TAL-NoiseMaker VS Surge XT

TAL-NoiseMaker and Dexed for synths and LABS Classic Synths for sampled instruments. Might be worth combing through pianobook if you want some more unusual sampled sounds, like Alex's collection of Soviet-era synths. Oh, and check out VCVRack if you're down to get modular. Source: 11 months ago

Https://tal-software.com/products/tal-noisemaker is a free and simple synthesizer, so is https://u-he.com/products/tyrelln6/ . Source: about 1 year ago

Both the TAL Noisemaker and the u-he Tyrell N6 are both inspired by the Juno 6/60/106 line of synthesizers. Both are free. Both are excellent. Source: about 1 year ago

I recommend to start with TAL NoiseMaker. It's free, it's well-designed, has a good number of presets you can learn from, and it's pretty flexible in what it can do. Source: about 1 year ago

Good stuff! I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano! A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

To get the equivalent of a symphonic orchestra in your computer, the solution is basically money; you buy the instruments you need. In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

Instead of Synth1, try https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ . It's pretty much better in every aspect except for the UI which is going to look a lot more daunting to you ;). Source: 10 months ago

For the DW-8000, check https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fb7999.html . Alternatively, https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ can use single-cycle waveforms (basically wavetables that don't change) which can get you close. Source: 10 months ago
