ZynAddSubFX is an open source software synthesizer for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows and is considered Free software.
For sound generation it has three hybrid synth engines that combine additive, subtractive, Fourier and other synthesis methods. No external samples are used to produce the sound; everything is done by synthesis. The synthesizer has effects like reverberation, echo, chorus, distortion, equalization and others, and supports microtonal tunings.[1]
The author of ZynAddSubFX is a Romanian programmer, Nasca Octavian Paul.[2] The project was started in March 2002[3] and the first public release was version 1.0.0 on September 25, 2002.[4]
A limited Mac OS X version was released by Ben Powers.
A VST port implementation is now available, being maintained by jackoo [Vlad Ionescu] on the KVR Audio Forums. [5] The VST version is still in beta development, but has been tested with hosts such as VSTHost, EnergyXT 1.41, Cubase and Reaper. The latest version features a 'MidiLearn' mechanism (which enables users to assign CC messages to various controls), and multiple outputs.

[edit] Sound Generation
ZynAddSubFX combines several different methods of audio synthesis in order to create sounds: additive synthesis by the ADSynth engine,[6] subtractive synthesis by the SUBSynth engine,[7] and an original algorithm used to generate wavetables in the PADSynth engine.[8]
