Homegrown Sounds has released Astralis Baby Bion, a freeware VST instrument for Windows PC.
Baby Bion is a lightweight Synth using the Oscillator from the forthcoming Astralis Bion.

Baby Bion adds a Synth to create the Sound Source, as well as Flanger/Filter, a complex LFO and a couple of 32 stage Envelopes.
