The very cool free cross-platform synthesizer TyrellN6 has just been updated to version 2, Now 3. I’ve been wanting to post about Tyrell N6 for a while, so this update is a great opportunity to show it some much deserved love.
TyrellN6 was created by Urs Heckman for Amazona.de, a German music production magazine. Originally the concept was for a low-cost hardware analog synthesizer in a similar style to a Roland Juno 60. It wasn’t long before they realized hardware takes a very long time to develop and Mr. Heckman of u-he software stepped in to create a virtual version in just a few weeks.
TyrellN6 is by far one of the best free virtual analog synths out there now. The latest version gets a visual style overhaul and a 3-mode chorus function that sounds really fat, very much like the vintage hardware.
TyrellN6 V2 is VST and AU for Mac and Win.
You can get the latest version of TyrellN6 on the Amazona.de website (German but links are easy to find at the bottom).
There’s a little more information on the u-he synthesizers website.
Update – Version 3 is here

I’m trying to download the Tyrell N6 and getting it to run on reaper but I’m not having a lot of luck. I downloaded then opened the zip file and I’m left with a folder labled TyrellN6.data and another file TyrellN6 {64}.d. Where do I put these?
I tried user plugins. I tried Fx. No luck I don’t seem to be able to bring up the Tyrell N6 with reaper. Can you help?
On Windows it goes in your VST plugins folder. Do a search on the C drive for a folder called VST. On Mac its in “Macintosh HD; Library; Audio; Plugins; VST” OR in REAPER’s preferences you can see the vst folder listed under Plugins>VST
The user plugins folder is for REAPER specific tools, namely the LAME MP3 encoder and SWS extensions. The Effects folder is for JS format plugins.
I don’t seem to have a folder in Plugins listed as VST but I put the folder in plugins then went to the VST plug in setting in preferences and created a path. It is now listed under VSTi and also under JS don’t know why. Anyhow it works when I click on VSTi and doesn’t when I click on JS. Now I just have to figure out how to use the synth. Know of any tutorials.
Thanks so much for your help. I’m a bit of a computer numskull.
OK so maybe this is your first VST you’ve installed.
I wrote these tutorials
a fewmany years ago and it looks a bit broken BUT they should help a lot getting you started.http://audiogeekzine.com/category/tutorial/synth-basics/
