This was the first subtractive snth I got really into. It's so good! Matt Tytel also made an open source wave table synth called vital that I'm also in love with that you can find here: https://vital.audio/ git repo is here: https://github.com/mtytel/vital. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Don't forget Vital which is Matt's newer synth. It continues to be open-source as well. https://vital.audio/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Good stuff! I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano! A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Serge is great, but Vital whips the llama's ass: https://vital.audio/ There was a time when Sylenth and Serum-quality synthesizers didn't exist for free. Back then, shit like Serge and Helm were really the best you could rely on. Maybe a few free U-HE plugins or your DAW defaults. Today's producers are downright spoiled with so many excellent free options! - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Download Vital Synth from https://vital.audio/ and install it. It usually goes into some VST folder. Then point Reaper (under settings/preferences plugins location) to that folder so it can find it. Source: 12 months ago

I am a programmer by trade but don't often combine it with my musical endeavors. I briefly messed with https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ for live coding shows in college but honestly its very restrictive. Source: over 1 year ago
Also, a programming language geared towards music can help with process-driven composition. Max/MSP or ChucK for instance. Source: about 2 years ago
I haven't coded music in haskell, but I've coded it in Max/MSP and ChucK and I enjoyed them both https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ https://cycling74.com/products/max. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
