2Rule has released 2RuleSynth, a free virtual synthesizer plugin for DAWs on Windows and macOS (VST3).
2RuleSynth uses three classical synthesis techniques, subtraction, FM, and ring, and comes with LFOs plus ADSR for every two independent oscillators. It has its own characteristic soundscape that can go as far as concrete music. Besides the familiar classical analog sounds, experimental sounds can be found by using the randomize button.
