TranceDrive is a subtractive synthesizer that was build for Trance music - it has built-in supersaw oscillators for fat synths and pads, harsh filters, a trancegate and a huge reverb effect.

Features:

  • 3 main oscillators:
    • Each main oscillator supports 6 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, saw7 and cry.
    • The waveform "saw7" is a supersaw with 7 detunable sub-oscillators.
    • The waveform "cry" is an experimental waveform, it is built up with several hard-synced saws.
    • Main oscillator 2 has an additional unisono mode, when it is enabled, the whole oscillator triples its voice and the voices can be detuned from each other.
    • The oscillators can be chained (osc1 to osc2 and osc2 to osc3) using FM, PM and sync, these 3 options can also be used at the same time.
  • Separate noise oscillator.
  • 3 LFOs:
    • Each supports 5 waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, sample and hold.
    • The LFOs can be synchronized to the host tempo or run free at a specific frequency.
    • Each LFO can control multiple parameters of each OSC, you can even assign several LFOs to the same parameter.
    • LFO1 can control the filter cutoff.
  • 2 Envelope generators (Mod & Amp) with variable shapes. The modulation envelope can control multiple parameters of each OSC, and it can also be mixed with the LFOs. Additionally it can control the filter cutoff.
  • 3 types of filters: lowpass, highpass and bandpass. Each filter type can be set to 6dB, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB steepness.
  • 9 effects, and they can be used at the same time: gater, chorus, phaser, flanger, distortion, delay, reverb, equalizer, stereo-effects.
  • Each of the unused parts of the synth is shown with less contrast, so you can focus on the active parts.
  • The output of the synth can be clipped to avoid overdriving noise. The clipping is done with a soft limiter, that can be used to compress the whole synth sound (just enable clip and turn up the main volume).

Amazing stuff. It is just simple to use and brings all qualities a producer needs. A trance plugin filled with cool features and enables expert level sounds, which is just beyond crazy. Get this right now.

This synth is pretty comprehensive, 3 very nice oscilators with some great waveforms + unison, basic fm, etc, standard filter with LP, HP, BP and 6/12/18/24 db slope options, noise osc, good mixer, 3 lfo, 2 env, per-item modulation, and a huge FX section.

The real highlight for me, though, is that every part can be turned on and off. This is particularly amazing in a modular host like energy XT (which i use). So what i do is start with an empty preset, then turn on elements as i need them. So if i want 2 oscilators, i turn them on. Then say i want to use an external filter, i could just leave it like that, with nothing else. or i could switch on the fx section and add some chorus and a short delay, before going out to the ext filter. each lfo could affect each osc differently.

So the big thing for me is the ability to switch on things as i need them, and that sets this synth apart from many others in my collection.
