What it does
Surge XT combines synthesis methods, filters, effects, microtuning and expressive control options.
Build a patch from its two synthesis scenes, shape the oscillators and filters, then add LFO/envelope modulation or effects. MPE and Scala/MTS-ESP tuning support expressive controllers and alternative scales.
Match the download and plugin format to your host: the page lists different VST3, CLAP, AU and LV2 combinations by operating system, plus CPU/architecture and memory requirements.
