Jagdeep, There are bunch of softsynths... A very good one that u can have for free is Crystal (greenoak.com). Its like a poor man's version of Absynth. It supports Substractive synthesis and FM synthesis. But u have it use it as a VST plug in only, no stand-alone, so u shud have some VST host. U can get Absynth demo version for free, which is fully operational, but it has a 30 day limit on it. Absynth will work as a stand alone version too. if u go to KVRaudio.com, u can find bunch of softsynths, for free or demo versions. Meanwhile, I figured out a way to get that stuttering/chopping effect (eg. Dol Dol femal voice) in Cubase, just select a midi gate as an insert effect for the audio track and direct a midi track to that midi gate.Now u can use that midi track and play it in real time or program it to control the audio u want to chop. Pretty simple once u know it :-). Prolly u can do it any other software like Cubase.
