    This one looks pretty good. Are there any other standouts?

    I love all Arturia products. However I love what Gforce has done with MiniMonsta great layout and cool patches.
    However Arturia's Mini V has the awesome vowel effect! Where I've taken the late great Bernie Worrell's Flashlight bass patch and updated it with the Vowel effect it's awesome. The only thing missing from the vowel effect is a trigger mode so I can trigger a particular vowel to open up upon striking each note.

    there's a thread on reaper forum for freeware such synths

    --- Vintage synthesizer emulations ---

    Sometimes you want a close emulation of vintage synth hardware, to get that 'back then' vibe. Listed here are the ones that are actually very close sound-wise to their originals.

    - OBXD: a pretty faithful recreation of the Oberheim synths (it's a mix of several Oberheims so to speak) - https://obxd.wordpress.com/
    - Dexed: one of the best DX7 emulations around, does read DX7 sysex files - https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed
    - Mono/Fury: great Korg Mono/Poly emulation by Full Bucket - http://www.fullbucket.de/music/monofury.html
    - PG8X: very close emulation of the Roland JX8P, sysex compatible with the real thing - https://sites.google.com/site/mlvst0/
    - Nabla: Pretty close emulation of a Korg Delta string synthesizer - http://www.fullbucket.de/music/nabla.html
    - The deputy MarkII: very nice emulation of a 70's/80's string synthesizer - http://www.fullbucket.de/music/deputy.html

    --- 32bit only ---

    - SQ8L: great emulation of the ESQ1/SQ80 synths - http://www.buchty.net/ensoniq/#sq8l
