Linda Audio has released Digimorph, a free experimental synth VST for Windows. Synth VSTs are often heavily inspired by existing hardware instruments and, in some cases, directly emulate them, like Vavra, a Waldorf MicroQ emulation. It’s not just free synths that often venture down the emulation path; releases like Baby Audio’s BA-1 are the same.

Arturia’s PolyBrute 12, Oberheim’s TEO-5 and Melbourne Instruments’ Delia were just a few of the impressive instruments on hand. It being Superbooth, there were plenty of Eurorack modules and bout…
