The vast majority of synthesizers have filters and ADSR envelopes, where filters control the frequencies you hear in a sound, and the ADSR envelopes control when you hear them. So, let’s kick things by comparing hardware and software synths: Hardware Synths vs VSTs What’s the difference? Up to 8 oscillator, arpeggiator, Step Sequencer, and Mod Envelope modules, and up to 4 LFO, Shaper, & Filter Modules (And a lot more).Īllows you to build custom synths, samplers, effects and more, and it has a rack-style modular patching system. Standalone, VST 2.4, VST 3, AAX, AU, NKS, 64-bit only. Has all the original parameters of the Oberheim SEM : two oscillators, each offering sawtooth wave and variable-width pulse wave with PWM, sine wave LFO, 12dB/oct multi-mode Filter with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch, two ADS envelope generators, and some added functionality as well. Wavetable synthesizer that features over 450 presets, plus you can get thousands more which were created by users & the community.Įverything you need is in the main window (no menu diving required), and the UI is quite intuitive although all the info is there. Stand-alone, VST, VST3, AU, AAX, 64-bit only. Includes”.uhm” files containing scripts written in a proprietary wavetable generation and manipulation language let you write your own scripts. Includes 2 Wavetables with multiple waveforms. Quite simple to use and offers 4x multimode polymorphing oscillators, 9x unison voices on each oscillator, and more. Perfect middle ground between analog and digital synthesizers since it emulates 5 well-known analog synthsįM synthesis much more advanced than classic hardware. Here’s a table with my favorite Synth VSTs: Synthesizer In this article, I will be listing the best Synthesizer VSTs I could find, both free and paid, and I will also go over the differences between hardware and software synths, the different formats of plugin standards (VST, AU, etc.) and which one is best depending on your OS, and more. If you’re interested in plugins in general, then check out this HUGE list I created with over 600 plugins, both free & paid. I will also be including a couple of free ones as well as a link to a huge list I made about freeware synthesizers. Finding great synth plugins can be a challenge, this is why I decided to create this list of the best synthesizer VST plugins that you can get.
