I'm really falling in love with the Ivoks Electromusical Synthesizer by Red Rock Sound. It really seems to hit that sweet spot between ease-of-use and complexity. Or, put another way, its design is simple enough that using it isn't a chore, but deep enough that you're rewarded for spending some time with it. If you like to twist knobs just to see what will happen, real or virtual, Ivoks should put a smile on your face.

Like the patches I shared yesterday today's patches fall into the realm of stereotypical 70s and 80s computer noises, so they tend towards a more raw, piercing sound. Layer some complex delay patterns over them and drown them in reverb to get something a little more suitable for more traditional synth roles.
If you're late in finding these, you can download all of them by clicking here rather than grabbing each individual patch.
