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

Dynamic synth strings with sharp rise and fall with a long, muted decay. Add lots of reverb to liven it up and blend.
Nice, big attack with a little brassy flavor useful for chords, bass or leads
A percussive blip with a bit of a zap at the beginning when notes are played harder. Uses amplitude modulation for the metallic sound.
Bright sizzle decaying to warmth. Use the hold button for long, overlapping tones.
Another experiment with rapidly speeding up LFOs—this time with more high-frequency content.
Pretend the Juno has a mono mode for this lead. Use the LFO trigger to bring in vibrato on longer notes.
Clean synth bass with a closing envelope on the filter and a touch of resonance.
Use the mod wheel to speed up the LFO just into the audio range, then back it off to expose the base tone.
Slight vowel sound from two synced square waves.
Bigger than life patch for chords, bass, really anything that needs to be bigger.
A mellow, almost flute-like lead tone. Use the mod wheel to bring in a touch of vibrato for a human feel.
Excited and dark at the same time. Useful for punchy and sustained chords.
Short and slightly stabby great for accent chords.
Why does every one want a fat bass? Who knows. Here’s a thin one.
Inspired by the syncopated chords in “Time To Get Away” by LCD Soundsystem.
Thick, fuzzy bass tone for when you really want that bass to pop.
From the podcast, here is an example using oscillator sync to tweak the harmonic content of the patch.
