If you are low on dough and need some digital effect plug-ins to use in your recording studio, here are some cool free VST effects plug-ins. There is a variety of types, including reverb, delays, distortion, compressors, and more!
- The classic Roland JX-8P is emulated by this free synth VST wherein all the parameters are MIDI mappable with MIDI learning. All together, if you seek 80s style analogue pads, bass patches and a marvellous chorus module, the PG-8X is one of the best synth VST plugins on the market.
- – the challenge/fun/creative inspiration that comes from making music with gear not designed for music – tube saturation, all kinds of cool filters etc. As for this particular plugin: it's 8 oscillators that sound tasty when driven hard, plus some clever stuff to set their relative frequencies and stochastically pan them and modulate.
The free synth has proved that there's plenty of things you can do by using these tools by making music that sounds good at a low budget. Whether you are looking for in-depth sound design tools, classic vintage tones, or you are just looking to choose an excellent synth to get started, then you can choose a free VST from the list above.
