BlauKraut Engineering

BlauKraut Engineering has released version 3.1.0 of Charlatan, the freeware virtual analog (VA) synthesizer with focus on sound quality and easy usability.

Charlatan 3 has been redesigned from the ground up in order to better meet the needs of today's productions. Besides the new powerful synthesis engine, the completely revamped user interface offers an ultra-fast workflow and encourages a creative sound design process much like what the original synth is known for.

Charlatan 3 Feature Summary:

  • Two dual oscillators per voice with custom drawable waveforms, cross-modulation (Phase Mod, linear Frequency Mod, Ring Mod), windowed hard sync and noise generator.
  • Up to 7 unison voices per oscillator.
  • Two filters per voice with types: 4-pole ladder LP/HP/BP, Acid LP, 2-pole Sallen-Key LP/HP/BP, Notch and Comb.
  • Flexible filter routing (serial / parallel / dual).
  • Four modulation generators with freely drawable shape where each can operate either as LFO or envelope generator.
  • Four Modulation transformers (XFORM) allow reshaping any control signal through a user-defined mapping.
  • Arbitrary routing of modulation signals via Drag'n'Drop.
  • High-quality master FX section: Distortion, Phaser, Chorus, Reverb, Delay, EQ.
  • Very low CPU and RAM usage.
  • Optional internal 2x oversampling.
  • Preset browser.
  • Cross-platform support: Windows / Linux / VST3 / CLAP.

Great Synth. I'm enoying it a lot during One Synth Challenge (OSC) #182 in April 2024!
It seems so "simple" but is yet so powerfull. The few presets coming with it are all excellent. Actually I will use some for my OSC entry though I mostly never use presets.
