SuperCollider is a platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists and researchers working with sound. It is free and open source software for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Its three main components are scsynth, a real-time audio engine implemented as a server; sclang, an interpreted programming language acting as a client; and scide, an editor for sclang.
Element is a modular plugin host for Mac, Windows and Linux. It is used to build effect racks and instruments and to route audio and MIDI, running on stage or as a plugin inside a DAW. It is free and open source under GPLv3, with development funded by its users. It supports CLAP and LV2 alongside VST, VST3 and AU.
ArmorPaint is stand-alone software for physically-based texture painting of 3D models, running on the GPU. It offers a node-based workflow with procedural materials and brushes, edge wear, ray tracing and baking. Live-link plugins exist for Blender, Unreal Engine and Unity. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android.
Plugins4Free is an archive of free audio instrument and effect plugins. It lists plugins for VST/AU platforms used with software such as Cubase, FL Studio, Reaper and Ableton, and includes entries for synths, drum generators and other instruments with their systems, formats and developers.
Freesound is a collaborative database of Creative Commons-licensed sounds for musicians and sound lovers.
