Name of VST: STS-33
This VST does: Strange sounds and atmospheres
Quality: Good sound quality, it is synth edit though so save often
License of this VST (and costs): Free / €25 / €45 (free version has a polyphony limit of 2 and can't load soundfonts, but still very useful, other two are basically the same but the €45 version has more presets)
Link to VST or site: http://www.hgf-synthesizer.de/se/STS/STS.html

I actually haven't bothered upgrading from STS-11 but it's probably better if anything <_<

Name of VST: Texture
This VST does: It is aptly named :p subtractive synth that uses a bandpass as its primary filter, has an interesting "metal" effect and downsampling, good for gritty sounds
Quality: good, again, synthedit though
License of this VST (and costs): free

Just wanted to point out that, for the first time in years, Synth1 has been updated again! The new version (1.09) can still be used to play tunes made with for example version 1.06. Some outstanding new features are the polyphony, which has been doubled to 32 voices and a nice indication of which voices are playing or fading out and MIDI In automation.

EDIT: Also, I have found a huuuuge collection of Synth1 banks

[Saga Musix]

Aaaand a bugfix (Synth1 1.10) has been released. Note that in the new version, you cannot browse patches from OpenMPT (or any other host) anymore by default, because it caused problems as it seems. You have to enable the "select program from host" option (registry write access necessary, so you might have to run OpenMPT as administrator) and reload the plugin to browse patches using OpenMPT's preset navgiator again.

Download link is no longer available, does any have another?

Here you go... Be sure to edit the synth1.ini file to reflect your patch / synth1 paths. Then, place that file in %APPDATA%\Daichi\Synth1 and run Synth1.

Bill Davies sort un générateur de séquences midi: Nova 3

The idea is that a set of rovers move through a matrix of cells until they encounter a wall, another rover, or an obstacle. When a rover encounters a wall, it emits a midi note corresponding to the row and column, then reverses direction. When a rover encounters another rover, both rovers are rotated clockwise. When a rover encounters an obstacle, the effects of the obstacle are applied to the rover which could alter its position, its direction, both, or neither depending on the type of obstacle.

HG Fortune sort un nouveau synthé: Serenity

Serenity - what it is and what it is not: This synthesizer is aimed to create various choir and string pad sounds but it is not meant
to emulate this or that vintage string and/or choir machine. Though you might get sounds resembling quite nice the flavours of the old machines.
Serenity is more about heading towards the future not the past of the old machines. So don't get yourself restricted in pursuing emulations
of old machines instead make use of the possibilities offered by this fully fledged synthesizer with filters, LFO, various effects and
especially the Twin Etherify effect to create some more stunning flavours to expand your creativity. In addition the internal waveset has been
carefully selected to provide you with a wide range of string, choir and vocal waves plus some more complex padsounds. Most of these waves
have been processed widely from prior versions and several new waves have been added.

Free version:
*3 voices
*no internal patch management
*no MIDI Learn
*no velocity control on Attack / Decay of VCF / VCA EG
*no SF2 Load
*less patches (4 banks), but a hidden easter egg gimmick.

Benedict Roff-Marsh vient de passer en gratuit ses SynthStudio Packs et PreRoll Recorder.

The time has finally come. I have had a great run with SSP but the time has come for it to cease being payware and to go free. For the next wile I will still hold SSP & PRR on my site and they can be downloaded free – with the hope some will buy some of my music or show their appreciation in some other way.

I really want to thank all the people who have supported the SSP not only in purchasing and using but in promotions and generally adding to the Pack. I value each and every one of you and it is with some tugging of the heartstrings that I make this move.

Please enjoy (or continue to enjoy) SSP I + II + II + IV + PRR
