granulOSO can be used to turn any sample into a synth and its good at making cheap keyboard sounds.
Here are more Synths, VSTi's and Instruments.
"As well as synth primitives, granulOSO can be coaxed into lo-fi timestretching with degree of stretch, and grain size adjustable on the fly. Whilst doing this, granulOSO uses a mono trigger with polyphonic pitch so each new note's samples join in rather than start again so it can be used as a gnarly harmonizer." Via
