My new VST synth, Scythe, is free and available now. It's a port of my GrainBender iPad synth but with a somewhat different interface tailored more for VST. It's currently available as an OS X and Windows 32-bit VST.

key features:
- unique, intuitive sound design interface
- versatile oscillators with analog & digital waveforms
- extensive but easy-to-use modulation
- effects ranging from chorus and delay to digital grunge
- low cpu usage

I don't even have access to a Windows box right now, but the code should be pretty portable. If I get enough requests for a port I'll do one. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks for offering this for free - it's got a cool, fun character to it. Being a Mac user, I'm so used to seeing neat looking free synths all the time and lamenting that they're PC only - so it's nice to find one I can actually play with.

Everything in the sound engine is the same as GrainBender except the filter. This has a newer, better sounding multimode filter that's more versatile than the one in GB but the sound demos on the GB page should give you a pretty good idea of what it can do. It can do the usual subtractive bread & butter sounds well enough but it's really good (I think) for easily dialing up weird sounds and effects.

Maybe I'll put up a few sound demos on the Scythe page too.

Yes I'd like to do an AU version. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll put it on my list.
