Hey, PitchProof is really a good plugin. I saw a demonstration of it here -->

It seems that it is able to change the pitch glitch-free in real time.

Retornz - ToneZ v1.3 VST2 VST3 - 64 bit - Win & Mac - Free
Free Polyphonic Synthesizer for Supersaws, Leads, Basses, Plucks and more.

https://t0nit0rmx.github.io/plugins/tonez

 

Freeware VST Plugin Brandulator is a complex sound processor that allows you to get quite interesting combined effects - comb filters, trance gate, vocoder, wah-wah, various types of modulation (chorus, flanger, phaser, ring, etc.). The work of this plugin is based on splitting the original signal into uniform intervals, in accordance with the tempo of the musical composition, to each of which a certain type of processing can be applied.

To expand the functionality of the plug-in, there are three individual channels of sound processing, with adjustable volume and panning, which allows you to create a realistic stereo sound picture. Each channel has 16 pairs of mode / key controls called steps. It is possible to set the parameters of the steps both individually and in a group method. Also, this can be done both in manual and in automatic mode, in accordance with the required harmonic law, of which there are about three hundred different scales in the plugin's database.

Pro Tuner is a precision tuner developed for the DisTOMPED plug-in,
but this is such a cool tool that it deserves to be offered separately.

Spoiler: Pictures

Pictures

 

Well, I went to the link and found a demo there with this picture:



Is that angry Britney?
Ok, they spent a time and efforts to make some art work, but showed us 2 crappy sounds only...
by the way, not only this developer makes so weak demos, even well-known ones often
make very poor presentations of their synths...
PS. I'm going to post some remarks exactly about synth presets and their demos (later)

 

This is GTG WS2 free synth (https://freevstplugins.net/ws-2/)




And this is a track where it’s preset (Noise click) is dominating:

 

With the VST plug-in SawSage, KEYS for the first time presents a self-made exclusive Wabetable synthesizer for Windows, which you can download here in a free lite edition. This synthesizer is suitable for current electronic music such as EDM, house, dance, trance, dub, trap and even for retro sounds.

The name of the VST plug-in is a portmanteau of the terms "sawtooth" and "sausage" and is pronounced just like the latter word. Behind the humorous name is a modern wavetable synthesizer, with which you can create your own wavetables and unique sounds. What is special about SawSage (Lite) is that – thanks to the wavetable synthesis – in addition to the 16 wavetables, individual waveforms can be drawn into the two oscillators to create new sounds.

Distinctive FM sounds and a wide pulse width modulation can also be implemented quickly. A lush filter section with 12 different filter types provides exciting timbres. The versatile modulation matrix, in combination with the LFOs, is able to liven up the sound. Inspiring sequences can be achieved with the 16-step sequencer. An effects section with equalizer and chorus is also available. SawSage Lite contains a few selected presets, but you can also create your own sounds.

Do you crave more? Then we can assuage the appetite with the full SawSage. It offers many other features, including four sequencers, 80 presets, and 48 user presets. SawSage is currently available at an introductory price of EUR 19.90 (until August 31, regular price: EUR 24.90) in the PPVMEDIEN online shop at www.ppvmedien.de/sawsage.

About synths (free or commercial – no matter):
developers should make a STRONG presentation with demo showing features of their product…but some don’t (as I posted above with Britney’s picture ).
Well, you’re a developer of a free synth, still you’re posting it’s crappy demo on youtube…as for me, if I don’t hear and see an appropriate presentation, I just pass by.
And this is how to do an appropriate presentation of synth (presets):

These guys produce the best synths presets as well as presets presentations

ToneGym launches free Chord Progression tool for musicians and composers

ToneGym has revealed a new online tool that enables musicians and composers to learn, play and create chord progressions online.

Chord progressions are played according to voice-leading principles and can be looped for online jamming and composing.

Chord Progression Generator features

• Extensive chord progression bank.
• Piano keys and guitar frets displays.
• Custom chord progression creation within or without scale boundaries.
• Set tonic, tempo, and playing mode (harmonic, up or down arpeggio).
• Chord progressions are played according to voice-leading principles.

The Chord Progression Generator tool is free, and available online from the ToneGym website.

 

aciddose - Xhip Synthesizer VSTi - 64 Bit - Free

Xhip Synthesizer allows you to produce high quality dual-oscillator polyphonic synthesizer sounds, similar to classic poly synthesizers of the late 80s. Strings, synth pads, basses, leads, organs, pianos, bells, vocals, percussion, sound effects and more are demonstrated in the factory banks.

Factory banks and a manual can be downloaded separately from the Xhip Synthesizer page. Please read the manual for the current version if you have not yet read it as it contains an important "getting started" chapter and lots of helpful documentation for non-obvious features.

Features:

• Re-sizable GUI.
• Two oscillators, filters, envelopes and LFOs.
• Oscillator sync and X-mod (FM).
• Both oscillator (supersaw) and voice level unison.
• PCM (samples) as oscillator waveform with looping and anti-aliasing.
• Ringmod, audio rate filter modulation and saturation.
• Per voice waveshaping (distortion).
• MIDI to preset parameter routing.
• Embedded effects.
• Detailed PDF format manual.
• Xhip was featured in One-Synth-Challenge #85. OSC-85-Xhip

http://xhip.net/synth/


Note:
Factory preset banks The plug-in does not currently install with any preset banks or other content. You may want to download and load the Xhip factory bank and Synth drums 1 and perhaps save one as part of your customized init state. Due to the fact PCM is saved with a state it means an init bank can include sample content.

Banks and presets

Factory
These banks were created by aciddose during Xhip development.

"Xhip factory bank" includes a few contributed presets.
This bank includes a wide variety of sounds focused on notable esoteric timbres rather than more basic sounds which are left somewhat underrepresented.

"Synth drums 1" implements every GM2 drum-sound.
The complete GM2 kit is roughly covered albeit with a synthetic timbre. The cymbals and some latin percussion are lacking; this might be improved with samples or layering

?. Please forgive the agogo. A demo of the sounds is available on soundcloud.
Please enable the drum mode multi-timbral switch to key-map the presets.

Xhip factory bank

Synth drums 1

 

A sound designer's dream.
A friendly, open community.

Featuring many synthesis techniques, a great selection of filters, a flexible modulation engine,
a smorgasbord of effects, and modern features like MPE and microtuning.

Surge XT is a wonderful tool. We love it. We think you will, too!

Latest Release: XT 1.0.0 (2022-01-18 14:00:11 UTC )

https://surge-synthesizer.github.io

 

Surge XT is great! Been playing with it since the release and highly recommend it to everybody.

It installs alongside the previous version which is a good thing as it doesn't clobber your existing projects. If you want to "upgrade" then you have to copy your old presets across, but this is a minor hassle.

I love it indeed.
