Phizmo is a transwave / wavetable synthesizer inspired by the Ensoniq Fizmo. It closely emulates its behaviour, but is not a 1:1 clone. Phizmo scans through multi‑cycle wavetables (“transwaves”) along editable evolution curves, with two oscillators per voice, a full modulation set, an arpeggiator, per-voice insert effects and global reverb, and a set of
real‑time performance macros.

Phizmo looks for its content in your Documents folder. Create this structure and copy the files in as described in the download.

Presets in Documents/Phizmo/Presets show up in the LOAD browser and are where SAVE writes to.
Wavetables in Documents/Phizmo/Wavetables appear in the per‑oscillator LOAD menu (the little LOAD button inside each wavetable viewer). Presets already embed the wavetables they use, so a preset will load its sound even if the loose .wav isn’t installed, but you need the Wavetables folder if you want to load tables into oscillators yourself. You can also simply drag‑and‑drop a .wav straight onto a wavetable viewer, same for presets.

Voice vs. Oscillator (the core concept)

Phizmo has two levels of sounds, and the panel is labelled to make the scope of every control clear.

Voice (4 of them – the EDIT / ON VOICE row, top‑left)
A Voice is a complete layer/patch with its own keyboard zone. You can stack or split up to four Voices across the keyboard to build a single
sound. Each Voice has its own LOW KEY / HIGH KEY range, its own level, and its own full parameter set. (Internally the code calls a Voice a “Sound.”)

Oscillator (2 per Voice – the EDIT / ON OSC row)
Inside every Voice are two oscillators, OSC 1 and OSC 2. Each has its own transwave, evolution curve, tuning, pan, level and wave settings. Ring modulation and the A/B mix combine them.

So the full layout is 4 Voices × 2 Oscillators = up to 8 Transwaves playing simultaneously.

Every section title shows what it affects: GLOBAL, PER VOICE, OR PER OSCILLATOR.

EDIT buttons (1–4 for voices, OSC 1 / OSC 2 for oscillators) choose what the panel is editing right now. They don’t change the sound, they change what the knobs point at. ON buttons switch a Voice or an Oscillator in or out of the sound.

Transwaves & evolution (how the sound moves)

Each oscillator plays a transwave: a wavetable made of many single‑cycle frames. Instead of a static waveform, Phizmo scans through the frames
over time, which is what gives it its living, morphing character besides the unique tonal character of the transwaves themselves.

The evolution editor (the big graph under each wavetable viewer) is the path the scan follows. Draw the curve, or use FLAT / RAMP / STEP presets. EVO sets how fast the scan moves; SCAN sets the direction/style (forward, backward, ping‑pong, one‑shot…). The moving dot on the curve is the live playhead. STEP mode jumps frame‑to‑frame.

Credits

The whole concept of Transwaves and the design idea belongs to Ensoniq. The transwave wavetables and the preset names as well.

The code, the DSP engine, the GUI, the preset/wavetable system and all the fixes along the way, was written by Claude Opus 4.8, the AI by Anthropic, working from my direction across a series of conversations.

TetraOP is a wavetable synth with four oscillators, FM, Unison, ring modulation and more.
My first attempt at a wavetable synthesizer, it is based of Ableton Operator and combines four wavetable oscillators with phase and ring modulation. Its built using Gin and Juce.

Overall it’s a well executed synth with good performance and SIMD across voices, it doesn’t have however wavetable editor or a great filter section or a preset browser etc, due to FM not playing well with wavetables I am not sure I’ll be adding new features either.

Features
Wavetable based synthesis
4 operators with FM and RM routing
10 predefined FM layouts
FM and RM routing matrix
16 Unison voices per operator
5 Unison modes
8 Phase distortion modes
2 Filters with 5 types and 4 modes each
Drag-and-drop modulation system
Envelopes, LFOs, Macros and other modulation sources

Transform Images into Sound with Differrent Sonic Possibilities

Introducing Dynamic Image Wavetable Synthesizer, a plugin that turns any image into a playable wavetable instrument. By simply dragging and dropping an image onto the plugin’s interface, you can generate wavetables dynamically, opening up a world of experimental and evolving sounds.

Key Features

1. Dynamic Wavetable Generation from Images

– Horizontal Scan Mode: Converts each horizontal line of the image into a wavetable, allowing for sharp edge waves
– Circular Scan Mode: Reads pixels in a circular path, creating seamless, smooth continuous type waveforms

2. Advanced Image Manipulation (Affine Transformations)

– Zoom, Rotate, Translate, and Skew the image in real-time to morph the wavetable structure.
– Pixel Interpolation Modes (Nearest Neighbor, Bilinear) for different levels of waveform fidelity.

3. Multi-Engine Synthesis for Fat, Evolving Sounds

– 4 Additional Oscillator Types (Sine, Saw, Square, Noise) for layering and thickening the sound.

4. Deep Modulation & Automation

– 4 LFOs with multiple waveforms (Sine, Triangle, Square, Random, Step) and tempo sync.
– 4 Envelopes (ADSR) for precise control over dynamics and modulation.
– Dedicated Amp & Filter ADSR for shaping volume and filter cut-off independently.
– Right-clicking the mouse goes directly to the corresponding control line of the modulation screen.
-Shift + mouse drag on tune slider makes -+12 tone discretes update

5. MIDI Control & Expression
– 4 MIDI Mod Sources: Velocity, Aftertouch (Pressure), Mod Wheel, and Random.
– Oversampling Options for aliasing-free high frequencies.

Why This Plugin?
generate wavetables from photos, abstract art, or even screenshots.
Perfect for Experimental Music, Cinematic Scoring, and Glitchy Textures.
Fully Automatable & Performative: Ideal for live sets and evolving compositions.

Nasca is an standalone tool application for Windows that employs Wavetable / Granular / Sample-based synthesis in two separate and programmable layers each with extensive FX, Modulation Matrix, Chord Sequencer and two Arpeggiators modules which provide the user with maximum control over sound creation.

With the built-in 16steps Chord Sequencer and two Arpeggiators, long evolving ambient and atmospheric sounds can be created. Also, the Sequencer and Arpeggiators allows for more rhythmic based compositions or patches as well. It is possible to create an entire composition just by creating many layers.

Nasca is Free/Donate. The Free version has some limitations. No installation is necessary, and it works without problems in Windows XP and Windows 10 (32/64-bit). (Nasca is 32-bit.).

Nasca is JCS module / Joystick Controlled Synthesizer. Use a Joystick Gamepad (xBox type) to control some of the Nasca parameters in real time, as a controller. This function will allow you to control chords, launch layers A and B separately, adjust the volume and mixing of layers, as well as modulate some parameters in the Mod Matrix.
