Build Your Own Synth

Visit SynthEdit

SynthEdit is a modular environment for designing synthesizers and effects. Users patch modules together on a canvas, draw a front panel, and export a VST3 or Audio Unit plugin. It runs natively on Windows and macOS, with an experimental Linux preview. The software has been in development since 1987 by Jeff McClintock in New Zealand.
