I like to support coders etc. and do, but I'm tapped out right now.
So I've installed VST ver. ZynAddSubFX VST v2.4.1.523beta
I assume this is the latest version I don't have to pay at least $45 for (while I'm genuinely struggling) or that won't go silent after 10 minutes?
Thank you

- Allow cc_latency = 0 (in cfg file); do not use midiQ anymore;
- Allow midi events "max_events" (in cfg file) up to 10000
Details about the release:
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1. 521 beta VST VDX version (Oct 18th, 2020)
- Automation bug-fix with "getparam" (allows feedback to automation host)
- Fixed zombie process remaining in some hosts
- Some new patches
Details about the release:
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1. 519 beta VST VDX version (Aug 1st, 2020)

- Fixed "note stealing" and correcting polyphony.
Details about the release:
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1. 517 beta VST VDX version (Aug 1st, 2020)
- Smoothing: PitchBend and CC transitions
- Added cfg option "cc_latency" in milliseconds, for smoothing purposes.
Set this to 1 to have the same behavior as in a previous release
Recommended value: 52ms
- Settings window now correctly displays host sample rate
Details about the release:
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1. 515 beta VST VDX version (June 14th, 2020)
- Fixed "again" right/left panning
- Major change in the Midi implementation (adapted architecture more to the VST standard)
- Midi sync fix with large buffer sizes
- Fixed another preset browser bug (which allowed to cfg file to pile up)
- Properly fixed interaction between 'max_voices' and Virtual Keyboard
- Should in theory work well now with any buffer size (doesn't require fixed buffers anymore).
- Added the option to change the default state of the mod-wheel via the cfg file.
- Optimize note stealing (implemented fade-out)
- Removed clicks when number of voices is close to max_voices
- Bug fix: Reduced overall latency by 1 buffer (now has zero latency when used as FX)
Details about the release:
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.510beta VST VDX version (May 30th, 2018)
- Fixed random crashes when pushing the 'Panic' button
- Fixed random crashes when changing presets
- Fixed random crashes when loading presets from the instruments menu
- Added .cfg option for "max_voices". Recommended value 15.
This dramatically improves CPU usage for patches with long trailing sounds.
Details about the release:
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.505beta VST VDX version (February 4, 2018)
based on linux codebase Version 2.4.1 Pre
- Fixed stereo (default)
- Fixed stereo swap switch
- To sync to host tempo use this formula:
- Delay param = 5080 / HOST BPM => synced to 1 beat
- If you want to sync to a quarter note divide upper calculation by 4
- Increased Polyphony to 64 to 128.
- Increased polyphony may be required due to the modification of the floor of the amplitude envelopes. At -100dB it take a long time until a voice is removed, so the CPU usage has increased and it is more likely that long release notes don't die soon enough because they don't reach the -100dB floor soon enough.
- Fixed crash if AddSynth voice is turned to mono
- Other minor bugs
- Some new banks gathered
Change log (2.4.1.496beta)
based on linux codebase Version 2.4.1 Pre (May 2, 2010) - http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/news.html
- Fixed the microtonal component to properly save / load parameters with the host.
- new default Amplitude Envelopes: min db = - 100dB (configurable in the cfg file)
- new configurable 'attack_start_db' setting in the .cfg file
(for compatibility with older patches, so as to not introduce latency, default -40dB)
- Provided Patch Converter utility (make sure to backup patches just in case)
- Modified all included patches to work with the new envelopes (min -100dB)
- If you wish to revert to the old amplitude envelopes, set:
<par name="min_envelope_db" value="-40"/>
<par name="attack_start_db" value="-40"/>
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.493beta VST VDX version
based on linux codebase Version 2.4.1 Pre (May 2, 2010) - http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/news.html
- Fixed some GUI issues with assigning controls (sometimes a knob would freeze if it were automated / midi assigned)
- Fixed automation routines
- implemented beginEdit and endEdit functions
- Knob automation no longer writes indefinitely (stops when user releases mouse button)
- Host should know now when it's possible to make Zyn read automation
- To add a knob to the list of automation parameters add it in the MIDI window with CTRL=0
- Zyn now knows where it is placed: making a default folder C:\ZynAddSubFX is no longer necessary
- Zyn will always write its .cfg file in the same folder as the .dll
- At first run, it will complain it does not find it, but then will write a default cfg.
- Zyn now looks for the 'banks' folder in the same folder as the .dll
- Alternative banks folders can be assigned in the settings tab / or .cfg file. Note that relative paths are not allowed.
- The .dll and the banks folder can now stay in any folder
- Fixed a problem with the envelopes (min -40dB updated to -80dB)
- Fixed a bug (or a feature?) that sounds woudn't decay right (fixed transition from low volume sound to no sound)
Note:
* this version is missing the following features from the latest linux build (Version 2.4.3 codebase):
- NO spike / circle waveform
- NO midi aftertouch support
- NO midi bank select
- same old subsynth (no optimizations)
=========
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.470beta VST VDX version
- REWRITTEN FROM SCRATCH THE ENTIRE THREADING MODEL
- I'd say this is quite an important update, and a step forward towards the stability of this VST.
- Tested with no issues (so far) in latest Renoise demo ;)
(all below, hopefully for real this time :D)
- A (much) more stable GUI (hopefully)
- Fixed GUI corruption when moving windows, opening, closing
- Fixed GUI corruption with file browser
- Fixed GUI corruption in Resonance Window (when drawing by hand)
- Fixed GUI corruption when editing harmonics
- Fixed some multiple instance bugs
- Fixed Multithreading race condition bugs
