Download Kern a Free MIDI Controlled Synthesizer
Free VSTi : Kern by Full Bucket Music !
Full Bucket Music has released Kern, a efficient freeware virtual analogue synthesizer VSTi plugin which was configured to be fully controllable by a range of regular MIDI controller keyboards.
Kern (as opposed to pretty much all virtual instruments there) is assembled specifically in such a manner to be fully controllable by most standard MIDI controller keyboard models (for illustration, it is 100% compatible with my inexpensive M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 keyboard). It comes with a feature set which should make it possible to control every individual parameter of the synthesis engine with a MIDI controller. The plugin also includes 2 alternative user panels, with varying amounts of on-screen sliders and knobs.
