I've seen many amazing synth sounds on this site, and have recently been wanting to make my own, any suggestions on good free software are greatly appreciated! Thanks for the suggestions!

You can make synths on various software or some online websites such as FL Studio, Ableton live, Logic X Pro etc... You can also find synth-making websites online. Some synth effects might need to be edited later in another program like Audacity.

hi

I can't but recommend these, for a start:

Surge - https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/
ZynAddSubFX - https://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.io/
Helm - https://tytel.org/helm/

All available for Linux, MacOs and Windows, all open source.
They're extremely flexible and powerful and may sure look complicated for a first approach, but the net is full of good tutorials.

If by "free software" you only meant "zero cost", the free ones by U-he are definitely worth a try:

Honorable mention for Synth1, no Linux version, but working well via Wine
https://www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-daichi-laboratory-ichiro-toda

Thanks to both of you! Will try these out!

Analog Box 2

Just be sure to go through the tutorials.

Hey there,

Plugin Boutique often gives away free synths. They have a "free" product section, as well.

Ok! Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out!

Use KVRaudio.com's search engine to find the best options.
Filter by free instruments, then sort by highest rated or most downloaded.

Ok, thanks! Will do!

Recently I've found web-based musical synth. Not sure how much it fits your needs but I think it's an interesting finding

Ok, thanks! I'll check it out.

You might also like VCV Rack if you are into modular.
