MICROTONE 5000, new free Microtonal synth VST. 64-bit Windows. VST3 (also VST2)
MICROTONE 5000 is the best free microtonal VST synth in the world, and the easiest microtonal synth to use. Yet it is robust, and will give you power. New From BipTunia Synths.
Will work on all 64-bit Windows DAWs.
MICROTONE 5000 is a Polyphonic analog-style synth with 5000 microtonal tunings (also has western 12-TET setting), 128 presets (also can be user configured), 2 oscillators, 2 filters, 1 LFO, 7 LFO assigns, and 6 voices. It has very low CPU usage.

MICROTONE 5000 is the best free microtonal VST synth in the world.
Q. What’s the difference between this and the dozens of other synthesizer VSTs out there?
A. A normal synth will make notes that use 12-tone western scale. This uses options of over 5000 alternate, from ancient Greek, to Bulgarian, to recent modern ones, to things like dividing the octave into 16 even notes (or 5 or 20 or 17) instead of 12. This one actually also has 12-tone western scale as an option (12 TET, 12-Tone Equal Temperament), but it’s only one of 5377 total options.
Street Date: April 2, 2023. Initial release version: 0.9. VST ID: MT5T. Mfg ID: BIPT. Website: biptunia.com
Ready to step outside the constraints of the 12-tone Equal Temperament Western Scale? That’s been used for everything from the Baroque era to the Ramones. That’s good music, but narrowly constrained. It’s also used for everything good and horrible on popular radio.
But always why divide the octave into 12 equal parts? That’s so square. We have divisions in our synth by all numbers, from 4 EDO (4 equal divisions of octave) to 313 per octave. Many of these tunings don’t even use octaves.
We also included ancient Greek and current folk scales from Scotland, Japan, Indonesia, Iran, Lithuania, Germany, and dozens of other countries. You can use Bach’s Just Intonation (and many other Just Intonations, all file names start with ji.) And hey, if you want to play in 12-tone equal temperament to jam along with some Pink Floyd or Ramones or (whatever’s on the charts this week), pick the 12 TET tuning, or use the second preset (002), “Western 12 TET.”
Microtonal / Xen (xenharmonic) music is explained, along with tutorials on music in general, in the PDF documents in the included folder, written by microtonal / xenharmonic star Sevish and used with permission. He also made some of the included tunings.
Microtonal music may seem “out of tune” at first, but after not much listening, it will start to make sense. You’ll even find your favorite tunings/ scales/ tonalities. I’d recommend if you’re new to this that you spend some time listening to this Microtonal Playlist on Spotify on Shuffle:
open.spotify.com/playlist/70d4bxQpwBM4EPvLj0OmhO
It has almost 1500 microtonal songs by many artists in many microtonal tunings, and in many genres.
