Softsynth by Digidesign was ported in 1989 from the Mac. It is a Wavetable Generator, and arguably the first fot the Atari TOS platform. This means you can create wavetables, and edit samples to send via MIDI to the likes of the Akai S700, Akai X7000, Akai S900, Akai S612, Korg DSS-1, Ensoniq Mirage, Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 Samplers for example. In fact a total 15 Samplers are supported, and also provides support for MIDI SDS. Sounds can also be saved Sound Designer format. To create sounds it uses techniques known as additive synthesis, and FM synthesis, creating sounds from inception, or from preset paramaters. Sound can also be output via a hardware ADC such as that supplied with ST Sound Digitizer or ST Replay.
