Any plug ins / VSTs for a shoegaze sound? (Loveless / Pygmalion)

Vital Surge XT
  1. 1
    Vital is a spectral warping wavetable synthesizer with drag'n'drop modulation workflow and animated preview of the synth's inner workings where needed. Comes with many modulation sources (including audio-rate), MPE support and FX chain.
    Not a synth, but when I want to add that kind of dreamy swirl to things I use two free effects: OrilRiver Reverb + Acon Digital Multiply Chorus. Chained together on a bus so the chorus is only effecting the reverb, usually. I tend to use Vital for most of my synth needs as I have the paid version and it's really flexible and easy to use, but Surge XT is another good free option that's a bit more intimidating but is arguably more powerful than Vital. Also, the Tyrell-N6 is great for '80s/Vangelis' "Blade Runner" style sound as well as lots of other good stuff.
