can use M-Phasewave to synthesize some great sounding electronic bass and lead sounds, as well as cool sounding sound effects. The instrument is delivered with a factory sound bank which contains 64 user presets. Keep in mind though that if you’re familiar with subtractive synthesis, you really shouldn’t have any issues while programming a phase distortion synthesizer such as this one.

The full (polyphonic) version of Phasewave can be purchased for 59€

good to know!

 

Thanks for the info temple.

 

I had a Casio CZ3000 years ago, and it never sounded this good. Thanks for the Heads up

 

I had CZ-1000... it sounded great, I love phase distortion synthesis, but it had noisy outputs, like first DX7. Thankfully we don't have to worry about the noisy outputs any more. Thank you temple23, I'm off to play with it right now!

The installer is a catastrophe, it placed everything in all the wrong places, installed the VSTi twice... not a very promising start. But I do it in a VirtualBox so I don't care about the stupid installer.

It doesn't sound bad.
