Woodman's Immaculate Maple Syrup Studio releases WoodSynth v4.0 with new tube oscillators and more, both on MacOS and iOS

23rd March 2025

WoodSynth is a multi-layer, MPE and MIDI V2 synthesizer with a versatile feature set.

New features in 4.0 include:

Added Tube Oscillator type (based on the tube modelling in WoodValvet):
- Works completely different than the digital oscillators and hence gives a very analog sound.
- Drive, bias and tube type parameters allow to smoothly change harmonics and waveform from sine wave to square wave.
- An optional integrator circuit after the oscillator can generate sawtooth waveforms.
- The drive control can be modulated by the oscillator's LFO, by the Aux ADSR or by MIDI input (pressure, aftertouch, mod wheel and CC74).
- Has a tolerance control which influences individual note detuning.
Added new convolution reverb unit based on WoodVerberator:
- It has a new reverb type dropdown, a new reverb time (0 .. 10s) and a new damping control.
- Reverb Send can be modulated by the general LFO's and by keyboard pressure/aftertouch.
- Reverb parameters now have their own UI panel.
- Reverb now has its own HPF, LPF and Saturation (not shared with delay any longer).
Added Samples per note:
- Allows sampled instruments like drums, piano, etc.
- Notes without a sample have several modes to generate sound from an existing sample.
Added new Preset Browser.
Added SetList: a small list of presets with MIDI PC values starting from 0 and up.
Added manual triggering of the sequencer (live playing, see section 6.1.9 ...).
Sequencer can now show the note values in stead of only semitone values.
ML (MIDI learn) now indicates when a MIDI CC is already used.
Added 10+ presets.

Woodsynth is available from the Mac App Store for $79.99 for the desktop version and $15.99 for the mobile version.
