All the plugins were created with Synthmaker (now called Flowstone) and are 32-bit Windows only. Each synth's folder includes the original SM schematics so that people with Synthmaker or Flowstone can modify them for themselves. Most have an 'Info' or 'Notes' button on their panels that will display info on the plugin.
Thanks to the great work and kind generosity of Martin Vicanek, may of the instruments now feature custom-coded, low-
distortion, low-CPU oscillators rather than the stock Synthmaker wavetable ones. More are being added. The .dlls that are
suffixed "_mv" feature these oscillators.
These were created initially for my own use and amusement and I make no claim that they actually sound like the hardware synths they are emulations of / based on / inspired-by, for none of them use custom-coded oscillators or filters.
Jean-Michel Jarre summed it up best in an interview with Electronic Musician: "It's always a mistake, I think to compare the emulation of a synth with the real one, because by definition they can't sound the same. But it's great for someone without the original to get the feel of the approach, the concept of the synth, even when the result will be different in terms of sound."
A contributor to the French online forum Audiofanzine had this experience - (the online translators all produced some variation of this) :
"For the anecdote: I was able recently to try on an old modular Roland, thanks to the Kbrown plugs I was rather comfortable."
Because he'd already had the experience of using one of my Roland modular emulations, when the opportunity to use the real thing arose he was able to hit the ground running to some extent.
There are no presets included; I wanted to come at the instruments anew each time, as one did with vintage analog hardware.
Again, my aim with these was to create a free way to experience the interesting signal and control structures of these synths, not to fool anyone into thinking they are sound-alikes.

more along the lines of u-he's ACE, with most patch points in the sections they are associated with rather than
the cramped and confusing patch section at the panels's upper right.
Chorg PS 3500- (Korg PS-3300, plus some features from 3200) Ranked #49 in Amazona's Top 50 free vsts of 2017.
Now with new custom-coded, low distortion oscillators by Martin Vicanek.
Chorg PS-352 - as above, but with only one synth 'channel', though it contains two oscillators; rather like PS-3200.
copperHead - (~mashup of ARP synths). An 'original' design, a collection of features from ARP 2500, 2600, Odyssey, the
CMS 2607 and the 2600-inspired Macbeth M5. copperHead II has a single Multimode Filter patterned loosely
after the ARP 2500's 1047 Multimode Filter. copperHead_gx has oscillators patterned after those
in the Yamaha GX-1. Updated 12/18.
copperHead_2602 - ('deluxe' ARP 2600). Imagines a custom-built 2600 clone with a brushed copper panel, 'Bakelite' knobs and
solid metal toggle switches. Also all three oscillators have all the features of 2600's VCO 2, and both EGs are
ADSR. Updated 12/18.
copperOdy - (~ARP Odyssey). A fairly accurate and complete functional (not sonic) emulation of the Odyssey re-imagined with
a brushed copper panel, solid metal toggle switches and sliders with full-size caps. Incorporates a number of

additional VCO/LFO, Sampler, simple A/R envelope, VCA and a set of sixteen Manual Voltage Sources,
with activating push-buttons that also trigger the A/R or the main synth's EGs. Added 7/18.
Ele-mints - (~Macbeth Elements). GUI imagines a version with vintage Bakelite knobs and a brushed copper panel. Lacking
a few functions, a few functions added. Added 1/19.
ELK-Ette - (~Elka Synthex). Emulates two layered voices; no splits, etc. Latest update: 1/26/17
EML 500 - (~ElectroComp 500).
evol-Vox - (~DSI Evolver). Just a loose approximation of the basic synth voice of the Evolver, not the sequencer, arp, effects,
etc., all of which can be better provided for in your DAW environment - just the osc/filters/modulation architecture.
Oscillators 3 and 4 have different wavetable shapes than the hardware and there's no wave sequencing.
Updated 12/18.
eXpando - (~Oberheim Xpander). Just most of the core synth voice structure. Also available in a version with different, more
flexible oscillator waveform controls (eXpando_osc2). Latest update: 11/13/16
eXpando II - As above, with more flexible oscillator waveform controls. Added: 4/18
gM-32 - (~Moog Mother-32, plus Grandmother). An amalgam of the structures of the Moog Mother-32 and Grandmother. The
Mother-32 based section has had it's patch points arrayed across the top of it, like Grandmother; the patch points
placed above the functions they are related to. Each of the two sections has had a stereo pan control added to it's
output. Updated 12/18.
Insoniq EZQ-1 - (~Ensoniq SQ-80/ESQ-1). Wavetables not same as hardware - various Synthmaker wavetables. Simpler EGs.
Latest update: 11/30/17
Insoniq EZQ-1a - Same as above, but with simpler, analog-style oscillators and AHDSR envelopes. In FM mode, Both Osc 1 and
2 can modulate Osc 3 (two modulators into a single carrier). Added 4/18

