Pretty much anything by TAL

For more suggestions there’s a big freeware plugin thread here:

There are a great many resources online where you can get a softsynth for less than something, but I usually find that you have to sort through a whole heap of bollocks before you get lucky and strike gold. For that reason I’m calling on you to post one or a few of your own favourites, so that other users may try their luck with them. If one of these threads already exist I kindly ask that you point it out for me so I can leave my contribution. Synths Helix (2 rec.) A very flexible synth. …

NI Reaktor 5 Player comes with a synth called Carbon 2, for me one of the best free synths available.

I am trying to get my head around Fuzzpilz Oatmeal as it seems it’s the most advanced free synth available.
Full of options, only a 5 mb folder I don’t have to install just drag & drop and its low on the cpu.
Also drawing your own waves is possible and it has the yet to beat random button when I look for inspiration.
My weapon of choice at the moment. What you might not like is that is already 5 years old.
From the more recent ones is Ts substance my choice. NIce GUI and clear sounds.
I use that one too sometimes.

TAL makes the best sounding free synths IMO. And for free effects I’d use meldaproductions free bundle.
