The Cairn Zodiac-6 is a virtual analog synthesizer that can be used in any Windows host program supporting the Steinberg VSTi protocol for software instruments.
The basic design idea was to provide a classic analog subtractive synthesizer interface combined with a host of modulation options that are immediately accessible as well as easy to understand. (It really thrives when used with keyboard controllers sporting velocity sensitivity and channel aftertouch.)
All this makes the Zodiac-6 a workhorse synthesizer suitable for beginners, and at the same time flexible enough to produce a range of sounds that can last you for quite some time.
With a 24-page manual and 64 preset patches included, you can get right down to some serious knob-tweaking!

Curve:
CableGuys Curve is a free VST wavetable synthesizer. Programmed by Jakob Rang, GUI design by Kiritan Flux. Curve uses FFT routines by Laurent de Soras.
.. is a free synthesizer for your VST-sequencer.
- .. allows you to draw your own wavetables.
- .. has 3 oscillators (each of them can be set to one of four user-wavetables, sine, saw, pulse, triangle or noise).
- .. has two synced and two unsynced LFOs. You can set an LFO to 0.1 Hz or you can set it to several kHz. You can even set the LFO frequency to the frequency of the note you are currently playing.
- .. has volume envelopes, filter envelopes, ... in fact its envelopes can be used to modulate plenty of parameters.
- .. has 6/12/24dB-filters with cutoff and resonance.
- .. has drawable modulation matrixes. Use an LFO to modulate the pitch and you get FM, use an AHDSR-Envelope to modulate the filter cutoff and you get a nice filter envelope, ...
- .. allows you to play up to 128 notes at one time.
- .. allows you to automate all parameters (except for the user-wavetable and modulation matrixes) in your sequencer (Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase, ..).
- .. can be told to render bandlimited, aliasing-free sounds. But you can also turn on aliasing to produce vintage digital sounds.
- .. shows spectrographs of the wavetables you draw.
- .. lets you set snapshots of your wavetables for faster editing.
- .. is still in beta status.

Basic is what it says on the tin
It's a limited feature synth, with 3 oscillators fixed at pulse, saw and triangle respectively. It is loosely based around the SID chip famous for that Commodore 64 sound, although basic is not even as featured as that.
