Recent improvements to OctaSine (free and open source FM synth plugin): new waveforms, pitch bend, velocity sensitivity and more
Since I last posted here, I've implemented multiple features for OctaSine, a free and open source frequency modulation synth plugin (VST2, CLAP), some of which were heavily requested.

OctaSine (frequency modulation synth plugin) v0.8.2: migrate from iced v0.4 to v0.6, other improvements
I just released version 0.8.2 of OctaSine, my free and open source frequency modulation synth (source code on GitHub). It is available as a VST2 plugin for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Is OPx-4 worth it?
Then I'd heavily recommend trying out a free FM synth VST before spending any money ;). Dexed is popular, but maybe a bit too much (6 operators), this one or this one might be a bit easier (4 operators) - and your DAW probably already has its own FM synth, like Abletons Operator or FL Studios Sytrus.

I just released a version 0.8.0 of my free and open source FM (frequency modulation) VST synth OctaSine. The main improvements are:
-
OctaSine v0.7.0 released (free and open source FM synth VST plugin for macOS/Windows/Linux) with major improvements
I would like to add it, but not having Apple Silicon hardware to test it makes it more complicated. If you create an issue in the GitHub repository, you will get an email if I add it.

OctaSine (frequency modulation synth plugin) v0.8.2: migrate from iced v0.4 to v0.6, other improvements
Most of the work went into migrating from iced version 0.4 to 0.6. This meant switching to pure widgets and the new, improved styling system, as well as rewriting portions of iced_baseview. iced_audio also needed work for compatibility with iced 0.6, most of which was done by fengalin.

Which GUI framework should I use for a cross-platform synthesizer?
You can use iced_audio widgets

New to lower level languages
Rust is quite well suited for VST development. There's a library for easily creating VST 2 plugins and you can use for example iced for your plugin GUI. In my opinion the Steinberg C++ VST SDK is bloated and cumbersome to use in comparison.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing OctaSine and iced_audio you can also consider the following projects:
packed_simd - Portable Packed SIMD Vectors for Rust standard library
ixy-languages - A high-speed network driver written in C, Rust, C++, Go, C#, Java, OCaml, Haskell, Swift, Javascript, and Python
vst-rs - VST 2.4 API implementation in rust. Create plugins or hosts. Previously rust-vst on the RustDSP group.
