Silkworm - Free

Silkworm features:

Choose from sine, saw, ramp, triangle and pulse waveforms.
Control over thickness of sound and over spread in stereo image.
Band limiting filter using two 12db filters in series for a very characteristic sound.
Ping pong delay with filter built in.
Separate LFO for vibrato (preset with adjustable aftertouch level).
Assignable LFO for modulating filter, bandwidth, pulse width, volume and panning.
Mono and poly modes (mono is not only good for producing great soaring leads but also helps save CPU cycles).
Various play/dynamic controls.
Simple but effective sequenced gating effect that can be synced to external (host) clock.
Very easy to program and capable of more than just trance sounds.

Installation:
To install simply unrar and copy the dll to your VSTI plugins folder.

Controls and usage:
Experiment with the controls - it’s more fun that way - instructions will follow soon but were lost recently due to the site being down and need to be re-written.

Tips:

try using mono mode if CPU usage is a problem or rendering tracks down one at a time
Silkworm is good for more than just the usual trance sounds
use the internal gate clock and very short delay times to create wierd metallic effects…
