Free Software Synthesizer Vst
As promised, this follow-up to the 10 Best Free VST Plugins list (that is, just effects and processors) is all about synths.

And some are simply streamlined versions of commercial synths.
Cherry Audio has released a free software synth, Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer, that’s designed to emulate the bizarre Radio Shack Realistic Concertmate MG-1. The MG-1 was Radio Shack’s attempt to bring analog synthesizers to a home audience, and it has some quirky features as a result. 12 Best Free Synthesizer VST Plugins Here are the Best Free Synthesizer VST Plugins online that can be used with FL Studio, Reason, Ableton Live, and other VST supported software.
