The Wavebreaker Audio Unit by Audiofield is now updated to run in Tiger. The version number is 2.0a1, so it's an alpha version. Some new polynomials has been added along with a Preshaper and a Postshaper section to control the level going into and out from the main waveshaper.

Expert sleepers announced an update to version 1.0.2 in both Audio Units and VST for Minky Starshine, in order to fix several bugs. Minky Starshine is at heart an additive synthesiser, augmented with possibilities for subtractive synthesis (i.e. filtering) and pulse width modulation. A waveform is created by summing 16 independently controllable 'partials'. By setting the relative levels of the partials appropriately you can create familiar waveforms such as sawtooth and squarewave, but you can also create an infinite range of timbres in between.
