MZTK (aka lazydog) has released a beta version of SIM3X, a freeware virtual analogue synthesizer in VSTi plugin format for Windows.
SIM3X is available for free download via Music-Society (3.6MB download size, 32-bit VSTi plugin format for Windows). Please note that you will need to be a registered Music-Society forum member in order to get the download link. The registration process itself is completely free.
The synth features the standard VA layout with the addition of a handy Randomize All button. It also features a useful OSC mixer section for quick and easy control over the available DCOs. There are plenty of modulation sources to experiment with as well, including a couple of envelopes, LFOs, and a selection of external modulation sources. SIM3X was made with SynthEdit and is only compatible with 32-bit host applications on Windows.
If you don’t mind going through the registration process on the Music-Society forum, then SIM3X is totally worth a look. It’s not the most powerful VA synthesizer out there, but it’s fun to use and also suitable for learning the basics of subtractive synthesis programming.
