NewModelOscillator by whitebox.
whitebox has released NewModelOscillator, a freeware FM synthesizer in VSTi plugin format for Windows (made with SynthEdit).
A 3 modulator FM synth with 8 dirty presets. Essentially an FX box with a synth inside it, NewModelOsc uses a lot of delay to excite the ears.
NewModelOscillator is available for free download via whitebox. The same dev has already released a number of (mostly FM) freeware synths, one of which is included in BPB’s selection of the best freeware FM synth VST/AU plugins.
For an introduction to FM synthesis, check out this nice beginner tutorial by Sound On Sound. If your nickname in highschool was Good Will Hunting, check out this advanced guide to FM synthesis by Barry Truax.
NewModelOscillator seems like a fairly non-complicated synth though. That’s great in my case, since I suck at FM synthesis. Will give this plugin a go later today.
