Software Synthesizers, Linux
| Software Synthesizers - Here you will find a collection of software based synthesizers which do the same thing as traditional physical synths, except they run on your computer. Some of these soft synths are completely new while others are replications of your favorite old synths such as the famous, fat TB-303. | |
