firefly-synth's Introduction

About

A semi-modular software synthesizer and fx plugin. It's basically InfernalSynth's big brother.

What does it sound like?

Pretty much like InfernalSynth. I reused most of the algorithms, although some of them got upgraded. In particular, the waveshaper becomes a full-blown distortion module, the Karplus-Strong oscillator has some extra knobs to play around with, there's a new CV-to-CV mod matrix and last-but-not-least, it can do actual (Chowning-style) FM synthesis.

See also demos for project files. Not all of these sounds are presets, but if you want you can extract the other ones from there.

System requirements and supported environments

  • Mac: 64-bit (X64) cpu for Intel-based Macs. 64-bit ARM cpu for Apple Silicon. Universal binaries are provided. Tested on MacOS 14.
  • Linux: 64-bit (X64) cpu. Provided binaries do not require AVX support, but you might want to build with march=native for better performance. Tested on Ubuntu 22. Known to work on Fedora and Mint, too.
  • Windows: 64-bit (X64) cpu with AVX support. Tested on Windows 10. Windows 7+ should work but you might need this:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170.
  • Explicitly supported hosts: Reaper, Bitwig, FLStudio. Please use a recent version.
  • Explicitly NOT supported hosts:
    Waveform (too many problems), Renoise (bug), Cakewalk (same bug as renoise, probably).
  • Renoise support waits for this:
    https://forum.renoise.com/t/possible-probable-bug-w-r-t-vst3-parameter-flushing/70684.
  • All other hosts, you'll just have to try and see.

Download

Install

Extract the zipped folder and copy/replace it (the entire folder, not just the .dll/.so/.dylib!) to your VST3/CLAP folder:

MacOS: if you get a warning like "archive damaged" or "failed to open" etc, it's probably this: https://syntheway.com/fix-au-vst-vst3-macos.htm.

Build from source

  • git clone --recursive [this-project]
  • Mac: scripts/build_mac.sh [Debug|RelWithDebInfo|Release]
  • Linux: scripts/build_linux.sh [Debug|RelWithDebInfo|Release]
  • Windows: scripts/build_windows.bat [Debug|RelWithDebInfo|Release]

Note: the build scripts and cmake files assume linux=gcc, windows=msvc and mac=clang. It is not possible to change compiler for any given OS without changing the build scripts and cmake files.

You'll need CMake and a very recent c++ compiler. The final output ends up in the /dist folder.
Like noted above, the default Linux build does not enable AVX. To fix that, you'll have to edit https://github.com/sjoerdvankreel/firefly-synth/blob/main/plugin_base/cmake/plugin_base.config.cmake.
