I was never a synth. guy but do enjoy playing with them time to time. The number of freeware synth.s on web is insane so its easy to get lost but I got 2 which should cover most needs (cause most freeware do the same thing, only designed different). These are for mac and pc;
https://surge-synthesizer.github.io https://soundcloud.com/kvrosc/sets/one-synt...lenge-122-surge Currently most popular and under constant development. https://web.archive.org/web/20190331141735/...1969/softsynth/ Synth1 is older but still gets updates, follow the link for 25000+ presets; I like the fact that while most payware stuff is focused on dance/edm/hip-hop etc. these (although very capable) seem to serve a more universal perspective when you start browsing presets. They're also very easy on computer resources as they don't use samples. Also, if you find yourself wanting to get a bit deeper U-HE freeware is a good starting point (as a gateway to payware).

Cool stuff! Thanks for the share! My favorite price as well As reaper gets better and better I'm guessing they will start including synths and presets much like how LOGIC X has synths built in that have been absorbed in to logic over time. Also, having a big built in midi library is a handy think in logic and something that i'm thinking reaper may add as well at some point.

Can't believe I forgot about this one, the developer is a facebook friend of mine Great for beginners, preset based but does give some control for tweak. Free, the payware gives extra presets (very affordable). Synthmaster is highly respected in the software community. |
