Free as in cost, code or both?Whether CLAP or VST etcetera, what's your favorite FREE software synth, old or new?
please list up to 7
I'm just getting back into music, so I'm less sure/experienced (and so might get back to you later), but one synth that I really liked some years ago that was free as in cost if maybe not code was Seismic. Unfortunately, it seems abandoned and doesn't work in my new OS-- at least last I tried.
Arido's nice-- additive, with maybe something else, like FM.
Speaking of FM; MS-2.
And of course the recent actively-developed FLOSS Terrain synth.
Lots more in KVR's list that you might want to explore for yourself of course, along with the usual that people tend to list, like SurgeXT, Dexed, Odin2 or Vital, but if you like larger, more do-it-all synths, maybe like those, check out The Usual Suspects' offerings, specifically perhaps, OsTIrus... and/or Vast Dynamics' 4-OSC wavetable, Vaporizer2 and/or even Sunvox, that runs on 'anything'.
...Monique, that's recently been released as FLOSS and might be managed/dev'ed by The Surge Team, sounds interesting too.
