Soundemote has introduced Rhythm And Pitch Generator, a freeware virtual synthesizer in VST and AU plugin formats for compatible digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.
Rhythm And Pitch Generator’s synthesis engine is based around two main components – an analog-style arpeggiator and Robin Schmidt’s TriSaw morphable oscillator which is used to generate the sound on the output. The synthesizer also features an ADSR envelope with adjustable curves and velocity sensitivity, oversampling support, and a built-in preset manager.

The rate can be automated to create build-ups or slow-down effects, whereas the clock dividers can be set to various values while allowing the plugin to arrange them into a series of rhythms. Users who are more into conventional sequencing can sync Rhythm And Pitch Generator to host tempo and input notes manually or generate completely random melodies.
The oscillator is an equally exciting component of Rhythm And Pitch Generator, being capable of gradually morphing between triangle, saw, square, and sine waveforms. It is based on Robin Schmidt’s TriSaw morphable oscillator which provides true waveform morphing, as opposed to simply cross-fading between different waveform shapes. The oscillator section also features a low-pass filter, along with the phase, pitch, frequency, and pitch modulation controls.
Soundemote provides the plugin as freeware with optional donations at checkout. You will be asked to submit your email address while completing the checkout process. For some reason, the download button didn’t work for me in Chrome, but I was able to start the download by right-clicking the link and choosing the “Open Link In New Tab” option in the drop-down menu. Rhythm And Pitch Generator is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit VST and AU plugin host applications on PC and Mac.
Rhythm And Pitch Generator is available for free download via Soundemote (20.3 MB download size, ZIP archive containing EXE installer, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/AU plugin format for Windows & macOS).
