A Monophonic Synthesiser

By Istvan Kaldor
v 1.2

Welcome to Maestro, a monophonic VST synthesiser, made with Synthedit, but with a difference. This synth has been designed from the ground up, with the keyboard player in mind, and it features extensive, real-time performance control via the modulation matrix, making it one of the most expressive VST synths around.

Although for a monosynth it’s quite heavy on the CPU (av. 9%), it is capable of some very big sounds.

Ideally you should use a MIDI keyboard with aftertouch, Mod wheel, Data slider, and a foot pedal. But it’s not absolutely necessary, as most VST hosts will allow you to write MIDI CC data into a track.

The main features are:

  • Two oscillators with the standard SE waveforms
  • 2 pole to 4 pole low pass filter
  • Dedicated LFO’s for amplitude, oscillator pitch and filter cutoff
  • Assignable modulation LFO
  • Assignable modulation ADSR envelope
  • 6 modulation destinations
  • 17 modulation sources including Off min and Off max
  • A delay effect, and an auto panner

(Note) All of the important controls have “hints” which you can see by moving the cursor over them.
