Classic synths meet a NSFW effect

The ElektroStudio range contains several free instruments, including the eSLine virtual string machine, the Mellotron-inspired Tapeotronic, the Rhythmus beatbox (pictured above) and the DavoSynth. As well as running as VST plug-ins, you can also use them standalone.