Latest update: 1/3/17
Juan, Oh Juan - A Yamaha CS-style dual-line synth with each 'line' based on the structure of the Roland SH-101. Only the
functions and structure of the 101 is approximated; the sound of it's oscillators and filter are not emulated.
Lots of added features and functions 'revealed' by clicking on certain labels. Each synthline has independent
Tune, Portamento, Bend and Wheel controls, and is pan-able in the stereo field. Added 1/19.
Kroma flexPatch - (~Rhodes Chroma). Based on the core synth voice structure with 'modules' interconnected by cables rather than
by pre-fab 'patches' as with the hardware. More flexible waveforms and CS-80 style HP>LP filters.
Added: 8/18.
Luge - (~StudioLogic Sledge). Latest update: 2/2/16
'M' - (a tribute to the Waldorf Q [and partly, Pulse]). Latest update: 2/18/17
M-5600 - (~Macbeth M5). M5 was inspired by the ARP 2600, so this is done with a 2600 'Grey Meanie'-style GUI. Panel can be
changed to six different colors. Added 6/18.
Matrix-Six1 - (~most of the core synth functions of Oberheim Matrix-6, in the livery of Oberheim OB-1). Oscillators enhanced with
waveform cross-fading. Also available with two2-op FM tone generators in place of the VCOs (Matrix-SixFM ).
Latest update : 4/18 (Matrix-Six1 v1.01).
minDy - NO, it doesn't sound like a minimoog - how could it; it's made with bog-standard Synthmaker oscillators and filters. The
point is to have available a free way to familiarize oneself with a classic synth architecture and feature set; if the
day comes when one has an opportunity to play or own a Model D, one can hit the ground running, having already
obtained an operational familiarity. Includes approximations of the extra features added to the re-issued min D.
Updated: 12/18
minDy S - As above, but with many internal enhancements and optimizations by Spogg over at the Flowstone forum, also utilizing
some custom oscillators based on those by Martin Vicanek and Filter coded from scratch. Read included PDF to see
what work was done - amazing. Even includes some very nice presets. Added 4/18.
minDy 2 - Same interface and engine as minDy, but with many of the added features/functions of the Roland/SE Electronics SE-02.
Updated: 12/18
minimodular - (~small Moog modular with modules that reflect functions of minimoog). Latest update: 2/21/17
mOdyCat - (~Octave CAT), plus 'factory mods' and features/panel layout from ARP Odyssey.

OB-2 - (~Oberheim OB-1, with doubled Oscs/Filt/Amps, like Two Voice). Latest update: 5/18
Obie-12 - (~'Oberheim'/Viscount OB-12). Voice structure emulation only; no layers, splits, arp, etc. Latest update: 1/27/17
Obie 2V - (~Oberheim Two Voice). v1.01 - 5/18
OdyPatch - (~ARP Odyssey with patch cords; patch field inspired by Madrona Labs' Aalto). Latest update: 1/25/17
Polly - (~Moog Polymoog). A very approximate approximation! v 1.01 6/18

Added 5/18.
PPG 1022 - (~ crude approximation of a mash-up of PPG 1002 (early patch-cord version) and 1020.) v1.101 6/18.
Rolend Block-1 - (~Roland System 700 'Block-1' Main Cabinet). Drop-down patching. Also available is a version that exchanges
the Amp/Follower/Integrator module for a second Dual Envelope Generator. Updated 1/19.
Rolend Block-8 - (~Roland System 700 Block-8 'Lab' configuration). Available with drop-down patching or virtual patch cables!

