Synare for EXS24
|
 |
Synare is a multi-sample library that puts the beauty and warmth of a true analog classic into the hands of the modern music producer. Venturing well beyond the ubiquitous synth-tom sounds used on countless disco and progressive rock hits of the 70’s, Synare offers multi-velocity drum kits and menus (kicks, snares, toms, fx, etc…), as well as basses, chromatic percussion and other synth sounds. Each sound was recorded with up to 8 velocity levels and triggered with absolute consistency from our DAW via an external input that we had retrofitted to our Synare. We started with over 12GB of raw material to extract everything we possibly could from this legendary drum synth – the range of sound is truly immense.
Synare is available now as an instant download for Logic Pro 8/EXS24
Price: $69.95 USD

About the Synare |
Built in 1977 by U.S.-based Star Instruments, the Synare 3 was one of the most popular analog synthesizer drum pads in the 70’s and early 80’s. The Synare 3 percussion pad is dynamic and level dependent. There are two oscillators. Oscillator 1 can be switched between noise or an adjustable square wave. Oscillator 2 can generate an LFO (called SLO on the unit) or a square wave. One or both oscillators can be turned off. The self-oscillating filter offers the following controls: Tune (filter frequency), Oscillator 2 level, Sweep, Resonance, and Decay. The final amplifier section has Volume and Decay time controls. |

Programs (EXS24) |
16 Note Kits
16 Note Kits, as the name implies, are drum kits that have 16 different drum sounds. They are mapped using the General MIDI convention from C1 to B1, with additional percussion, FX or other samples from C2 to Eb2. |
|
Octave Kits
Octave Kits have a different drum kit (Bass Drum, Snare, HiHat, etc...) per octave over a 5 octave range. The idea behind this is to offer a variety of different, but sympathetic sounds within one kit. As an example, a kit may offer a range of Bass Drums with the same general sound but with varying decays from short to long. And because the General MIDI convention is used, you will always know that Bass Drums are on the notes C1, C2, C3, etc, and Claps are on Eb1, Eb2, Eb3, etc... This will allow you to alternate sounds and create interesting variations of a groove, simply by transposing sounds to different octaves. |
Switching Kits
Switching kits employ your controller's mod wheel, and / or LFOs to crossfade between samples. The resulting instruments offer some of the realtime control capabilities of the original hardware, as well as the capability to randomly morph through different sound sets. |
Chromatic Instruments
The majority of the Chromatic Instruments were created with one of two oscillators: the first Oscillator is the Synare’s filter self-oscillating to create a sine wave; and the other is the Synare’s ‘OSC 2’ which is essentially a square wave. Both of these Oscillators were sampled chromatically over 5 octaves, with 8 velocity layers per note. They are also available mapped in their raw form, without any filters or modulation, to be used as a starting point when creating your own instruments.
|
Menus
The Menu programs contain variations of a single sound type based on the sample categories listed below (i.e. Zaps or Noise Hits). There are a wide assortment of menus to choose from, and some sound types are available in mulitple programs, each with different mappings to offer maximum creativity, as well as an efficient way of auditioning sounds when you want to build your own drum kits and instruments.
