amsynth is a free and open-source analog modeling software synthesizer. It implements classic subtractive synthesis with dual oscillators, a resonant low-pass filter, ADSR envelopes, LFO, distortion, and reverb. The system is designed for real-time audio and MIDI processing, supporting polyphony, portamento, pitch bend, and microtonal tuning via Scala files. It can run as a standalone application using JACK, ALSA, or OSS audio drivers, or as a plugin in LV2, VST2, DSSI, and AudioUnit formats. The architecture separates the core synthesis engine (Synthesizer, VoiceAllocationUnit, VoiceBoard) from the GUI (JUCE-based with a skinnable control panel) and plugin wrappers, all sharing a common parameter system with observer pattern and value smoothing. The repository includes a large collection of preset banks, a configuration system, and internationalization support. External dependencies include JUCE for the GUI, freeverb for reverb, MTS-ESP for microtonal support, and NSM for session management.
