Chimera
Chimera is a free software synthesizer developed by Majken. Available format(s): VST for Windows.
Chimera is a noise-driven synth. All the sounds coming from Chimera are based on white noise filtered into notes using resonant bandpass filters. The result is organic sounds ranging from warm pads to atmospheres with elements of wind and water.
Features:
- Unique synthesis method.
- More than 50 included presets.
- Built in soft clipper distortion and 2-tap stereo delay.
- Wide range of modulation options with three envelopes and three LFOs.
- Cross-modulation with free routing.
- Freely assignable MIDI CC controls.

Charlatan
Charlatan is a free software synthesizer developed by BlauKraut Engineering. Available format(s): VST for Windows.
Charlatan, a freeware polyphonic, subtractive virtual analog (VA) synth with focus on sound quality and easy usability. It comes with a flexible, yet not overwhelming feature set which encourages artists to start tweaking instead of just relying on presets. Inspite of it’s simplicity, Charlatan’s architecture is flexible enough to create both classic sounds and rather experimental noises. While making no compromise about sound quality, the sound engine has been highly optimized for efficient CPU usage making Charlatan well suited as a “bread and butter” synth even in projects with a large number of plugin instances.
Key Features
- 2 oscillators with shape modulation.
- Oscillator hard synchronization and ring modulation.
- Unison mode with upto 7 voices and stereo spread.
- Stereo noise generator.
- 2 ADSR envelope generators.
- LFO with host tempo synchronization.
- 3 filter types modeled after classic analog hardware: 4-pole (24 db/oct) and 2-pole (12 db/oct) lowpass, bandpass.
- 3 voice modes: Monophonic, Monophonic Legato and 8-voice Polyphonic.
- Ultra-low CPU usage.

Charlatan – Time Capsule
Charlatan – Time Capsule is a free software synthesizer preset pack for Charlatan, made by Ghostwave Audio.
Time Capsule is a free bank for Charlatan featuring 90 quality patches.
Its concept is related to my love for cassette tapes: 60 presets for 60-minute cassettes (some of my Sony Metal XRs are shown in the artwork) in 2 banks of 30 patches corresponding to sides A & B and an extra 30-preset bank, The Lost Side.
This bank is very diverse and can be used for any kind of electronic productions.
You can download the bank on the product page.
If you really like this bank and would like to support my work, please consider making a small donation. This can be done from the product page.

Chaosorus
Chaosorus is a free software synthesizer developed by DocNashSynths. Available format(s): for Windows .
A ‘deterministic chaos’ synth which produces complex sounds by distorting the phase of an oscillator by deceptively simple expressions. The expressions are a ‘circle map’ followed by a ‘doubling map’.
When you listen to the demo audio files, note that there is no ‘programming of notes’ or arpeggiation or MIDI note sliding or any other pre-set sequencing going on there – even though it may sound like it! And as with all the audio files of all my synths, there are no external effects applied either.
Changing the values of the Chaosorus sliders results in a different soundset being produced by each key of your MIDI keyboard, but the soundsets are not ‘random’ in the sense that if you like what you hear when you press a certain key, you can repeat it by pressing the same key again. That’s the difference between deterministic chaos featured by Chaosorus, and dynamic stochastic synthesis featured by Blowfly – which uses probability distributions to create each cycle of the waveform.