Rolend Cronus - (~Roland Gaia). Just the three osc/filt/amp synthlines, plus a couple of FX. Latest update: 11/10/16
Rolend JP-680 - (~Roland Jupiter-6 / Jupiter-8 mash-up). No arpeggiator. Latest update: 1/3/17
Rolend PG-238 - (partial mash-up of Roland JX-3P, JX-8P and Alpha Juno). GUI based on the JX-3P's programmer, the
PG-200. Adds a second LFO. Additional Osc waveforms that cross-fade. Also available as PG-238s which
adds a shitty chorus and a stepLFO. Name is based on the names of the programmers for these three synths:
JX-3P: PG-200, Alpha Juno: PG-300 and JX-8P: PG-800. v1.01 Update added 5/18.
Rolend SH-12 - (~Roland SH-1 / SH-2 mash-up). Latest update: 1/19. Also available as a two-synth 'stack'.
Rolend SH-1200 - (~Roland SH-1000 w/o the 'Pre-Setting tablets', but with the aftertouch controls from the SH-2000).

101Max_s - " " " Dual stepLFO " " "
101Max_sh - same _s, but with addition of Ring-Noise S&H LFO and only one 2VCO.
101Max_3v - with three VCO/VCF/VCA 'voice' modules, three 2ENV-LFO and Mixer-Volt Proc.
Rolend System 101M_suite - (~Roland System 100M, modular; in 191J 5-module racks).

