A closer look at Ultramaster KR-106
Players interested in Juno-style polyphonic synthesis and chorus.
KR-106 draws on the Roland Juno-6, Juno-60 and Juno-106 rather than aiming to be an all-purpose hybrid synth.
A hybrid synthesizer that mixes wavetable, FM, subtractive and modular-style routing, with a deep effects section and thousands of patches. One of the most complete free synths around.
Serum
MassiveA faithful six-operator FM synth modelled on the Yamaha DX7. It loads original DX7 patch banks, so decades of classic electric-piano and bell sounds work out of the box.
FM8
The VCV Rack modular environment packaged as a plugin, with a large bundle of modules, so you can patch a whole modular system inside your DAW.
Reaktor
A spectral-warping wavetable synthesizer with a clear, drag-and-drop interface, in the same league as Serum for modern wavetable sounds.
Serum
A long-running software synthesizer built on additive, subtractive and pad synthesis, known for huge evolving pads and a very large modulation system.
A semi-modular polyphonic synth with three oscillators, a flexible modulation matrix and a built-in effects chain. Good for thick leads, pads and basses.
