Aren’t all demos supposed to be free? In other cases, free software is dangled like a carrot in order to get your email address or to entice you into buying other products, preset libraries, add-ons, etc. Often you will follow a link only to find out that it’s a free “demo”. Some of these instruments were released as prototypes or were the early experiments of developers just entering the market.įree stuff is not always actually free. It’s been a while since I surveyed the market for free software synths, so I thought I’d give it go and see what’s new and what has stood the test of time.
