I use a number of things on this github repo of FOSS audio tools.

Things I can recommend:
Vital (wavetable synth)
Dexed (clone of Yamaha DX7, uses sysex preset ibraries)
Dragonfly Reverb (great free reverbs)

Things I need to check out more:
VCV Rack (modular synths)
Neural Amp Modeler (guitar impulse loader)
