TAL-NoiseMaker VS Vital

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

This was the first subtractive snth I got really into. It's so good! Matt Tytel also made an open source wave table synth called vital that I'm also in love with that you can find here: https://vital.audio/ git repo is here: https://github.com/mtytel/vital. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Don't forget Vital which is Matt's newer synth. It continues to be open-source as well. https://vital.audio/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months 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

Serge is great, but Vital whips the llama's ass: https://vital.audio/ There was a time when Sylenth and Serum-quality synthesizers didn't exist for free. Back then, shit like Serge and Helm were really the best you could rely on. Maybe a few free U-HE plugins or your DAW defaults. Today's producers are downright spoiled with so many excellent free options! - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Download Vital Synth from https://vital.audio/ and install it. It usually goes into some VST folder. Then point Reaper (under settings/preferences plugins location) to that folder so it can find it. Source: 10 months ago
