T0NIT0 RMX has introduced ToneZ, a freeware virtual synthesizer in VST and AU plugin formats for compatible digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.
ToneZ is a virtual synthesizer designed specifically for EDM music production. It features four oscillators with twelve morphable waveforms covering a range of classic and less common waveform shapes. The oscillators can be detuned and widened to generate fatter sounds suitable for use as EDM leads and pads. The synthesis engine features four envelopes with exponential and linear curves, two LFO generators with six waveform shapes, and a mod matrix for connecting the available modulation sources with different parameters.

The effects cover distortion, chorusing, compression, delay, reverb, and equalization. ToneZ also features a built-in preset manager for saving custom patches or loading some of the free preset packs which can be downloaded from the product page on T0NIT0 RMX’s website. The synth comes with 30 presets out of the box.
The developers have provided a user manual in PDF format and are even offering free product support on their Discord page. This level of support is quite rare when it comes to freeware products. Users can help further development of the ToneZ synthesizer with optional PayPal donations.
The instrument was developed with the Cabbage framework which uses Csound and JUCE to build plugins. ToneZ is compatible with all VST and AU plugin hosts on PC and Mac. You can download it completely free of charge from the product page linked below.
ToneZ is available for free download via T0NIT0 RMX (3.95 MB download size, ZIP archive containing EXE installer, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/AU plugin format for Windows & MacOS).

onThis plug-in is NOT 32-bit compatible. It has been stated on the YouTube demo video and I have tested myself.
T0NIT0 RMX
onYes, sorry for that, I would need a 32 bit computer for it.
bread
onDo people actually use 32 bit still?

on142MB download size :)
T0NIT0 RMX
onFor Windows it’s 4MB, for MAC it’s like 140MB as you said because it embedded the required Csound library and they are bigger for MAC

onDoes not work in reaper and mulab
T0NIT0 RMX
onTested in Reaper and it worked great. Can you come on Discord to explain your issue ?
Rafael
onHere it works on Reaper (Windows x64)
Malcolm
onNeither reaper or mulab see the plugin, thats all. Rescanned and checked the vst paths multiple times.
T0NIT0 RMX
onFor Reaper, someone on Discord found that clearing the cache helped.
Keep in mind ToneZ was built in Cabbage, a pretty recent framework so the plugin can still have some compatibility issues. That’s why I suggested you to come on Discord and explain (detail your installations steps, check one or two things) because maybe someone else had your issue and know how to fix it (and then Cabbage dev can fix the issues)
Thanks in advance for your help.

onTried in MuLab and it works too ! Maybe something in the installation part in the manual is not well explained ?

onAwesome little synth with HUGE sounds great for EDM.
Crashes Live 10 (64 BIT) and gives multiple errors in FL20
Will play somewhat wrapped with JBridge.
Hope this issue is resolved soon.
I love this synth.

onHi FRANKLIN, could you come on Discord to explain a bit more about your issues so we have a chance to fix them ?
