This one may very well be among the best 2 or 3 free synths out there, and I include beasts like u-he Tyrell N6 or synth1.
It's definitely the best synth you've never heard of anyway. It's a truely modular synth, that you program by adding blocks and patching them with cables. There are a few dozens of blocks. The interface is simple and clear, but the controls can be small if you have a high definition monitor.
From there, it's only positives:
+ the sound is phenomenal, up there with the best free AND commercial soft synths. As for free synths, I think it beats all the others I've tried hands down, .
+ despite this it's light in CPU. That's because the engine has been carefuly crafted in assembly language, .
+ it comes with a great presets browser and an amazing library of presets, some of the best pads I've heard.
+ despite being beta, it's stable enough that I've never experiences any crash. Make sure to always use a limiter after it though, as being a true modular, it can easily spit out super loud sounds.
- it can be a bit daunting at first.
What's not to like, really ? This one was supposed to be commercial as it has commercial quality, but somehow never did. The author was kind enough to offer it as a freeware. Thank you .
Read ReviewWhat about this "new" one? Does it sounds well?
Hi wikter,
if you want to hear how it sounds: look at the KVR OSC Challenge here: http://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/osc-34-sonigen. There are a few sounds. My meaning to this synth: great!

I'm loving it. Soon it will go comercial, I wish the better of lucks to its developer, he deserves it.

Where did you hear this? Doesn't seem to be the case, the price is as yet unannounced. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=331316.
Aw, dude, where's the 64-bit version? It would be nice.
a shame... site offline, no x64 version and no reply from the developer when i wrote him last year and asked... hate to say it, but the thing is dead...
This thing sounds great and is so light on CPU it might even be usable on a ~2002 Pentium 4. It certainly allows at least 20 instances on a ~2011 Intel i7.
I've yet to really dive into modular sound design, but this is the most enticing offering I've seen. The oscillators and filters just really shine through, which cannot be said for many other synths.
