VAZ Plus has been updated to v2 and can now be used Standalone, or as a VSTi or DXi. Enhancements include: better quality audio, polyphonic sequencer, new graphical UI, easy patch auditioning, IPS CPU load reduction and many more improvements to the synthesizer architecture.

In case you are unsure of what VAZ Plus is it's the baby of the VAZ family of synthesizers, in the creators words "VAZ Plus is the real-time software equivalent of an analogue synthesizer similar to the ARP Odyssey, Moog, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Yamaha CS-Series, Korg MS-Series, Roland Jupiter 6, SH-101 and TB-303 - to name but a few! It can be sequenced by the built-in pattern based sequencer (similar to that found on a TB-303), or by other sequencing software."
