Platform/format: PC/VST Download

Another modular synth, this one has just been updated to version 2.0. Additions include a stereo SF2 player, MIDI learn, a new skin and a LP 18 filter. Improvements have been made to existing features, too, and Kx-Modulad still features the WaveTracer, which enables you to make your own additive waveforms.

Another open-source release from Christian Budde, this peak stop lookahead limiter is said to have a smooth attack envelope and an adjustable release curve. If you don't fancy messing with the settings yourself, there are nine presets to work with.

Cakewalk SFZ+

Platform/format: PC/VST, DX Download

SFZ+ is designed to do one very specific job - play SoundFonts - but it does it very well. It's multitimbral, has multiple stereo outputs and built-in stereo effects and looks nice too. Having previously been listed at $60, the price on the Cakewalk store has dropped to $0.00 dollars, so give it a look.
