TranceDrive is a new free software synthesizer for Windows that’s designed specifically for making trance music.

TranceDrives offers supersaw oscillators, “harsh” filters, a trance gate and massive reverb.

Features:

• 3 main oscillators
  • each main oscillator supports 6  waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, saw7, cry
    • the waveform “saw7? is a supersaw with 7 detunable sub oscillators
    • the waveform “cry” is an experimental waveform, it is built up with several hardsynced saws
  • main oscillator 2 has an additional unisono mode, when it is enabled, the whole oscillator triples its voice and the voices can be detuned from each other
  • the oscillators can be chained (osc1 to osc2 and osc2 to osc3) using FM, PM and sync, these 3 options can also be used at the same time
• seperate noise oscillator
• 3 LFOs, each supports 5 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, sample and hold
  • the LFOs can be synchronized to the host tempo or run free at a specific frequency
  • each LFO can control multiple parameters of each OSC, you can even assign several LFOs to the same parameter
  • LFO1 can control the filter cutoff
• 2 Envelope generators (Mod & Amp) with variable shapes
  • the modulation envelope can control multiple parameters of each OSC, and it can also be mixed with the LFOs. Additionally it can control the filter cutoff
• 3 types of filters: lowpass, highpass and bandpass
  • each filter type can be set to 6dB, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB steepness
• 9 effects, and they can be used at the same time: gater, chorus, phaser, flanger, distortion, delay, reverb, equalizer, stereo-effects
• each of the unused parts of the synth is shown with less contrast, so you can focus on the active parts
• the output of the synth can be clipped to avoid overdriving noise. The clipping is done with a soft limiter, that can be used to compress the whole synth sound (just enable clip and turn up the main volume)
