Back in the day, it was the cheapest ticket to proper Moog-style bass sounds. The freeware emulation comes from Cherry Audio, the company behind the popular Voltage Modular virtual instrument. Thanks to its simple design and synthesis engine, Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer works great both as a monosynth and a synthesis learning tool.

I can imagine how hard it was not to include more than two Full Bucket plugins. Otherwise I expected one FB-3xxx on that list. Anyway, great basis for further synth fun. Good list, indeed. There was this guy who compiled almost all of the synth1 presets available out there and posted it on his blog. The compiled file was around 11 mb, i think. This made synth1 to load iniatially a bit slow as it would scan for all those plugins whenever a new instance of the plugin is loaded or a project is launched.
So i wont recommend downloading all the presets available there but to choose them wisely. How about adding some arpeggiators I like your article about this and vintage reverbs melda have a great one?
I also use izotopes vinyl on the master for extra vintage artifacts like tape speed variation. Good suggestions! I think I covered all the best reverbs in the free reverbs article — but it would be fun to write one that focuses on vintage reverbs.
Added to my to-do list. Adding Exakt Lite to the list, right next to Dexed. Thanks for the tip! Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Featured November 12, November 23, November 22, November 22, 4.

Fotis on November 1, pm. AWR on November 1, pm. Those are cool, too. Adding them to the honorable mentions. Jamie M. On it, thanks! It has a spectral oscillator that allows you to configure the modulation to your liking, as well as add from its 24 spectral effects. Zebralette is capable of producing a beautiful polyphony of up to 16 contiguous voices and 2 surround voices, more than enough to produce beautiful and complex sonorities for your hip hop beats.
This VST is popular in the world of low-cost beatmaking, due to its great audio quality and lots of presets that will allow you to create beats with characteristic sounds of current trap and hip hop beats.
Despite being a very compact VST it is packed with great features that will help any producer create great beats regardless of their budget. It comes armed with a virtual analog synth, 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs with 8 different waveforms, ring modulator, noise generator, audio source mixer with true overdrive, dual filter, analog ADSR envelopes, full user interface configuration and over high quality presets.
The Tunefish v4 is a lightweight virtual analog synthesizer, being a lighter version of its big brother, the Tunefish v3 version, however it manages to retain most of the qualities and power.
Despite having a 10kb code, it manages to produce an outstanding audio quality, worthy of a paid plugin. It has pads, plucks, leads, etc. It allows the manipulation of sounds through its knobs for delay, distortion, reverberation, etc. With its improved user interface you will be able to have a better visualization of the modulations more easily. It has an additive synthesis waveform generator. It has a very complete noise generator.
It comes integrated with band pass, high pass, low pass and notch filters. It has a wide variety of effects that can be stacked up to 10 effects simultaneously, from distortion, reverb, EQ, formant, delay, chorus and flanger. This plugin is recommended especially if you want to create relaxing atmospheres for lofi beats, chill out, hip hop, among others.
The next free plugin on this list is technically a drum machine plugin, however it contains style Bass Drum Sounds. BD is a very beginner-friendly, intuitive plugin with a simple, no-nonsense design. It is a fantastic tool for instantly adding high-quality sounds to your tracks. While this does mean it lacks many of the on-board parameters of the full version, it does retain the stunning sound quality and deep, rich tone. On top of that, it includes an adjustable drive control, partly modifiable ADSR and fully functional pitch bend.
Next up is Tyrell N6, which is easily one the most popular, highly-rated free plugins ever created. Tyrell N6 is a simple, but deceptively powerful synth.
It features 2 oscillators, noise, a ring modulator and 2 LFOs with 8 waveforms, as well as an audio source mixer with authentic overdrive and filter feedback. In total the plugin contains diverse presets, many of which are vintage bass sounds. Overall, this free VST synth is an absolute no brainer for both beginner and advanced producers. By this point, most of you will have heard of the free plugin Vital.
Vital features 3 powerful, high-quality wavetable oscillators , each with frequency warper and waveshaper controls. An additional sample slot is also available, which can be used to add noise or other audio textures.
Vital also features an on-board wavetable editor, allowing you to warp and manipulate the wavetables to your hearts content.
The level of functionality of Vital matches even the most powerful paid synths out there such as Serum or Massive X.
