Another great Free VSTi synth - check it out...

Here's the SONIC synth from !J Developments - a free software VSTi - checkout the product info from !J Development... It's a dual osc synth with plenty of options, beautifuly designed gui, and it's free!... I checked it out tonight and I like it, beautiful little synth it is!...

OVERVIEW

"SONIC" is designed based on the plugin standard VST 2.2 (VST was developed by Steinberg Media Technologies AG). The "SONIC" synthesizer is a no

wavetable based (realtime rendered) digital simulation of an analogue subtractive sound synthesis. You can use it with every VST-host, supporting this standard.

We have not designed a clone of an existing hard or software synthesizer, but some of the "SONIC" voices will remember you to the great sound of legendary real analog and hybrid hardware synthesizers on the market.

The synth is single timbral (one voice timbre on one midi channel). The maximum polyphony is reached with 16 notes. This depends on processor power. You can also play monophonic (legato). The polyphony has first note priority. The output is pseudo stereo for compatibility to stereo insert effects.
