Brain Control releases Tunefish Synth for FREE

tunefish

Tunefish Synth, a tiny synth born from the demoscene for FREE!

WHAT IS THIS?

Tunefish is a very tiny virtual analog synthesizer, it’s a project owned by the demoscene group Brain Control and it was originally developed to acompany real time 3d animations with music, which are then presented at computer art festivals called demoparties. If you are interested in such subject you can visit Brain Control’s website.

Tunefish is developed to fit into about 10kb of compressed machine code while still producing an audio quality that can compete with commercial synthesizers.

This plugin, unlike the version of TF (=Tunefish)  which is used in 64k intros of the group Brain Control is of course larger, mainly because of its graphical user interface.

TF is an ongoing project under active development so if you have any comments or wishes, please let the authors know. Also, if you make some music with it or create soundbanks you’re more than welcome to share them with the authors on the Tunefish page at KVR Audio.

TUNEFISH V4

TF v4 was developed as a smaller replacement of TF v3 with roughly the same power.

It was developed for the intro (a type of demo) called Turtles all the way down and the result was totally worthbecause TF is now even more powerful.

To open it up to a broader range of people, it was also ported over to Linux and MacOS and it was given a new polished UI.
