Helm by Matt Tytel
This was the first subtractive snth I got really into. It's so good!
Matt Tytel also made an open source wave table synth called vital that I'm also in love with that you can find here:

LINUX PLUGINS THREAD (2022)
Vital/Vitalium by Matt Tytell — a beast of a spectral wavetable synth. 3 oscillators, sampler, 2 filters, 3 env/LFOs, bunch of macro controls, great in-built effects (compressor, distortion, verb, delay, etc.), and so so much more. Hats off to Matt for this, this is an achievement! Vital is free with a "basic" setup of 75 presets/25 wavetables, there are also options for monthly subscription / "plus" / "pro" upgrades for more presets, skins, and other perks. Matt published Vital's source code but isn't accepting pull requests; Vitalium is a community fork of Vital.

It's apparently been open source for less than a month under GPLv3: https://github.com/mtytel/vital
As recently as the end of 02020 they were planning to not open-source it: https://forum.vital.audio/t/is-vital-actually-open-source/13...

I wanna get into producing
undertstand how to install VST (Virtual Studio Technology) download some free plugins. FREE ONES, NO matter if they sound superduper or not. just to play around and try to undertstand them. watch some tutorials how to set them up in your DAW. i recommend the Plugin Helm! yes not the best but for free and alot of options to learn from it. and thats what makes it great! https://tytel.org/helm/ . i recommend this heavily because you have some sounds to start witha and you can create alone with this one alot. i mean really alot. there are endless tutorials how to make some specific sounds with this. than you need to a drumkit. you can use helms drumsounds and so on. but i recommend to search for a better way to do drums. helm can give you good piano, bass, and so on. but take your time to find a drum plugin. after you played around with helm already.

Bojack's Roland Jupiter 4
Does anyone here have a suggestion for a really cool software synth (preferably free) that can do these kinds of things? I've been messing with Helm, Cardinal and the built-in synths in Bitwig Studio and have yet to get a satisfying result... Don't you hate it when that happens?
