Softsynths aren't exclusively VST. Shocking I know. VSTi were only introduced with the VST 2.0 PlugIn Specification released in January, 1999.

Games had soft synths in them way before dedicated audio apps...what was the first soft synth? anyone know? maybe the first home computer that had a sound circuit?

My old Apple IIE+ had a SAM card (Voice Synthesis) that wasn't half bad considering the age of the computer.

Technically speaking, any software capable of synthesizing audio would count, so that would go back the Music-N languages and the like from the late 50s.

Vintage softsynths vs "modern" ones
