Sineqube Kapling [Freeware]

It is based on the Karplus-Strong algorithm.

“Kapling uses this method to attempt the emulation of resonant bodies, like a string being plucked, or melodic percussion instrument being struck, ” according to Sineqube.

Eight independent voices are triggered by a 32-step sequencer, with a variety of parameters set up to help you sculpt new timbres in realtime. Kapling also features a tempo-synced stereo delay and recording to disk.

In simpler terms, “Kapling can help you make twangy, boingy, klonky tones, ” according to its creator.
