FireBird v2.0 VST by Tone2
Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) Synthesis is based on a large and expandable repertoire of standard waves like saw or pulse as well as complex waves like multi waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos, and voice samples. These waves can be 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 expanding the frequency domain of the spectrum, making the wave fat using only one oscillator by transforming each wave into a hyper-wave, selecting some cycles of a sample and moving through them over time (comparable to wave-table synthesis). Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds. In total here are more than 14,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation. click here for more...

TAL-NoiseMaker includes new filter types as the self resonating 6dB low pass and a notch filter. Its improved amplitude ADSR is very suitable for slow pads as for really fast envelopes. click here for more...
GenesisCM by Ummet Ozcan
General features: 2 oscillators, 2 filters, dual sequencer, 2 LFOs, 2 ADSR output envelopes.
Effects: reverb, delay, 5-mode phaser, 3-mode distortion, frequency "Mod" (chorus / pseudo-bitcrunch).
Key features: Extreme 220 voice polyphony. Sequencer commands a dedicated ADSR envelope using individual or grouped events. LFOs sync to sequencer & have precision phase control & depth delay.
