Phoscyon: Free Modular Software Synthesizer & Audio Engine

Phoscyon is a free and open source modular software synthesizer and audio engine, allowing for sound generation and effects processing through modules and routing audio signals between them, ideal for electronic music production.

What is Phoscyon?

Phoscyon is an open source, cross-platform virtual analog synth, sampler and audio effects processor. It functions as a modular environment where users can load both bundled and third party modules to generate and process sound.

The core of Phoscyon contains oscillators, filters and envelopes to create subtractive synthesis instruments. It also includes a sampler module for loading audio samples. Additional modules like sequencers, effects, modulators and more can be added for expanded functionality.

A defining characteristic of Phoscyon is its flexible routing system. Audio signals can be routed freely between modules allowing for highly customizable sound design. Complex modulation and layering of synths, samples and effects is possible.

Phoscyon is built to be a studio tool for music producers making electronic genres like techno, house, IDM and more. The modular workflow enables sonic experimentation and creative freedom rather than aiming to emulate classic hardware synths.

As an open source project, Phoscyon is available free of charge for Windows, Mac and Linux. It supports plugin standards like VST, AU and LV2 for easy integration into digital audio workstations.
