A single bass patch. An attempt to recreate a popular Synthwave bass. Charlatan is not perfect for this sound but the result is usable nonetheless.

These presets were made with Charlatan 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3.
They should work with those versions. We advise to install the latest version.
At time of writing this is version 1.1.3.

excellent synth, sounds great. perfect for all sequencer lines, with multiple

instances running. would like to see more from this dev in the future, taking

the concept a bit further. top-notch go-to machine. (would be nice to set different

background colour, too, next time ;) )

That's also what we think and hope for (and more). Would be awesome to have a highpass filter and some more osc-options/waves f.e.

The best characteristic of this synth is that it is extremely simple and easy to use.

I like the sound especially playing keys and basses in poliphonic mode.

Would be fine add modulation to the LFO with the Mod. Envelope.

Cheers.

Im having trouble loading preset banks... I wanna use Charlatan in a DAW called Stagelight, but there is no button in the host to open complimentary files, like these preset files.

In Ableton it was easy to do because it offers a button to open preset files, but still, the presets won't show up in Stagelight. Is there another way to add presets?? I just don't see how within the GUI in Charlatan?

Please add the key tracking for the volume. I mean the key tracking that makes the volume for the notes different. Like the higher the note the lower the volume and vice versa.

Similar to the key tracking for the filter.

it ought to be possible to set up a multitimbral charlatan array with some sort of MIDI filtering and routing. i'll bet Reaper could handle that.

this is an incredible instrument that has replaced (the previous king of freeware synths) for me. Charlatan is so ergonomic, easy to navigate, almost too simple, and it is almost impossible to make it sound bad. It is refreshing that it is not yet another clone of some other synth, and that it is a sincere attempt to deliver the goods without getting ahead of itself in terms of usability and expected behavior.

Very good filter sound. Quick GUI edit and a nice unisono option. Still state of the art and placed on one track in the mix.

Rack Extension?

I don't know do you still read that or not but we're looking forward Charlatan 3.0 :).

I'm kidding but if you have time it'd be really lovely.

Anyway Thank you a lot! It's great synth.

btw What's the trick? :).

Great synth that I use to make some retro beats. Wrote a blog about it to support the developers that you can read from here: https://beatsbymirakle.beatstars.com/blog/the-best-things-in-music-happen-by-accident-charlatan-synth-8247

Also made a beat with it that you can listen here: https://bsta.rs/1f580ff9

Had fun with this synth, so I hope the developer get to see that.

Great little synth.

One tiny problem which hopefully someone here can help with.(not a huge issue just confusing and frustrating).

Whenever I create a patch (or edit an exsisting patch) then name and save it, the name shown in the folder is correctly (ie - the name i have given the patch).

However, when i later re-load the patch, it reverts to it's previous name or <empty> in the patch name display.

Any one know how to get named (or re-named) patches to retain their new names?

Thanks (and fingers crossed).

p.s - also have the same issue with Deducktion and Lokomotiv vsts.
