Mr. Alias
Mr. Alias is a free software synthesizer developed by Insert Piz Here. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows, macOS.
Mr. Alias 2 uses non-bandlimited oscillators which can be transposed near to and beyond the Nyquist frequency, causing most of their spectra to be aliased back into audible non-harmonic frequencies. The sound can then be further processed by a number of crude “effects.”
Though it is based on the same concept as the original, Mr. Alias 2 is completely rewritten for cross-platform compatibility, and has a number of significant improvements.
Some highlights:
- 2 oscillators.
- 18 waveforms.
- Full stereo processing.
- 6 filter types including a formant filter.
- Filter envelope.
- External audio processing.
- Patch randomizer button.
- Highly configurable MIDI control with MIDI learn.
- MIDI-controllable patch morphing.
- Drag & drop preset and MIDI map loading.
- Resizable GUI.

MP-1
MP-1 is a free software synthesizer for Reaktor, developed by Multiples Pro. Available format(s): for Windows, macOS.
We have gone ahead and updated one of our other synthesisers in MPBASIC, to the MP-1.
The synthesizer is broken down into 4 main sections:
- Oscillators – choice of 8, Multi-OSC from the original synth, Sin/Tri, Sin/Saw and Sin/Squ.
- Filters – 3 in total, 4-pole, Comb and Formant varieties.
- Distortion – 1 distorted filter and 1 waveshaper.
- FX – 1 compressor and 1 chorus.
Due to the semi-modular capability of the synthesizer you can choose which of these to use, opening up a wealth of possibilities within sound design.
Please note: This has been built with the most up to date version of Reaktor – Please update before using this ensemble.

Mothman Z3000
Mothman Z3000 is a free software synthesizer developed by Demonic Sweaters. Available format(s): VST for Windows.
Mothman Z3000 is a 16 voice polyphonic synthesizer that features two Phase Distortion DCOs, two DCWs, and two DCAs. All six feature the famous 8 point envelope section that made the CZ synthesizer so famous.
The Mothman Z3000 also features stereo chorus, noise and LFO just like the original CZ-3000. There’s also an added switchable velocity feature that gives greater expression than the original CZ, and an added analog style filter on DCA2 to give even more sound options. You can also pan the different DCOs to give more stereo fx.
Programming is very similar to the original CZs, the only difference being that on each 8 stage envelope there is a “scale” feature, which acts like a master envelope control to quickly lower or raise the length of the envelope all around without changing each one individually. The original Casio CZ-3000 Manual can be used to understand the concepts behind programming this plug-in.
There are 64 preset slots with 18 presets already created.

Mothman 2000
Mothman 2000 is a free software synthesizer developed by Demonic Sweaters. Available format(s): VST for Windows.
Mothman 2000 is the commercial version of Justin Robert’s Mothman 1000.
Mothman 2000 combines 3 forms of synthesis to create a unique sounding and easy-to-use software synthesizer. There are two main oscillators, the first is a standard waveform generator that has sine, saw, ramp, triangle, pulse, white noise, and pink noise. The other is a phase distortion oscillator, a technology pioneered by Casio in the 1980s for their unique CZ series of synthesizers that contains two separate waveform generators that each produce saw, square, pulse, double sine, saw-pulse and three resonant waveforms. There are VCFs on each oscillator and VCF1 features a dedicated ADSR section.
The LFOs are actually LFO/HFOs, low and high frequency. The first is connected to the Amp section of OSC1 and the second to the pitch of OSC2. At low oscillation settings they can be use for traditional LFO FX, yet at HFO settings they function as FM operators that can totally change the sound. Using this combination of FM synthesis over top of PD and Analog-style subtractive synthesis makes for some truly unique yet still musical and usable sounds.
Justin says that the logical and intuitive design make it very simple to program even if you don’t know a lot about synthesis. There are also ASDR envelope generator sections for each oscillators output that can allow you to create everything from huge warm pads to more staccato brass and piano sounds.
Upgrades from Mothman 1000 include a stereo digital delay, velocity sensitivity, slick brushed metal skin, improved performance, 64 patch memory slots with 32 added user memory slots, as well as new presets.
Mothman 2000 features 32 built-in presets with 32 user slots for creating your own patches.

Mothman 1966
Mothman 1966 is a free software synthesizer developed by Demonic Sweaters. Available format(s): VST for Windows.
Mothman 1966 is a two oscillator, two LFO synth that uses standard subtractive synthesis. It has three custom waveforms in the two oscillators – one is a “diamond wave” which was created using FM synthesis and the waveform image resembles a diamond; two is an 8 bit, buzzy and gritty, saw wave; three is a woodwind wave, used to create flutes and other wood instruments. The LFOs can be routed to either of the VCFs or VCAs.

Mothman 1000
Mothman 1000 is a free software synthesizer developed by Demonic Sweaters. Available format(s): VST for Windows.
Mothman 1000 is a 2 oscillator, 2 LFO, software synth that features a subtractive analog oscillator and a phase distortion oscillator. Both oscillators feature modulating LFO / HFOs (low and high frequency) as well as VCFs for each oscillator; VCF 1 includes an ADSR input section.
The high frequency modulation creates FM synthesis type sounds. Mixing this with the phase distortion and subtractive sounds makes for a lot of possibilities. You can also use the L(H)FOs for standard LFO fx. The L(H)FO on OSC 1 is routed to the amp section of OSC 1 and the L(H)FO of OSC 2 is routed to the modulation depth of OSC 2, playing with this can create very interesting ring modulation and FM type sounds.
There are 32 built in presets that range from warm pads, Casio emulation, metallic craziness, warm analog basses and drums. It also features an oscilloscope, just for fun.

Moselle
Moselle is a free software synthesizer developed by Moselle Synthesizers. Available format(s): for Windows .
Moselle is a software synthesizer that uses the “modular synthesis” paradigm for making music.
The new twist is that rather than connecting modules together with graphical “patch cords,” or editing some sort of schematic “diagram,” you use mathematical formulas, similar to Excel spreadsheets. These can be as simple as “Waveform = Sawtooth” or “Input = Oscillator2:Output”. But they can also be quite complex when you need complexity. (See the videos below, most of which show the entire patch you’re listening to on the screen.) A formula of just a few lines might do what it’d take a screen-full of photo-realistic reproductions of hardware modules to do. The result is that complex patches are far easier to write the first time, and to study and tweak later.
We’ve copied this from the evolution of computer programming. In the 1940s computers used knobs, buttons and patch cords that would be the envy of any synthesist! However, by the 1950s, the bottleneck of computability wasn’t the computer power or the programmers’ creativity, but the means of programming. Moselle makes the same paradigm shift in synthesis today.
Moselle is currently a pre-production release Alpha 5. It is available for free download from our website. It is currently Windows-only though a Mac version is planned. It does not yet run as a plug-in. Instead, it is a stand-alone development environment. Just plug in a MIDI keyboard, turn up your computer speakers, and patch away.
Several dozen videos are available on YouTube, that mostly show how easy it is to get unusual effects that would be nearly impossible on most other synthesizers.
