I really like this little synth. I'm a preset user and realize those of you who know how to tweak synths have completely different (higher) standards than me, but I think this is a great little freebie. It's nowhere even approaching something like Vital, but it still has some really nice patches it makes and comes up with randomly and it's free, so I would consider it a no-brainer. Just download it and try it out, friends.

The free Tone2 NanoHost has a random patch generator built-in to the menu, that can randomize any hosted VST2 synth's preset. Results can vary and are experimental (may crash), but I have found that it works fairly well with the free  OB-Xd from DiscoDSP. https://www.tone2.net/nanohost.html

https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/ OB-Xd Desktop is free for non-commercial use.
Buying a license removes this restriction. $49.

Here's a few other synths that have built-in randomization, but not free:

  • Tone2 Warlock. My favorite! Very cool random generator! $69 https://www.tone2.net/warlock.html
  • AIR Loom II. Another favorite! Sometimes for sale at a deep discount. It was $4.99 at JRRshop a couple of years ago...
  • AIR Vacuum Pro.
  • NI Absynth 5. Included in NI Komplete. A little out of my comfort zone, but makes some very interesting sounds.
  • NI Massive (original). Included in NI Komplete.

I misread it as "degenerative synth sound module" and wondered what kind of filthy sounds this thing could make...

I initially though it was named after Ayn Rand, which, as a guy who actually enjoyed ideology and philosophy classes in college (unlike everyone else I knew)  was a bit of a turn off.
