I picked up Pendulate years ago, played with it for a night, then forgot about it and never picked it up again.
Then I got an email about an update and decided to reinstall this and give it a fair listen.
Pendulate sounds good, and it sounds better than it did years ago. If I recall correctly, years ago it was noisy, glitchy, and dangerous lol, but today it seems more stable, more musical, and honestly pretty good for a specific range of sonic characteristics.
Pendulate does gruesome mono bass synth/drone sounds quite well, runs with minimal CPU usage, and its VST3 plays well with cubase 12, 13, and bitwig 5.1.9/5.2 beta. The sonic palette that you can pull out of Pendulate isnt the widest or most interesting, but the FREE pricetag, excellent low end sounds it produces, improvements over time, & addition of MPE allows me to give this 4 out of 5 stars. This is a fun synth and the vendor doesnt force iLok or any such nonsense.

Although CPU-intensive, it's the ideal synth for anyone who wants to make abrasive, industrial sounds. Think Ben Frost, Franck Vigroux, Mika Vainio, and late Pan Sonic. The "randomizer" is a fountain of inspiration.
Read ReviewThis is a really innovative synth that can help expand your creativity. As a physicist, I was initially attracted to the dual pendulum oscillation aspect, but as a musician, I just love how some of the rhythmic stuff is really fresh and exciting.
Read ReviewThis is no mainstream synth. Very nice GUI and a phantastic sound, I like especially the possibilties in creating complex bass sounds.
Get it and join this month's OSC.
A big thank to the developers.
