History

The long road from hardware to software …

Designed to be both powerful and affordable, TyrellN6 is a compact but versatile synth based on ideas for a hardware instrument by Amazona (www.amazona.de) that never came to fruition. After many ups and downs with the hardware concept, Urs (u–he) offered to develop a software version as he already had a majority of the proposed features in an early version of Diva. It was eventually agreed that u–he would provide the synth engine if Amazona would take care of everything else, and distribute this version as freeware. The original concept called for a streamlined set of modules, which was retained in the software: No panel switching or menu diving at all ensures a very fast, fun workflow!

Evolution ---------

After 14 years of exclusive distribution at www.amazona.de, we are now also hosting Tyrell N6 on this website. Having tweaked several functions so that Tyrell will behave well on current operating systems, we took the opportunity to add the CLAP format, vastly improve VST3 implementation, and polish the factory preset library.

This free “2025 beta” is a necessary intermediate step for Tyrell N6 before it gets a graphic makeover as well as more up-to-date features, including MPE as well as Polyphonic Parameter Modulation (PPM) in the CLAP version. In the meantime, this beta will also be hosted by Amazona.

In April 2013, u-he / Amazona introduced version 3, which added the VST3 format and sported a more flashy user interface designed by Ryo Ishido. The 2025 beta looks very similar to Ryo’s design, and even has the same version number. However, under the hood are several improvements …

New in the 2025 beta

  • Supports CLAP (see www.cleveraudio.org)
  • Supports the latest macOS (Sequoia)
  • Supports native Apple Silicon
  • Improved VST3 support
  • Modern preset browser
  • Updated, simpler user guide
  • Better GUI performance
  • Revamped preset library
  • Soundset installation via drag&drop
  • Makeshift configuration section added
  • 50% & 60% GUI scaling options added
  • Supports MTS–ESP microtuning (Mac, Win, Linux)
  • User–definable MIDI CC control instead of Breath and Expression
  • Supports VST2 > VST3 migration
  • Improved parameter automation in Pro Tools
  • Windows installer now comes with an uninstaller
  • … and more

Notes: AAX and CLAP are 64–bit only; macOS 32–bit support has been discontinued. Windows and Linux users should remove the original factory presets before updating.
