Synthism: Collaborative Synthesizer Construction

http://synthism.com is an online tool used to collaboratively construct synthesizers. It can be seen as a software based modular synthesizer where you not only can change the connections between the modules, but also the the modules themselves. Everything on synthism.com is editable by the user.

Synthism.com also gives you the ability to easily integrate modules that other people have built into your own synthesizer. Everything that is built becomes a part of a common module database to be used by anyone, just as articles on wikipedia.org.

Technology:

Synthism.com our frontend to the powerful BrainBeat compiler, which is also built by the synthism.com team. This gives you the possibility to export synthesizers from synthism.com to different platforms, e.g. as a VST instrument. The flexibility of the BrainBeat compiler allows us to add support for exotic hardware such as FPGAs or special purpose built DSPs found in different hardware synthesizers, making export to such platforms available.

Status

The Synthism frontend is an early alpha but we are continuing work on it. If you want to be contacted when it is completed send an email to info@synthism.com. The BrainBeat compiler is to date in a working condition but not open for the public.