Upgraded 5/18 to custom-coded, low distortion oscillators by Martin Vicanek.
Rolend System-500p - (~Roland System-500 modular.) Drop-down patching. Latest update: 1/25/17
simpleONE - (~Moog One) A very much-simplified approximation of the Moog One. It's somewhat to the One as the Voyager OS
was to the original Voyager - mostly WYSIWYG panel controls with very little menu-accessed extra features.
Also just the core synth functions - no layers, splits, arp, sequencer or effects. Added 12/18.
S-One - (~Cwejman S1 semi-modular). Fairly complete emulation of features and structure with drop-down patching.
Added 6/18.
Skylab OS - Imagines a set of 'Old School' earlier-style Buchla 200 modules in a Skylab configuration. Latest update: 5/18
Slab 4 - (~Pittsburgh Modular 'Foundation 4'). A few functions not included, simplified or incompletely implemented.
Re-imagined with a copper faceplate and bakelite knobs. Also available as Slab 4b, which swaps the Lowpass/
VCA with a third, syncable Oscillator. Added 6/18.
Sovereign I - (~MFB Dominion I)
spirit of Spirit - (~Crumar Spirit). Latest update: 5/18. Much-improved, more complete, Vicanek custom oscillators and filters.
SubStick - (~Moog Sub Phatty). A very simplified (no sub-menu functions, hidden 'pages', etc.) approximation of the structure
the Phatty, but in more standard Moog dark panel GUI and coupled with an emulation of the Octave CatStick.
The 'Stick' provides two additional LFOs. Latest update 5/18.
Sub 88- (~Moog Sub 37). Called Sub 88 because not limited to a 37-key keyboard. Multimode filter. Basically a WYSIWYG
simplification of the Sub 37 with oscillators more similar to the Phatty. No deep menu-hidden funtions.
Added 1/19.
SV-Two - (~a pair of Pittsburgh Modular SV-1 'synth voices'). Second envelope added to both 'voice' modules.
A few functions not included, simplified or incompletely implemented. Added 6/18.
SynKie - (~EML SynKey). SynKey was an odd little single-osc synth that could add 12 higher semitiones to the root in any
combination for playing parallel chords on each key. A forerunner to aftertouch, it's 'Second Touch' feature could
activate the LFO, the Filter EG and a fixed pitch bend (in any combination) by pressing harder on a key. The 'Root
Oscillator cross-fades Pulse>Saw>Saw Up 1 oct>Square. Added 7/18.
Syntha-kon - (~Steiner-Parker Synthacon). Latest update: 1/3/17
Synthegrated 35A - (~Moog modular System 35A). Drop-down patching. Inputs have integral attenuators, so much less patching
things through attenuator/mixer modules. Serious upgrade from the earlier Synthegrated 35B, with
gain structure, controls behaviour and closer-to-hardware relative signal levels. Martin Vicanek custom-
coded oscillators and re-tuned SVF filters throughout. Rebuilt and re-named 5/18.
Synthe-System - (~Steiner-Parker Synthasystem 'Basic Studio'). Drop-down patching; a few functions not emulated. Also available
is Synthe-System_plus, which adds a fourth VCO, a second VCF and swaps the Voltage Follower with a second
VCA/Mixer. Also available with an emulation of the Octave CAT Stick.
Synthy P - (~EMS Synthi Professional). Osc 3 can toggle to a step LFO. Latest update: 2/12/16
SystemOne D - (~small Buchla modular). Just a rough stab at Complex Oscillators, but similar in concept. Panel has a hot-link to
Buchla's wesite. Latest update: 5/18
SystemOne E - (~slightly larger Buchla modular). Simple step LFO standing in for Sequential Voltage Source, random voltage
sources only approximated. Panel has a hot-link to Buchla's website. Latest update: 5/18
SystemOne G - Selection of Buchla 200-style modules that emphasizes variety of functions.
tableBlend - (~DSI Prophet 12, simplified - especially oscs). Latest update: 1/2/17
the KAT/stick - (~ Octave's the CatStick coupled with the CAT synth.) A little cheating as to what the stick can control as
the CAT only had a KB CV in and footpedal jacks for filter and VCO1. Here the stick can control either or both
VCO fr, VCO 1 PW, VCF and VCA. To replicate the pedal jacks, the mod wheel can be assigned to either VCF
or VCO 1 fr.
The Dodeca_suite - (~ Buchla Dodecamodule + most controls from the 221 Kinesthetic Input Port. Latest update 5/6/17
The Dodeca 258 - with two 258-style Dual Osc + a Dual Voltage Processor.

