Here at Intergalactic Prairie Studios, when a tool we want doesn’t exist, we build it. That’s why we started BIPTUNIA SYNTHS. These VSTs are the cure for existential dread, at least for a few hours.
We use these tools, but we also share them with you. And all are free. (Donate here if you want.) Also, check out my microtonal music made with the microtonal 64-bit VSTs below.
64-bit Windows VSTs
MICROTONE 5000, new free Microtonal VST. I’d try this one first. (VST3 and VST2 available)
Simple Microtonal Sampler, v1.5 (FIXED, as of March 2023). You can use a sample of any instrument to re-tune it microtonally. (VST3 and VST2 available)
Orion Ring Modulator (New free wild VST effect) (VST3 and VST2 available)
(High contrast versionsVST3 and VST2, just white text on black background of these above are here.)
FreakBone 9000 (experimental crazy sounding microtonal VST synth) (VST2 available)
Simple Microtonal Synth is an an older synth, but has some cool presets. Is 64-bit VST2.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If you have trouble running (or accessing the presets in) the VST3, try the VST2.
If still having problems, go to https://www.synthedit.com/downloads/
Go to “Other downloads you may require” and install the .NET 4.6
If still trouble, install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages (get Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022), note you’ll have to pick the one for your processor, Intel or AMD.
Restart your computer between attempts.

If you don’t know what a VST is, it’s software used for making music. Our VSTs are VSTis, or Virtual Studio Technology Instruments. They are software music synthesizers that run in any DAW or VST host. They are free. We make ’em for us and share ’em with you.
Oh, check out the xenharmonic wiki. New location. and I’M HELPING!
