The Tyrell Nexus 6 plug-in was programmed by Urs Heckmann (mastermind of u-he) for Amazona.de. This is a virtual analog software synthesizer: the sound engine is circuit-modeled and is similar to the u-he ACE. The features are those that we may expect from a vintage synthesizer like the Juno series from Roland.

Features:

  • 2 Oscillators.
  • 1 Sub-Oscillator.
  • 1 Noise Generator.
  • 1 Ring modulator.
  • 1 Signal feedback.
  • 2 LFOs.
  • 2 ADSR envelopes.
  • 1 Modulation Matrix.

One of the best freeware Synths I ever used (And I really tried a lot....)!
There maybe some more flexible ones, but the Sound is great.

The developer isn't kidding about its Juno inspirations. You can test out its faithfulness by dialing in a hoover sound, which it excels in making.

The core sound quality of Tyrell is a mixed bag, as it is based on solid analog modelling, yet it isn't effectively antialiased so you can come across some harshness in the high registries. This sometimes makes me want to close it out and use something else, but the foamy/creamy textures you get when moving its filters over more complex sounds keep me coming back. Aliasing aside, the oscillators and snappy envelopes are brilliant. Be sure to turn on its oscillator drift to go from a DCO Juno sound to more of an old school VCO Juno sound.

It's good thing. But be ready it is very limited. Only 2 Matrix slots. You can't control the phase of the OSCs. There is no Static parametr to use as Source. You can use Stack Voice instead but when you set 2 or more unison voices it will affect them in opposite directions. And it's CPU heave.

But yeah. It's very good sound you get for free. Especialy for the basses.

Also I did not found much good presets for it.

P.S.

You've gotta love the chorus it has. I don't know how it works but you can easely make that it's mostly high content passes to sides. So even if you add chorus to the bass patch it will be very mono compatible while sound much wider.

Didn't know there was a review section or I would have written this earlier.

The sound "quality" of the Tyrell N6 is phenomenal. This (and the Zebralette) are the two best sounding FREE synths currently available by a long shot. Oatmeal, Crystal, Polyiblit, Synth1 etc.. are all great synth's but they don't have the same "quality sound" as the 2 mentioned.

Both are pretty easy to navigate & use and are capable of more with their single osc configurations than others are with multiple osc's. At first, I couldn't understand why these were available for free UNTIL I ended up purchasing Zebralette's big brother Zebra2. A GREAT marketing strategy yes, but the fact remains, they are both superb and leave very little else to be desired.

To whom it may concern. I am planning to make a YouTube video using your Tyrell Nexus 6 and Zebralette plugins. I am asking permission to use your freeware plugins in my noncommercial tunes and videos. Thank You.

when you download this plugin it comes with a license agreement that says you can use it in commercial and non-commercial works, as that's kind of the point of you getting the plugin. there is no need to ask for permission.

There's a v3 available for some time now. Time to update the KVR DB in this regard? :).
