If you mean Greenoak Crystal, the freeware VST/AU synth, then yes and it is very cool.

I dont know if its Greenoak, but it is a soft synth, probably what you are talking about, free VST. Care to share any tracks you have used it on?

Too many to mention - I don't use it that often these days as I have Absynth, Zebra, Korg Legacy Digital and Live Suite with Operator to name a few. It is an FM/subtractive hybrid synth, something like Blue by Rob Papen uses a similar idea.

It's a pretty CPU intensive synth and I don't think they've done a lot with it in the past couple of years, but it has some cool sounds. It doesn't have the greatest GUI in the world either, but it's free and has some good sounds. I've been using it since 2005.

It doesn't cost anything, so I would just download it and play with it if I were you

If you want to hear audio samples of it, there are some already at the Crystal vst website telling you which sounds they used too.
