K200 is a 4 operator FM synthesizer, packed in a slightly unusual looking but actually rather user friendly interface.
Despite its somewhat rough around the edges design, is actually one of the most intuitive FM synths to explore. The control layout is very easy to comprehend and the algorithm diagram in the upper-right corner (which also works as a slider for toggling through the 52 available algorithms) is very helpful for figuring out what’s going on under the hood. The knobs don’t have any labels underneath. Instead, a visual guide on the top of the GUI shows which knob does what, and this really helps keep the interface both clean and intuitive at the same time.
Soundwise, K200 is an excellent virtual instrument. The included set of factory patches crafted by Armin Kujat feature some lovely sounding bells, pads, and most of the other classics you’d expect to hear in an FM synth. The real fun begins when you start tweaking those patches (or building your own from scratch), though, as K200 is one of those synthesizers that can hardly sound bad. Record a MIDI sequence in your DAW and play it looped while you adjust various sound parameters in K200 – you will likely end up with more than a few great sounding custom patches that you’ll want to save for later.
Other notable features include a multi-mode filter (LPF, BPF and HPF) with a filter envelope, a master tune knob and octave switch, pitch bend amount knob, portamento, mono/poly switch and MIDI learn support. The synthesizer also includes two built-in effects: a simple reverb module and a nice sounding chorus.
Due to the fact that the instrument was made with SynthEdit, it will only work in 32-bit hosts on Windows. The CPU hit is surprisingly low, staying below 7% most of the time, even with heavy polyphony.

Here's 15 more plugins, vsts and aps from Krakli Software
We have described it as a semi-modular because you have a vast range of self-contained synth engines, Virtual Analog, Physical modelling, FM, and Bell tones (Ring mod) all routable via filters, Vector .....
S3 is Krakli's String machine plugin and if I am being honest one of my personal favourites. The Mixfilla patch has been used in more of my tunes than I can care to guess.
Again it is one of .....
Many times we have attempted to create an ensemble plugin which tries to synthesize Choir or voice effects. Sad to say that VBox3 is another failed attempt, but is still included here as it stands .....
The VSTi world is awash with attempted Hammond Organ emulations. S3O is something a little different, although some clever patch writers could probably coax a tonebar sound out of it its is far happier .....
We have labelled M8Rx as a weird noisemaker but that is probably not doing it justice. What you are presented with here are 16 independent oscillators which can be triggered in realtime by a sequencer .....
Cygnus is one of the older Krakli plugins but still remains a favourite for some, in part due to its distinctive sound.
The story behind Cygnus revolves around Tim Conrardy an amazing patch .....
A collection of simple effects units designed to resemble Guitar stomp-box pedals.
RMPx is a hybrid Physical Modelling and ensemble synth which has a great sound.
The Phys-mod section especially enjoys being played with a touch-sensitive keyboard and can conjure up very acoustic .....
Want One Additive Synth? KWave gives you two with the ability to morph between the waveforms using Envelope or LFO modulation. Then it doubles it all again so you have the chance to create lots of .....
XAKT is a relatively simple Spectral/Additive synth. Consisting of 2 -16 partial additive oscillators (the Red and Green Sliders) the morphing between those being controlled by Envelope or LFO.
.....ADK is a spectral Additive Synth. with an additive oscillator which has each partial being modulated by one of four ADSR envelopes or LFOs.
To add extra flavour the additive section can be routed .....
K400 is a synth which uses the same sound creating method that was made popular by the Casio CZ series of synths
Remember the EDP Wasp? I should, I had two, and the Spider sequencer. Unfortunately I customised my Wasps so much that they stopped working.
StingerMax is an homage to the little Yellow and .....
K1Ks is an attempt to create a synth with a more analog sound. Inspired by the sounds of the succesful TV series Stranger Things
Consider KS7000 as Arminator's Cousin. Not intended as a replacement for Arminator. The advantage of KS7000 is that it is available in 64bit VST3 & VST2 as well as 32bit VST2.
