The 10 Best Free VST Synths In The World

But what these VST synths have in common, other than price, is that they all have a fantastic sound and great tone-shaping features. You can load them up in your DAW right now and give any of them a spin in your next production. You won’t be disappointed!

u-he TyrellN6 freeware synth

1. u-he TyrellN6blade runner, batty

Similar design to the classic Roland Juno 60, and awesomely named after the rogue replicants in Blade Runner…

Green Oak Crystal

2. Green Oak Crystal

Created by Glenn Olander, who went on to design Spectrasonics Omnisphere and Stylus RMX. No slouch then…

TAL-NoiseMaker

3. Togu Audio Line TAL-NoiseMaker

A great synth from the guys who brought us the TAL-Effects bundle I mentioned previously. Well worth a look.

Ichiro Toda Synth1

4. Ichiro Toda Synth1

This synth is modelled on the modern classic Clavia Nord Lead 2 Red Synth… Nuff said really :)

de la Mancha FMMF

5. de la Mancha FMMF

This FM synth, with 4 operators, is especially good for pads and sound design-y noises and effects.

Ohm Force Symtohm:Melohman Performer Edition

6. Ohm Force Symtohm:Melohman Performer Edition

A slimmed-down version of the original Symptohm:Melohman, the only actual difference being that you’re limited to presets from the Symptohm sound library.
But there are 1200 sounds there, enough to keep anybody busy for a while…
Available for PC and Mac. More info and download here.
u-he Zebralette

7. u-he Zebralette

Again, this synth is a slimmed-down version of a commercial soft synth – in this case, the u-he Zebra2. But the Zebralette is very popular in it’s own right, as it’s capable of making some pretty great sounds of it’s own.
Available for PC and Mac. More info and download here.
Tonebytes Bleep

8. Tonebytes Bleep’

Recreating the legendary sound of the Commodore 64 SID sound chip, this synth is an absolute  must for chiptune makers and anyone who’s into retro / 8-bit game style sounds and FX.
It’s available for Windows VST only I’m afraid. More info and download here.
Futucraft Kairatune

9. Kairatune

A bass and lead synth with an inspiring interface, designed specifically with EDM in mind.