The Dodeca IIIc - with s 4-Channel Comb Filter.
The DodecaPlex - with two Complex 281e-style Osc + Dual Volt Proc.
The DodecaPlex c - with 4-Channel Comb Filter.
Latest update: 5/18
The Music Weasel - (~Buchla Music Easel). Step LFO in place of sequencer. Different waveform generation. Also available with
virtual patch cables. Latest update: 4/18
The Music Weasel_221 - Same as above, but with 221-style keyboard controls. Latest update - 5/6/17
The Putnie_os - (~EMS VCS3 'Putney'). Patch pins and all! No, the filter doesn't sound like the real one! Latest update: 2/12/16
The Putnie_2s - (~EMS VCS3 'Putney' - like above, but with 2 ADSRs and a step LFO). Latest update: 2/12/16
the simpleShruth - (~Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1) . So-called because the oscillators are much simpler than Shruthi - just the
analog-style waveforms; no scannable wavetables. Does include a few functions from Ambika, like four
LFOs and the third envelope. Updated 12/18.
twoBYthree - Inspired by Ableton's Operator hybrid synth, without the additive synthesis and this has three operator/oscillator pairs
in a fixed 'algorithm' (like DX7 algo #5) rather than four that can be arranged in multiple algorithms. In addition,
each pair has it's own Filter/Output section rather than all going to a single filter/amp. Oscillator pairs can each be
analog-type that are mixed together, sync'd or ring modulated, or can be an FM Modulator/Carrier pair.
Added 4/18
TwoSEM_stick - Oberheim SEM-inspired, with two modules plus my simulation of the Octave CatStick. Latest update 5/18.
Tone Boardz - same as 80-vox, but with emulation of a pair of programming 'Tone Boards' from the mighty GX-1, in place of the CS-80 VCO/VCF/VCA arrangement. v1.01 Latest update: 5/18
tonus 2620 - (~ARP 2600). Drop-down patching, otherwise very complete emulation of features/structure. Major update: 1/19.
v1.01
tonus 2813 - (~ARP Odyssey). With SubOsc and second LFO added. Other enhancements.
Ranked #44 in Amazona's Top 50 free vsts of 2017. Upgraded 5/18 with custom-coded, low-CPU oscillators
by Martin Vicanek.
tonus Explorer AT - (~ARP Explorer II). Includes several of the aftertouch controls of the ARP Pro Soloist. Latest update: 10/14/17
tonus Explorer AT+ - Same as above, but with addition of 5.5' pitch and replacement of waveform buttons with level controls.
tonus Nineteen70 - (~ARP 2500). Functional approximations of a small set of 2500 modules; several different combinations of
modules. Also available is Left Wing, which simulates the Left wing cabinet of Pete Townshend's ARP
2500 system, and OdyWing, which has modules selected to provide the overall functions of the ARP
Odyssey. Added 7/18. Nineteen70_m added, and Left Wing updated 1/19.
tonus ProColorist - (~ARP Pro Soloist). In place of preset sound tabs, most of the internal voice programming controls brought out
to the front panel. Many thanks to 'bluesmoke' for doing the param-naming. Latest update: 5/18
TriGoom - Inspired by the DIY hardware synth Goom, but with three oscillators and lots of modulation.
There are three versions - TriGoom b has a lower CPU load, but minus a few features, TriGoom osc2 has different,
perhaps less confusing waveform controls, but otherwise same features as TriGoom. Latest update: 1/17/17
TwoPro - Approximates a pair of current-issue Oberheim SEMs, with external CV input connections and several features and
functions of the Two Voice Pro (without the Mini Sequencer). Added 5/18.
Yumaha CS-153 - (~ Yamaha CS-15). Called '153' because it incorporates a number of features and functions from the CS-30L.
Personally, I feel the CS-15/30/30L to be some of the ugliest synths ever, so like copperOdy, I've re-imagined it
with a brushed copper panel and 'Bakelite' knobs. Also in a version with oscillators inspired by those in the GX-1,
and a filter like that used in GX-1 and CS-80 - CS153g, and CS-153k which has dynamic crossfading waveforms
and filters that crossfade through LP>BP>HP>BR>LP, like the ElectroComp EML 100. Updated 1/19.
Added 1/19, a version with with an emulation of the Octave CAT Stick.
Yumaha CS-35 - (~mash-up of various functions/structure from Yamaha CS-15 and CS-30L). Second LFO added.
Latest update: 4/18 Latest version: CS-35 II - in each section the two LFOs can be cross-faded.
Yumaha CS75M - (~Yamaha CS70M) in CS-80-sytyle GUI. In place of Osc's Saw and Pulse on/off switches are sliders that x-fade
(in the case of Saw) Sine>Peak>Saw>HiPass-filtered Saw, and (in the case of Pulse) Sine>Tri>Square>Pulse.
In place of the 'Chorus' section is a Delay with very long Feedback and up to 10 sec. Delay Time.
Latest update: 4/14/18
Yumaha CS78F - (~Yamaha CS70M) with second osc per synthline; no step LFO. Latest update: 2/3/17
ZMZ 2000 - vst 'actualization' of a hardware synth that was heavily promoted but never materialized, and may have only been a
hoax - the SMS 2000. Latest update: 11/22/16
Zoomchak - (~Moog Sonic Six). Named for the principle designer of the synth it was a slight modification of (MuSonics Sonic V),
Gene Zumchack. Latest update: 1/3/17
ZoomChak pro - (same a above, but luxed-out with far more flexible mod routing, envelopes and filter. Latest update: 1/3/17
ZoomChak pro II - Three oscillator version. Added 4/18
