FutureBooster is a granular synthesizer for ambient applications. Implemented in the Max/MSP programming language, FutureBooster offers the performer or composer a wide variety of soundscapes and textures. The synthesizer can run as a standalone application or as a VST plug-in and can be controlled using a MIDI keyboard. As well, audio effects such as delay and reverb are available to further process the sound.
Regula:
regula is my retrospective of the va model and includes a distortion effect created by multiplying the decimal portion of the sample value. it includes my multitemperament circuit for 67 alternate keyboard tunings, including non-western scales.
irregula uses a 17-tone pythagorean scaling used for maqamat, published separately to accomodate the 'octave overflow.' note that a dozen scales within this tuning scheme are included amongst the regula options.

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!
