microSynth For Mac

microsynth is a cross-platform application that serves the role of a microtonal SoundFont synthesizer with polyphonic and multi-timbral capabilities. microsynth can carry out various tuning tasks of output pitches with support for audio recording, retuning and MIDI controllers.

The microsynth utility provides both novice and professional musicians absolute control of the tuning in their song tracks. A great advantage of using microsynth is that it allows you to control the tuning of output pitches and offers a wide array of additional features.

Microsynth works only as a standalone app for OS X and Windows and not as an audio plug-in. Moreover, microsynth features a compact and uncluttered user interface with an upper toolbar, a pane for selecting your audio functions, a mixer area as well as a built-in keyboard.

Unlike other audio synthesizer programs, microsynth comes with support for 16-part multi-timbral tuning. This means that you will be able to operate 16 different tracks in the same mixing session.

Another important feature is its compatibility with most MIDI controllers (such as TPX and U-PLEX keyboards). Because microsynth can perform one process at a time, the MIDI response is affected by a restricted number of interface actions, i.e. using popup menus, changing window size / position, moving knobs / sliders and selecting pages.

Also included in the list of features are the automated switches of different tunings, changing Octave, Maps and Keys scales in realtime, as well as the ability to tune up to 2048 unique pitches.

microsynth was also crafted with compatibility for popular music notation tools in mind. In other words, you can load your resulting files in various audio digital workstations, such as Logic, Sibelius, Digital Performer and more.

If you do not require multi-timbral capabilities (and other functions included in microsynth) in your line of work, you can check out microsynth-mini. It’s a more affordable version with less features than the full microsynth application.
