Sylenth1

The smart software program “Sylenth1” comes with tools that help sound engineers, sound effects creators, music producers, and other advanced computer users create high-quality sounds and effects for their projects related to music.

Sylenth1 is a Virtual Studio Technology “VST” plugin. To install this plugin, you must first install a VST-enabled host application on your personal computer if you don’t have one installed already.

Think of the Sylenth as an analog synthesizer and virtual instrument which features a wide variety of components that come in handy for music production purposes. Some of these components include sound effects, modulators, filters, and oscillators.

There are 4 oscillators included with this plugin that can produce analog waveforms. As many as 8 stereo voices can be produced with each oscillator. This means you can produce as many as 32 voices for each note. Since 16 polyphony notes exist, you can play 512 voices simultaneously.

In addition, the Sylenth gives users 2 analog-sound filter areas, several modulation capabilities, 2 LFOS, and 2 ADSR envelopes. The sound effects include a distortion effect, arpeggiator, phaser, equalizer, chorus, reverb one, compressor, and delay effect.

In conclusion, the Sylenth1 is what is called an “smart plugin” and contains Virtual Studio Technology. It has all the right tools for creating great sounds in music projects.
