Tonebytes Bleep’ Recreating the legendary sound of the Commodore 64 SID sound chip, this synth is an absolute must for chiptune makers and anyone who’s into retro / 8-bit game style sounds and FX. But the Zebralette is very popular in it’s own right, as it’s capable of making some pretty great sounds of it’s own.Ĩ. u-he Zebralette Again, this synth is a slimmed-down version of a commercial soft synth – in this case, the u-he Zebra2.

Some of these synths are early projects from designers who have gone on to work for larger companies making some of the most high-profile VST instruments others are passion projects from solo sonic adventurers who simply want to share their skills with the music-making community. If you’re looking for experimentation or sounds you’ve never heard before, this should definitely pique your interest.As promised, this follow-up to the 10 Best Free VST Plugins list (that is, just effects and processors) is all about synths. Even anyone who just enjoys the process of discovering new timbres and soundscapes will be able to lose themselves for a few hours when playing around with it. Overall, Abyss is a fantastic tool for composers, sound designers and sound artists.
The synth boasts MPE and aftertouch functionalities, which give the user an expressive, tactile sound-shaping experience that also makes it a dab hand when it comes to performance duties. This allows you to drag and drop a selection of pre-defined ‘oscillator’ sounds from the edit panel, and to reposition those timbres over time in order to create evolving soundscapes. The UI is beautifully designed with cool interactive features such as the gradient slider.

It’s a wildly comprehensive, hella realistic virtual instrument for people who like hitting things with sticks but simply don’t have time – or a comprehensive collection of percussion instruments – at their disposal. The consequence of all of this: you can run two complementary sounds in one Chromaphone patch, each wielding a pair of resonators, a different sequence or arp pattern, different modulation and different effects. Modulation is assignable per layer, as are a choice of 14 effects, and the well-featured arpeggiator and sequencer. Instead of selecting a paltry two of these resonators to run alongside each other or coupled together, the physical phun is doubled here, as you select two pairs of them, with control over each one’s properties, and those of the mallet you’re virtually smacking them with.
