Surge XT 1.2.3 Standalone, CLAP, VSTi 3 [En]
![[Image: 8dEyPKD.png]](https://i.imgur.com/8dEyPKD.png)
System requirements:
Windows 7 or newer (64-bit/32-bit)
3 GHz quad-core processor featuring SSE2 instructions or better
Minimum of 4 GB of RAM
Host: Works both in Standalone and as VST 3, CLAP
Original description:
free and open source hybrid Synthesizer. Many synthesis techniques, a great selection of filters, a flexible modulation engine, a smorgasbord of effects, and modern features like MPE and microtuning. If you have used it in the past, it will be like welcoming an old friend back into your life. If you are new to Surge XT, welcome to the party
General:
- Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid.
- Each patch contain two scenes which are separate instances of the entire synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layered or split patches.
- Category-based patch browser.
- MPE support.
Oscillators:
3 oscillators per scene.
- 12 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Modern, Wavetable, Window, Sine, FM2, FM3, String, Twist, Alias, S&H Noise, and audio input.
- Classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dual saw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and hard sync.
- Modern oscillator is a mixable saw/pulse/triangle oscillator with an optional sub-oscillator mode for triangle (and it can also change to sine or square) and hard sync.
- FM2 and FM3 oscillators consist of a carrier and 2 or 3 modulators and various options.
- String oscillator uses two filtered waveguides to emulate plucked or bowed string sounds.
- Twist oscillator is based on a very famous Eurorack macro oscillator, and it offers a myriad of synthesis options in a very easy to use way.
- Most algorithms (except FM2, FM3, Twist and Audio Input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
- Oscillator FM in 3 different configurations and ring modulation between oscillators 1-3 and 2-3.
- Most oscillator algorithms (except FM2, FM3, Sine and Alias) are strictly band-limited, yet still cover the entire audible spectrum, delivering a clear punchy yet clean sound.
- Noise generator with variable spectrum (available directly in the oscillator mixer).
Filter Block:
- Two filter units in 8 different configurations.
- Feedback loop available in 7 of those configurations.
- Available filter algorithms: Lowpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Legacy Ladder Lowpass (6-24 dB/oct), Vintage - Ladder Lowpass (2 variations, each with and without gain compensation), Highpass ( 12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), - Bandpass (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 3 variations), Notch (12 and 24 dB/oct, each with 2 variations), Allpass (3 variations), Comb (positive and negative), S&H.
- Open-source additions to our filter bank contain: K35 and Diode Ladder filter types from Odin 2 synthesizer, 12 and 24 dB/oct multimode filters from OB-Xd, and weird but fascinating Cutoff Warp, Resonance Warp and Tri-Pole filters by Jatin Chowdhury.
- Filters can self-oscillate (with excitation) and respond amazingly fast to cutoff frequency changes.
- Waveshaper (43 shapes).
Modulation:
- 12 LFO units available, 6 are per voice and 6 are global for the whole scene.
- DAHDSR envelope generators on every LFO.
- LFO shapes consist of 7 deformable LFO waveforms, step sequencer, a fully-fledged multi-segment envelope generator (MSEG) with various curves and up to 128 nodes, and last but not the least - a formula modulator which utilizes Lua scripting language to provide completely custom modulator output.
- Voice LFOs allow envelope retriggering in step sequencer mode.
- Extremely fast and flexible modulation routing. Almost every continuous parameter can be modulated.
Effects:
- 16 effect units arranged as 4 inserts per scene, 4 sends and 4 master effects.
- 27 effect algorithms:
FILTERING:
- 3-band fully parametric EQ.
- 11-band graphic EQ.
- Exciter (based on a famous "type B" studio rack unit).
- Resonator (inspired by a resonator from a vintage polysynth that rhymes with "vogue").
DISTORTION:
- CHOW (maximally truculent distortion with compressor-like controls).
- Distortion.
- Neuron (distortion based on Gated Recurrent Unit).
- Tape (based on the awesome ChowDSP ChowTapeModel!).
- Waveshaper (the same one as in the filter block).
MANGLING:
- Combulator (like resonator, but using comb filters instead).
- frequency shifter.
- Nimbus (a famous Eurorack live input granularizer).
- Ring modulator.
- Treemonster (pitch-tracked ring modulator from Shortcircuit 2!).
- Vocoder.
MODULATION:
- Chorus.
- Ensemble (BBD-based or clean!).
- Flanger.
- Phaser.
- Rotary speaker.
TIME & SPACE:
- Delay.
- Reverb 1.
- Reverb 2.
- Spring Reverb.
MULTIEFFECTS:
- Airwindows (itself containing 56 wonderful effects of various kinds!).
- Conditioner (low/high EQ, stereo image and limiter).
- Mid Side Tool.

Changes in Surge XT 1.2.1 and 1.2.2
We released Surge XT 1.2.1 on April 30, 2023, and 1.2.2 fixing a small error on May 1. It fixes a few small irritations from the previous version and adds a couple of features which we had ready for the next release.
Headline Changes
In 1.2.0 we have corrected a problem with audio input for irregular block sizes, but we warned about this situation too loudly and way too often - the warning is now moved to the audio input oscillator screen (in 1.2.2; in 1.2. 1 it is on every oscillator screen), but the feature is kep
Renaming a patch could cause a race condition in our patch database - especially on Linux systems - causing a simple rename to show a large number of database lock errors - this is now fixed
Tuning
Pitch slider set to 0 in Absolute mode now tunes correctly with Scala tuning files loaded
Modulation
Fixed pitch bend becoming stuck when toggling MPE mode during held bent note
Made sure Portamento set to 0 is strictly 0 in all modes
UI/UX
Clearing FX slot or chains will now disable bypass if a slot or slots were bypassed
Dragging a node in MSEG shows a value tooltip
Fixed font difference after typein for VKB Tempo field
Fixed a problem where Oscilloscope improperly grabbed keyboard focus
Allowed envelope retrigger options for Latch play mode
Fixed a problem whereby the Tempo field in standalone didn't work in some cases
content
Added CC0 license to the Init Square template patch
Infrastructure
1.2.2 contains our last binary distribution of the LV2 format. Going forward users needing an LV2 will need to self build. (1.2.1 is missing an LV2).
832c875 : Revert "Remove LV2 from the RPM (which didn't conditionally include it)" - Paul Walker
eec96ff : Move CMakeLists to 1.2.2 - Paul Walker
de67bc6 : Supress the Input Latency on OSC other than AudioIn (#7006) - Paul
1080ad7 : Create a new option for overlays to not initial-grab keyboard focus . - Morgon Kanter
ed5eaf2 : Remove LV2 from the RPM (which didn't conditionally include it) - Paul Walker
