Since I've been having such a good time playing with these free little
softsynth beasties, I thought I'd throw out some of my impressions for
anybody that's interested.
First off, there's ALOT of free synths out there. I think I've got about
twenty now. I'm running them in a simple version of Orion. Many of the
synths seem to be made with a program called "SynthEdit." This probably
(partly) explains why many seem to sound the similar. So far I've got a few
favorites: Evol, two synths by a guy named HG Fortune (STS-21, and
Protoplasm), and another called Synth 1. I just downloaded Crystal, which
may be pretty cool too, we'll see. I'm amazed at how responsive even my
SBLive card is. I haven't gotten more than a couple instances yet, but the
card is hangin' in there at 10-13ms. Kind of surprising for such dated
technology.
Well, just wanted to pass along some good gear vibes. I imagine most of you
folks are probably already hip to all this. The first synth I messed with
was an OB1 with four SEM modules, now I've got almost a score of synths in
one Athlon based SEM -and their all free! Killer.
