Free – X*ONE is a virtual monophonic synthesizer
X*ONE is a virtual monophonic synthesizer with one oscillator, one modulator, and one 12dB lowpass filter. Although the design is similar to Alterex’s ViCON the sound of this module is described as “phatter”. This basic unit has some tricks up its sleeve and is one of the core parts of Alterex’s X*PAND VSTi – that will be released next year.
Features:
- Modulator: low frequency oscillator and envelope generator (tempo synced).
- Oscillator: saw, square waveform and manual pulse width control.
- Filter: 12 dB lowpass filter with dedicated envelope modulator.
Arracis Gold VSTi Synthesizer – free download version
Arracis Gold VSTi Synthesizer’s most significant feature is the 4 x 8 osc step sequencer with adjustable gatelength + modulation on gatelength. With this step sequencer you can have a quite rhythmical output incl short blips (stepping among the oscillators in selectable sequence) plus mixing to the normal (steady) output signal for vivid Pad or Athmos. Thus it is easy to get really fascinating sounds even at the oscillator section only. In addition the 2 inbuilt filters provide further means for tweaking. Finally at the output section there is Spook fx and two delays in series incl. pan modulation for delay and direct out for stunning spatial movement in stereo. You might be amazed about the sophisticated sounds being possible with this easy to access synthesizer.
Arracis Gold features
- 4 PCM wave oscillators with 384 waves in 3 banks with mixable output in groups of 2.
- (User wave & SF2 files can be loaded too into each osc slot).
- 4 x 8 osc step sequencer with various settings incl. gatelength, hard/soft knob etc.
- Mixable output of stepped and normal (steady) osc signals incl modulation.
- 1 24 dB resonant LP filter with ADSR EG and Modulation.
- 1 12 dB resonant HP filter with ADSR EG and Modulation.
- Filter bypass + modulation.
- 1 Bass Enhance.
- 1 Spook Fx.
- 2 Delays in series.
- 3 Pan (direct, delay 1 and delay 2) incl. modulation.
- 6 LFO + 1 S&H as mod sources.
- 6 Lazy Buttons (use ‘All’ for limitless patch switching ;-).
- 10 voices.
- Key Velocity on Amp, LP & HP Cut, and Filter bypass.
Arracis Gold Pro is available as a VST instrument plug-in for Windows PC for 29 EUR.
A free version is available for download. It differs from the Pro version in that it has only 128 waves per oscillator, three voices, sf2 and wave load for osc 1 & 2.
Vertigo
DiscoDSP has finally released a Mac version of its virtual synth Vertigo.
Vertigo is a 256 oscillators additive synth with resynthesis and sound morphing. It imports WAV audio and PNG images and offers a very accurate recreation of complex musical phrases, drumloops, speech and simple tones. The full version includes 128 presets.
Additive synthesizer, able to import WAV and PNG files into two morphable layers, each with up to 256 oscillators.

New free VSTs from Synthgeak and free Reason Refills
Synthgeek has released the SG-WSS1, SG-APCX and SG-APC1, three free virtual synthesizer plug-ins for Windows.
SG-WSS1, SG-APCX and SG-APC1 details
- SG-WSS1 — The “WSS” stands for Wave Shaping Synth. This is a subtractive synth based on an idea inspired by my K2000. By no means an emulation, it merely makes use of waveshaping techniques similar to a couple of the K2000’s DSP algorithms. Think VA with a twist, and some nice modulation options.
- SG-APCX — This is an expanded version of the APC1 synth found below, including more filter options, distortion, and modulation via 3 LFO’s & 3 step sequencers. Think of it as a groovebox for crazy synth fx. It can also be coerced into lo-fi squelchy bassline territory, though due to it’s nature, tuning can be tricky.
- SG-APC1 — A rather simple noise machine inspired by the Kaustic Machines Atari Punk Console. Best when tweaked or automated, as otherwise it just puts out a steady tone. Includes a basic on-off MIDI gate and a highpass filter for added usefulness.
Synthgeek’s VST plug-ins are available as freeware for Windows PC – Download them here >>

SHEPPi Spatial Enhancer – free download
Dallas Hodgson / Open Ambience Project has announced the release o SHEPPi (Stereo Haas Effect Ping Pong Inverter), a stereo image enhancement tool modeled after the K-Stereo Ambience Processor by Algorithmix.
SHEPPi imparts a subtle, natural sense of space thanks to a combination of EQ’able synthetic early reflections, M-S widening and inverted stereo delay feedback.
This plug-in has been enhanced for both track insert as well as aux send applications, making it an excellent tool for both mastering and stereoizing purposes.
SHEPPi is available as a VST effect plug-in for Windows and it is free
TransGainer from Voxengo
Voxengo has released TransGainer — an audio plug-in suitable for a wide range of professional music production uses. TransGainer implements audio signal envelope adjustment algorithm that reacts on transients rather than on signal’s loudness level. This algorithm allows you to adjust volume of attack and sustain stages of any sounds you use it on. TransGainer was designed in a way to be suitable for all possible sound sources — be it individual tracks or full mixes.
Features :
• Transient stage loudness adjustments
• Sustain stage loudness adjustments
• Transient-to-transient time control
• Multi-channel processing
• Internal channel routing
• Channel grouping
• Mid/side processing
• Up to 8x oversampling
• 64-bit floating point processing
• Preset manager
• Undo/redo history
• A/B comparisons
• Contextual hint messages
TransGainer is available for both Mac (VST, AU) and PC (VST).
Free Industrial Distortion VST
NoiseSoft have released their first effect plug in – Hard Line industrial distortion. They say that it’s a custom noise based distortion effect that will take your sound from a clean ‘natural’ gain to an extreme level of distortion that simulates a white noise waveform at it’s highest setting.
The plug-in has a single knob design:
- GAIN: Lowest setting is pure bypass, highest setting is extreme distortion, almost to the point of white noise.

- Bit crusher.
- Lowpass filter.
- Volume envelope.
- Two LFO’s with 32 output destinations each.
