Firebird uses a unique synthesis architecture to deliver next-generation sounds.
Its innovative user interface provides you with the tools to create impressive sounds with a minimal amount of effort. Featuring an impressive selection of 437 build-in sounds, representing both highly sought-after VA sounds, as well as sounds more specific to Firebird and characterized by its Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis, breathing both life and dynamics into the sounds.
Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis is based on a large, expandable repertoire of standard waves, like saw, pulse, as well as more complex wave material, like multi-waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos and voice samples. These waves are modified in real-time, by for example transposing the wave by one or two octaves and adding it to the original wave, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, compressing or even expanding the frequency domain of the spectrum. Making the wave for example sound more fat using only one oscillator, transforming each wave into a hyper-wave or selecting some cycles of a sample and moving through them over time (comparable to wavetable synthesis). Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (remember: using only one oscillator!) With a total of more than 18,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation, Firebird+ gives an almost unlimited amount of timbres to experiment with.

Some Vsts are indispensable to make music: this is one of them. I use it very often because it's very easy to use (great for beginners) and has an intuitive GUI. You can make just about any possible sound with it and it has a great arpeggiator. Definitely a must have!

Amazing modern-sounding supersaws with this one!
Before trying this even just want to state you should first cut a separate folder before hitting the .exe as it will set the folder it is installed to to strip admin approval. Youre going along installing vst dlls and every one requires admin conf before this, then after this every one just slides in. Had me hitting return unnecessarily. No big deal, actually if you installed it first to the main vst directory you would save a lot of carriage return admin aproval clicks.

Shockingly good ... and runs really well on Linux, using Carla or LMMS' vestige.

Amazing, good sound.
This is god tier. Get it, play around with the harmonic morphing content, and make some awesome sounds. It's like a normal subtractive synth on acid.
