Digital Beauty. Surge is a digital synth and makes no bones about it.

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, welcome to the party. Come on in, the water is fine.
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 layering or split patches.

FACTORY SOUNDS
1010 patches

183 wavetables

OSCILLATORS
3 oscillators per voice

8 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sine, Wavetable, Window, FM2, FM3, S/H Noise and Audio input

The classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dual saw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and self-sync.

The FM2/FM3 oscillators consists of a carrier and 2 or 3 modulators and various options.

Most algorithms (except FM2, FM3, Sine and Audio-input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.

Oscillator FM/ring modulation

Most oscillator algorithms (except FM2/FM3) are strictly band-limited, yet still cover the entire audible spectrum, delivering a clear punchy yet clean sound.

Noise generator with variable spectrum.

FILTER BLOCK
Two filter units in 8 different configurations

Feedback loop (number of variations inside the parenthesis)

Available filter algorithms: LP12 (3 variations), LP24 (3 variations), LP Ladder (1-4 poles), HP12 (3 variations), HP24 (3 variations), BP (4 variations), Notch (2 variations), Comb (4 variations), S&H

Filters can self-oscillate (with excitation) and respond amazingly fast to cutoff frequency changes.

Waveshaper (5 shapes)

MODULATION
12 LFO units available, 6 are per voice and 6 are global for the whole scene

DAHDSR envelope generators on every LFO-unit

7 deformable LFO waveforms + drawable/step sequencer waveform

LFO 1 allows envelope retriggering when used as step sequencer

Extremely fast and flexible modulation routing. Almost every continuous parameter can be modulated.

EFFECTS
8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts per scene, 2 sends and 2 master effects

10 top-quality algorithms:

Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo-image control, and limiter), Rotary speaker, Frequency shifter, Vocoder

Changes in Version 1.6.6
Version 1.6.6 fixes several bugs and adds a few key features. We released so quickly after 1.6.5 since we want to take a pause on doing regular production releases while we prepare for a Surge 1.7 release which will include (among other things) a skinning engine to allow designers to adapt the UI. As such, this will be our last production release for a little while - perhaps until summer of 2020. Changes in 1.6.6 are

Audio and Performance Changes
The “Absolute” unison mode was both sample rate dependant and mis-callibrated. Correct it so that, at all sample rates, a “16hz” absolute unison is a 16hz unison spread.
Unison range can now be extended, giving unison spreads up to one octave (pitch) or 192Hz (absolute)
The Window Oscillator now supports FM, and is callibrated to use the same FM Depth as FM2/3/Sin oscillators.
We initialize modulators before the initial voice start, setting the first modulator value at voice initiaion corectly and avoiding a 32-sample “sweep” across a modulator value at voice onset.
Fix two bugs with the sustain pedal; first sustain on channels 3 and 4 didn’t work, and second pressing a key multiple times while sustain was held would lead to an incorrect state.
Fix a bug with the tuning engine where mappings with root keys far outside of scale ranges gave incorrect results
Make the Oscillator display constant even in extreme tuning changes
LV2 Changes
The LV2 had incorrectly advertised the identity of its ports. Change to use unique symbols for each port. Unfortunately this fix will break prior Surge sessions, but those prior sessions inconsistently streamed the synth state in most LV2 hosts
The LV2 didn’t advertise all parameter changes leading to a port being non-synchronized.
Smaller Changes
The VST3/Windows plugin properly formats the automation display of the CC parameters
The FX slots and automation parameters are named more consistently, as are several menus and labels
The value popup window popsup on mouse-down not mouse-move on a slider
The patch and wavetable menus have refresh options on the popup menu, not just in menu/data and patches
Slider mouse behavior in medium and slow works more like classic when over-dragging
Added an init patch which assigns a distinct modulator envelope to each OSC
Add a regtest that parameter IDs are stable across versions
Modify the build pipeline so the linux .deb file has correct ownership on shared assets
Stream the WaveTable name into the patch
Correct the “open tuning library” menu on windows
Fix a bug with opening and closing the VST2 on Linux
