I recommend all good FOSS VSTi and Surge is doubtlessly quite a good one.

Featured in Lists

Free audio plug-ins for macOS (AU / VST)

Audio plug-ins for macOS that are genuinely free. Not trials, not time-limited demos. Not cut-down versions of a paid tier. Every entry here is listed as free on AlternativeTo. They install as Audio Unit or VST/VST3 plug-ins in Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reaper and GarageBand. Instruments and samplers come first, then effects and processors. Several also run on Windows or Linux; each app page has the details. Disclosure: I develop one of these plug-ins, StudioZIO Tempo Delay. The rest is other people's work, included because it is well known and actually free.

What is Surge Synthesizer?

Surge is an open source digital synthesizer originally written and sold as a commercial product by @kurasu (Claes Johanson) at Vember Audio. The synth uses subtractive hybrid synthesis and each patch contains two 'scenes' which are separate instances of the entire synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layering or split patches.

The synth is available in VST format on Windows, Linux and Mac as well as in AU (Audio Unit) format on Mac and LV2 format on Linux. It's also available as a set of modules for VCV Rack icon VCV Rack.
