KX77FREE has released KX-Synth-X16, a freeware VCS3 inspired VA type instrument plug-in for Windows PC.

Xavier Kalensky writes:

It is unusual for me to work on VA. But when Burnie asked us Nova and me to do a VCS3 plugin I was interested. This old EMS synthesizer is great with its modern matrix concept, its joystick and its possibility to do feedback patches. Nova collected some docs and Scot Solida sent to Nova his recordings. I used them to research the way to do a close oscillator simulation. I did a new filter based on the KX filter code. Nova built a modern skin. We did not built another SE clone of this synthesizer but added some great features on the original concept.

KX77FREE KX-Synth-X16 - looking pretty sweet!
