Acrobatics has released Mate, a free synthesizer instrument for Windows.

Acrobatics Mate

Mate is a hands-on, simple desktop musicians friend, inspired by synthesizers of the seventies and eighties.

It produces original synth tones and reproduces strings, pianos, basses, organs and bells patches with ease, but it can also explore wild and spacey atmos using its flexible modulation options and smart programming.

Mate features

  • 32-bit ultra-optimized code, zero latency, samplerate independent engine.
  • All sample rates supported.
  • Each control is fully recordable and automatable in host.
  • Most knobs & switches receive external MIDI control changes.

Mate for Windows (VST) is available to download from KVR Audio as part of the Developer Challenge 2014.
