Free as in cost, code or both?Whether CLAP or VST etcetera, what's your favorite FREE software synth, old or new?
please list up to 7
I'm just getting back into music, so I'm less sure/experienced (and so might get back to you later), but one synth that I really liked some years ago that was free as in cost if maybe not code was Seismic. Unfortunately, it seems abandoned and doesn't work in my new OS-- at least last I tried. But I suppose one could run it on an old computer with an older OS.
MS-2 is fun, funky and relatively simple:

And of course there's the recent actively-developed FLOSS Terrain synth:

OsTIrus sounds great:

There's also Monique that's recently been released as FLOSS and might be managed/dev'ed by The Surge Team. Here's an older video of it:

Special mention would go to Uhhyou's work:

Lastly, if you get NI's Reaktor, you can download lots of free synths, maybe effects, at/from its online library-- an example I like, Aralsk.