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.460beta VST VDX version
- Completely removed the GUI interaction artifacts between Zyn and the Host
(no more weird mouse behavior when Zyn GUI is ON)
- Should be useable now on more hosts...
- No need for wrapper anymore
- Modified internal threading mechanisms
- !! Made ADDITIONAL THREAD to separate GUI from the Sound Generation Thread
- Added option (check settings) to have all Zyn's windows On Top of the host (default is activated)
- Added option NOT to use the new GUI thread (use old style GUI, with known issues, if for some reason the new mode is not working properly - default is inactivated)
- If you choose to have Zyn's windows on top of the host, all tooltips will NOT be shown (technical FLTK reasons...)
- If you wish to see the tooltips, please deactivate the option.
====================================
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.454beta VST VDX version
- Hopefully no more loud bursts of sound!!
- Changed the way sounds is shut off when changing presets
- Changed the way the sound is updated in realtime when the oscillator is edited in realtime
- Fixed crashing GUI on multiple open xmz dialogs *really, really* this time :D :D :D
- Fixed the save xmz dialog (the previous version would have the save button disabled under some conditions)
- GUI Change: Now if you press CTRL and a knob, it will show the knob value, and you can also edit the value (enter the value manually)
ZynAddSubFX VST
ver. 2.4.1.442alpha VST VDX version
- Rewrote important VST<->host communication routines (to be checked if works on all hosts!!!)
- Fixed a bug that caused some patches not to sound properly. (try to load arpeggio1 in the previous ver.)
- Fixed a bug that caused zyn to crash when changing patches
- Fixed? a bug that could presumably cause loud sound spikes and other strange things
- Fixed MidiLearn automation bug to work with multiple instances
- Fixed MidiLearn window to refresh and remember the MultiCH settings
- Some very mild code optimization
- Fixed many many memory leaks
- Overall VST stability should be improved (hopefully by a lot!)
- Zyn VST should not crash so often anymore
- ...
- Zyn VST should not crash so often anymore
- Zyn VST should not crash so often anymore
- If Zyn VST does crash, at least it should be in the unloading phase... (yes, still a bug that is random...)
- Added inherently several other bugs, while fixing the above (use this with caution: this is in alpha stage)
ver. 2.4.1.431beta VST VDX version
- Added Multiple Channel Outputs (see MIDI window)
- Output1 will always correspond to the internal mixed audio
- If enabled, stereo outputs 2-17 will correspond to parts 1-16
- Fixed some memory leaks, and some bugs when cleaning up
ver. 2.4.1.420 beta (VDX Release)
- Fixed sample rate bug at startup (should get host's sample rate properly)
- The line in the cfg file
<par name="user_interface_mode" value="1"/>
is now working doing the folowing:
1 - default window is advanced window
2 - default window is beginner window
======================================
Midi Learn System:
- Notice there's a new button on the master window, called MIDI
- That opens a new window, where most controls can be assigned to midi controllers
- Click Acquire to go into Acquire mode. This will wait for you to modify a certain knob, or slider
and will add it to the list of Acquired Controls
- Each Acquired Control can be enabled / disabled
- The options are:
CH - midi channel to wait for (1 to 16)
CTRL - midi controller to assign (1 to 127; note that some midi controllers should be reserved)
MIN - minimum knob value (will scale midi value 0 to this MIN value)
MAX - maximum knob value (will scale midi value 127 to this MAX value)
- Note: if you wish to decrease the knob while increasing the midi controller value, just put MIN and MAX reversed (e.g. MIN > MAX)
- If you click on the description text, you can replace the current assignement with a new one
- After you've configured your list, hit the Apply button which should indicate parameters have been stored (by changing its color)
- The system will save the list of midi parameters assigned if one gives the 'Save All Parameters' command, via the file menu, and retreive it with 'Open Parameters'
Controllable parameters (so far)
- Global:
+ Part Vol, V.Sns., Pan (real time)
- ADDsynth:
+ Global Vol, V.Sns, Pan (real time, Global / Voice)
+ Amplitude Envelope (Global / Voice)
+ Amplitude LFO (real time, Global / Voice)
+ Filter Parameters (real time, Global / Voice)
+ Filter Envelope (Global / Voice)
+ Frequency Envelope (Global / Voice)
+ Frequency LFO (real time, Global / Voice)
+ Voice Oscillator Harmonics (real time)
- SUBsynth
+ Global Vol, V.Sns, Pan, Bandwith (real time)
+ Amplitude Envelope
+ Bandwidth Envelope
+ Frequency Envelope
+ Filter Parameters (real time)
+ Filter Envelope
- PADsynth
+ Envelopes & LFOs tab (same as ADDsynth)
- Effects
+ All instrument effects (real time)
I will probably add new parameters, in my next release. The problem is making some PADsynth parameters real time. This may not possible as PADsynth requires computationally intensive fourier calculations to build up its samples.
Change Log (v2.4.1.415beta):
- Made a lot of ADDsynth internal parameters modifyable in realtime (including base oscillator harmonics)
- Implemented VDX Midi Learn System (in order to assign most parameters to midi controllers)
- Minor UI changes
- Many bugfixes and many new bugs added (inherently)
- Export button in PadSynth now really works (:D really!)
Having said that, I need to emphasize that I need your FEEDBACK in order to make this better. As a lot of code was written, and this thing needs to be properly tested.
Therefore I ask you to test the new functionality and bring out eventual bugs. I would need to know how to reproduce them.

Hi. That is the latest Classic VST version.
Drawbacks: 32bit only (can be bridged by 3rd party tools), and can generate sound bursts if the host is trying to apply multi-core optimizations. If you experience sound bursts please try to disable multicore processing for this plugin.
This is free, and will always be free. There are no limitations, and it will not go silent after some minutes.
If you experience issues, please feel free to post here.
