Check out SynthEdit...

I would recommend it much over SynthMaker to start out with.

You have lots of options and also you can develop your own modules using the Development kit from SynthEdit. (IN C or C++)

You can always buy SynthMaker in the future line, but please don't go buy it without looking into any information.

TO make a basic Synth is very easy using both applications, but to make something worth using or selling is completely up to you and your process of planning and developing.

Both are very good with creating the synths itself and connecting the modules together. Using GUI to create the synths makes it much easier to code it but the advantages to work you own codes into the modules is brilliant in case you need something totally different which isn't out there. Although this method is extremely hard if you are new to coding, it's worth looking into if you have the time.

It's very hard to keep concentrated if you absolutely love music, it's a pain in the ass creating your own modules, but in the end run it can be worth it if you do have the time and you are actually willing to do something with it.

You can introduce custom graphics to both applications when designing your interface for the Synth but I believe Synth Maker is easier if you don't like looking into things. If you do like researching and learning and don't mind a step learning curve, then I would suggest SynthEdit over SynthMaker as beginning this.

There are also many videos on SynthEdit which I started on :

It teaches you about creating a simple 2 Oscillator synth using all the pre-built modules.

Very good series...

Also as an advantage, if your poor like me, SynthEdit would be another good option. xD

With SynthEdit you can also find loads of modules to put into your Synth such as Effects on the internet that are mostly available for free to download. You just add it into your modules folder and you can load it up in SynthEdit.

Also, SynthEdit synths do take a bit of CPU usage up when you don't correctly create one or go mental with a Synth. The awesome things you can do is create 20 Oscillator Synths, but you might die....

SynthMaker is optimized more when extracting the project as a Synth I believe, but with little research you can develop a decent synth with SynthEdit that doesn't need a lot to run.

Messiah was also created by SynthEdit I believe!
