Elastic Osc - Updated
Elastic OSC has recently been updated to include 4 LFOs for modulating synth parameters. In this video I had a quick play around just to give you an idea of the sound quality. It’s excellent.
This synth is based on a famous Eurorack module called Plaits by Mutable Instruments. Sadly the company closed but the designer released her code as open source for other developers to use. Something of a gift to the community.

Sounds funky. I looked it up and I see you get one LFO for free and get the others for £/$/€4, which is fairly cheap.
I saw something about the latest Behringer synth that may cost less than some apps.
Oh my word, another thing on the wish list and only £55, which is around the same price and definitely cheaper than many VSTs. Serum and Omnisphere are in the region of 100s pounds to buy.
Dear Santa...
I can see they do various synths for under £100 so you could build a nice rig for not much money. Not sure I'd want to play those tiny keyboards though. There is something about real hardware even though the software is pretty good.
I always connect these synths to a bigger keyboard like the Arturia Keystep and you can switch MIDI channels at will in order to play across multiple hardware synths but then you’ve access to the filters etc via the knob’s, so can get into the performance.
That is what I would assume people do, but I guess the little keyboard makes it easy to experiment when finding sounds. I've not really played much with MIDI. I have a keyboard and an interface to the PC, so I could experiment. I need to get to grips with how it all links together.
I use Ubuntu Studio that includes a load of synths and I could get more for free. I just need the time to figure these things out.
MIDI can be a pain at times, especially when you’ve got a whole load of hardware connected together. I’m forever figuring out why one synth is receiving signal but another isn’t but it’s wired up.
I’ve never tried Ubuntu studio but nowadays more invested in Ableton and Logic.
I've used Ardour for a few projects and it's probably all I need as a DAW.
It is one of the decent ones out there that is for sure, great for recording acoustic instruments
I’ve got just the one LFO at the moment, good point! I need to grab the others.
