So far, i've fallen in love with the Arp2600VA, which is just so amazingly accurate for a free synth. Not enough patching options, but they're working on it. They make a Minimoog too, with a built in pattern sequencer.

Chimera is phenomenal, it's a synth based on noise. 3 "oscillators" all of which are shades of noise, processed through bandpass filters plus delay, etc.

Here are a couple sites that haven't been posted yet on this or other threads here. They are listed at KVR but you would have to go a-searchin' for them.

great vst sampler called sfz among others

vst and audio units. My favorite is scrubby.

What's up Chaorta? How's the sk-1? I've been reading up on bending myself lately.

It's an SK5, and i did 2 minor bends to it, though i may sell it just because i'm bored with it. Oh, and i got a job at a studio. They pay me a ridiculous amount of money to program synths.

As for MDA stuff, i switched DAW's to Mackie's Tracktion (which is stunning) and it came with the full sweet of MDA plugins...the leslie is insane, and i really like the simple FM synth too (DX10)

Cool, I want your job.

I was reminded of another page of free synths when I saw a video demo of a Jen SX1000 today:

The one called leto is an SX1000 emu. It's a fun one. They're all made on SE.

Here's the video that sparked my rememory:

just to add on the smartelectronix tip, might as well mention the main page:
http://www.smartelectronix.com/

of note is antti's page with a Moog vst and Taurus vst as well:




the Taurus vst makes me want to shell out for one of those Roland PK5 pedalboards.

[Chaorta]

Yah i've got Taurus...the world "Balls" comes to mind.

I have Asynth but I don't think I have ever touched it. Chock it up to over saturation of the VST folder-itis. I'll have to instantiate that one some time soon.

Ha, great thread! One of my favorite plugins is dfx Buffer Override, also from the smartelectronix guys. http://destroyfx.smartelectronix.com/

Especially funny to set the LFO's to random.

Sorry if YMCK's magical 8-bit VST plug has already been posted on this thread. Even if it has been, check it out again!
