amsynth is a software synthesizer designed around the classic subtractive synthesis method, offering a straightforward yet powerful sound creation experience. It features dual oscillators capable of generating fundamental waveforms such as sine, saw, square, and noise, allowing for a wide range of tonal possibilities. These oscillators provide the foundation for crafting rich and dynamic sounds suitable for various musical styles.

The synth includes a flexible resonant filter with selectable low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes, available in 12 or 24 dB per octave slopes. Independent ADSR envelopes control both the filter and amplitude, enabling precise shaping of sound dynamics and tonal character. An LFO is also available to modulate oscillator pitch, filter cutoff, and amplitude, adding movement and expression to the patches.

amsynth supports multiple playing modes including mono, legato, and polyphonic, accommodating different performance styles and musical contexts. Additional effects such as distortion and reverb enhance the sound palette, providing warmth and spatial depth. This combination of classic synthesis elements and useful effects makes amsynth a compelling tool for musicians seeking authentic analog-style sounds in a digital environment.
