ScanSynth is a synthesizer that employs scanned synthesis, a method that combines physical modeling with digital sound generation to create rich, evolving tones. This approach is centered around a dynamic-string model, which simulates a mass-spring system to produce natural and expressive sound textures. Users can visually interact with the string's behavior directly on the interface, allowing for intuitive control over the instrument's sonic character.

Each voice in ScanSynth features two scanning oscillators that traverse the physical model, shaping the sound in unique ways. Additionally, a chaotic low-frequency oscillator introduces subtle variations and drift, adding depth and complexity to the audio output. This combination results in a lively and organic synthesis experience that stands out from traditional synthesizers.

Designed for musicians and sound designers seeking dynamic and evolving textures, ScanSynth offers a hands-on approach to sound creation through its interactive physical model. Its innovative synthesis engine provides a fresh palette for crafting intricate sounds that can range from smooth pads to more experimental timbres, making it a valuable tool for creative audio production.
