Adam started synthlib back in 2015 with a dream of helping synth fans make the most of their instruments.

That “wow” sound comes from using oscillator sync together with envelope control of Oscillator 2’s frequency.
Woody and percussive, but still modern and synthetic on purpose. Great for high-range counterpoint.
A shaker with some groove. Bring up the resonance for more of a rattle sound.
Using the LFO as the primary filter modulation source makes some fantastic wobble chords. Adjust the LFO speed to match your tempo.
Brass-like tone not meant to mimic actual brass instruments. Useful for short, prominent chords. Longer notes brighten up over time.
Based on a classic Depeche Mode melody. Both sawtooth and pulse waves are mixed, and the moderate LFO adds a touch of a chorusey sound by modulating the pulse width.
Creating a decent organ patch for the Poly 800 proved to be difficult. Here’s an attempt.
Full organ with lots of harmonics and a cheesy, but effective leslie simulation on the mod wheel.
Slow, because of the slow attack and decay, this bass patch blends notes together in a pattern.
LFO controlled filter modulation at a moderate speed makes these chords wobble.
Sequenced bleeps and bloops with a percussive attack
Add bender-controlled pitch variation for a vintage feel to this string-like lead tone.
The LFO makes it wobble, and is tempo-synced. Use MIDI or the tempo knob to adjust wobble speed.
Fuzzy, simple bass patch with almost no filter or envelope. Super basic.
This microkorg dreamt it was a modular synth and woke up singing this tune.
