Free Lazerwave Waveshaping Synthesizer VST Plugin By Ldaysynths

Ldaysynths has introduced Lazerwave, a freeware waveshaping virtual synthesizer VST plugin for 32-bit host applications on Windows.

Lazerwave is a polyphonic virtual synthesizer with three waveshaping oscillators. The oscillators are based on a triangle wave which can be transformed using three different waveshaping modes. The waveshaping is done with an 8-point visual editor which can cover a decent range of timbres. Unfortunately, the waveshaper points can’t be modulated. Instead, the user can modulate the pitch of all three oscillators independently using the two built-in LFO modules.

The plugin also features a simple delay effect with mono, stereo, and ping pong modes. As for the filters, Lazerwave includes a resonant low-pass filter and a high-pass filter with a fixed resonance. The low-pass filter can be modulated with the built-in step sequencer, either synced to host tempo or in freely timed mode. The sequencer can be smoothed out for a more gradual filter modulation.

Lazerwave isn’t a groundbreaking instrument but it offers an interesting feature set which stands out compared to hundreds of basic subtractive synthesizers available on today’s plugin market. If you’re looking for a different way to synthesize sounds, the latest release by Ldaysynths is well worth a try. Even if you’re not an aspiring synthesist, the control layout is simple enough not to scare you away. The synth also includes a small, but nice-sounding set of presets covering a variety of lead and bass sounds.

Unfortunately, the current version of Lazerwave is only compatible with 32-bit VST plugin hosts on Windows. If you’re running a 64-bit digital audio workstation without a built-in 32-bit bridge solution, you can try loading Lazerwave using a third-party utility like 32 Lives or jBridge.

Lazerwave is available for free download via Ldaysynths (1.16 MB download size, ZIP archive, 32-bit VST plugin format for Windows).
