A bird on fire!

Firebird is a free synthesizer, that sounds great and is very easy to use. If you´re producing music on a older PC, then this bird got you covered, because it´s very CPU friendly.

Free VST plugins sometimes have an arp section, such as FireBird. I love to use FireBird for my Sparta bases.
