KarmaFX has released KarmaFX Synth 0.91, an advanced simulated analog modular synthesizer (available in Plugin pack 1.5).

KarmaFX Synth Modular 0.91b BETA changes

Changed the name from “KarmaFX Synth” to “KarmaFX Synth Modular”.
This seems to be what people call it anyway
Added click option to ADSR envelope. On trigger this forces a value reset
Added declick option to Amplifier (to support quick clicky amp envelopes)
Changed filters kybd tracking range from [0..1] to [-2..2].
Patches are now saved within the song in the host. This behaviour is turned on
by default
but can be turned off by unchecking “Options->Store Patch in Song”
Added Parametric Filter with up to four LP/HP/BP/BR/PEAK/LS/HS filters in series
with
adjustable frequency, resonance/bandwith, gain, modulation, and order
One control id can now be assigned to several knobs. The controllers name
is set to the first assigned knob.
When controlling more than one knob this is
indicated by a plus sign next to the controller’s name
GUI: Added control panel. From the control panel it is possible to change the
main volume, browse and store patches,
change bank as well as patch properties.
The 32 assignable controllers are shown in sets of 8 knobs.
Optionally, each
controller can be assigned to a unique midi control. The midi assignments
are saved
in the registry and thus only need to be setup once.
Added 4 new algorithms to reverb module (adapted from KarmaFX Reverb)
Added Midi CC support for patch changes (warning: not tested much)
Started SSE optimization of selected tasks. Mainly mixing for now
GUI: Added extra gui gfx to step sequencer to make it easier to understand
GUI: Double clicking on a handle in the step sequencer now resets its offset
GUI: Dragging an env/step handle while holding SHIFT limits movement to x-axis
GUI: All buttons now execute their function on mouse button release instead of press
GUI: Double clicking on the background now brings up the “Add component” submenu
GUI: Right clicking on wire-arrows now removes the wire
GUI: Added sample browsing to the sampler module. When loading a new sample
the synth remembers
the sample’s folder. Clicking the up or down arrows next to
the sample display loads the previous/next sample
(alphabetically) in the
same folder
Bugfix: choosing New Patch->Simple Sampler now actually creates a Sampler
Bugifx: Patch names are now stripped to avoid invalid filenames and resulting crashes
Bugfix: Bypassing components in hosts with variable buffer sizes now doesn’t
result in random noise
Bugfix: Step and Envelope display was updated every frame. Fixed
Bugfix: “Synth FX” was in some hosts wrongly given the “Synth”‘s VST id. Fixed
Bugfix: Midi handling fixes. Polyphonic notes don’t seem to hang anymore
Bugfix: In some hosts the reset caused by pressing stop/play in the host
caused the first note to dissappear.
To fix it output has been offset by one sample
Bugfix: Output clip range adjusted
Updated and adapted patches to the new control panel + Added a few new ones
