Synthesizers & Samplers
This category includes virtual synthesizers and samplers covering diverse sound generation techniques such as wavetable, subtractive, granular, and FM synthesis. Most resources provide extensive editing options for sound shaping and are suitable for both sound design and musical applications. Users of this category are producers and musicians who want to generate new sounds or creatively expand existing ones. Not included are sample packs and libraries, which are listed separately under "Sample Packs, Libraries & Managers."
