The VET-1 freeware softsynth is a barebones virtual noisemaker endowed with some weird detuning features. It was originally released in 2002 for the Mac OS 9 version of Pluggo; three years later the thing is back, ready to run on OS X.

Here are some key features of "VET1 Synthesizer":
12-voice polyphonic VST-MAS-RTAS dynamic morphing oscillator wavetable synthesizer plug-in for Cycling '74 Pluggo Runtime,featuring dynamic voice allocation,
88 basic single-cycle waveforms and 2 user-editable morphing waveforms. It includes a tuning selector for any integer or fractional equal division of the octave (EDO) in the 5-98 EDO range and an "EDO warp LFO" feature that can be used to modulate the octave divisor in order to obtain special detuning effects ("variable temperament"). It responds to MIDI note-on/off, pitch-bend and modulation wheel data.
compatible with Pluggo Runtime 3.5.2 (Cycling 74)
suitable for use with ProTools, Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer and programs like the VSTi Host 3.12X (Defective Records) running on OS X Tiger.

Requirements:
Cycling 74 Pluggo Runtime,
any audio host application allowing for virtual instrument plug-ins.
