Steven W. Smith’s The Scientist and Engineer’s Guide to Digital Signal Processing is available as a free download. Pretty dry stuff but could be useful if you are cooking stuff up in Max/MSP or whatnot.

The Internet Synthesizer
Why not? By feeding it instructions you have many additive and subtractive options. Not real time… but so what?
Synth Zone – software synths
Links to downloadable synthesis programs.
DontCrac[k]
Why DontCrack?
The name says it all. We want to encourage fair use of software because developers need to be strongly supported to continue creating great software.
DontCrac[k] as been created to become a bridge between customers and developers. The idea is to provide full services for developers, letting them do what they do best : Releasing great Software!
The Shareware Music Machine
Lots of audio shareware links.
GranuLab AKA Granny
GranuLab makes sound in real time by generating masses of sound “grains” (usually chopped from one of your soundfiles).
AudioMulch
AudioMulch is software for real-time sound synthesis, music composition and performance-oriented audio processing.
Coagula
Coagula is an image synth. This means that it is both a program for creating and manipulating images, and a program for generating sound from those images.
You can use Coagula to generate rich and complex synth sounds. There are special drawing tools to help you create the pictures. Some features are not so common in other image editors.
Lots of stuff that would be really useful is also missing. The program is still under development.
Spongefork
Spongefork is a complete softsynth, sampler, live improvisation instrument, and soundfile processing application. SF’s oscillators and interface are controllable via an unique XY based modulation controller, your computer keyboard, by external pitch tracking, or by MIDI input.
thOnk
thOnk is an extremely simple to use Freeware Macintosh application, that uses Granular Synthesis to produce very diverse sounds based upon a sound file provided by the user, where you have NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER over the process.
