Scanned Synth Mini 1.1.2

Scanned Synth Mini is now available for download from the link below. It features the same synthesis engine as the one used by Scanned Synth Pro (in other words they sound the same when using the same presets) but only allows new sounds to be programmed through randomisation. The user can set the amounts by which each group of parameters will be randomised but does not have direct access to the parameters themselves.

Scanned Synth Mini can load and save presets through the host application that are compatible with Scanned Synth Pro and vice versa. This means that Scanned Synth Mini can actually produce the full range of sounds that Scanned Synth Pro is capable of. Only the amount of control the user has over the sound is limited when compared to Scanned Synth Pro.

Scanned Synth Mini does not offer optimisation for processors with SSE and SSE2 instruction sets, whereas Scanned Synth Pro does. Support for these instructions can reduce the CPU usage by between 33% and 50% (try the demo version of Pro to see for yourself).

Scanned Synth Mini is completely free without any limitations. We plan to produce a Mac version of Scanned Synth Mini in the future.
