Maybe this has been posted already, but I've never seen it before and I figured others might have missed it as well.

OBXD -- really cool Oberheim OB-X emu!

Really fat sound, and as a huge fan of early eighties Rush I bonded immediately with this thing.

I think it was mentioned before, but OBXD is definitely one of the main freeware releases of last year, together with Dexed (and of course Ragnarok )

Updated the 'Vintage emulations' section. There is now a pretty impressive array of vintage synths available as pretty good emulations... for free . Who wouldn't like to have this in his/her studio:

- Oberheim OBX/OBXa -> OBXD
- Yamaha DX7 -> Dexed
- Roland JX8P -> PG8X
- Ensoniq ESQ-1 - SQ8L
- Korg Mono/Poly -> Mono/Fury
- Korg Delta -> Nabla

Seems like synthesizer heaven for any vintage synthesizer addict

An old soundfont library is still going. If you have a Plogue SFZ sample player, it will convert these sf2 files.
Be careful, because it's an old website, and there's some spam and malware crawling around. Anything newer than '07 is likely garbage.

http://www.hammersound.net/

This is Campbell's Harpsichord (rar compressed file; sf2 format). Acoustic harpsichords are rather hard to come by.

It takes some time to work (about 4X real time I think) but gives you ALL KINDS of useful information to show you where you might be going wrong. It's way more comprehensive than the Youlean Freq-Balancer, including graphs, charts, and fine resolution EQ, as well as compression and limiting and all kinds of good stuff. It's really unbelievable. AND it will output the mastered file for you.

Both of these are worth a donation I think.
I downloaded this awhile ago but have never opened it as I get a Trojan warning ---- anyone else had this?

My mistake Fex,

Just notice that I'm not getting anything from Avast but a warning from IObit.

Installed it --- no problems so far.

The current KVR OSC is using eclipsis. Killer vst. The main downside is that is 32 bit only and it has tabs, which I hate. But many, many advantages. One filter per osc, great GUI otherwise.

It's free. Can be a serious contender for the free vsti crown (can hold its own against oatmeal and synth1).

I won't say it's a real contender to Synth1, because the main claim to fame that Synth1 has is the fact that is uses close to no cpu at all so you can run umpteen instances. Eclipsis has proven so far (in the OSC) to be pretty heavy on cpu loads, and not really stable so far.

I was using 4Front Bass as my bass guitar emulation, but it surely misses some 'bite'. I've loaded a whole bunch of FX on it to get it at least usable. However, I recently stumbled upon a much better bass guitar emulation called FabBass. It's a emulation of a sixties Hofner Violin Bass (like the one Paul McCartney used to play). The best thing is that, besides sounding pretty great, it has a whole load of controls (4Front bass has NONE) that let you create all kinds of bass tones.





Download is here: http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php...abBass&id=2127

Added to the list, under 'real instrument emulations' (as I think someone needing a bass guitar sound will look there)

Shame that last one is 32bit only. I am trying very hard to wean myself off all those 32bit stalwarts....not easy but so far all I have left is my UAD1 stuff and NI's venerable B4II.
Can't afford a UAD2 so I guess it is just a case of adapting to Guido's take on the B3 (which I bought, but still dont use as much as B4)

Nova 67p is worth to be mentioned with a screenshot
https://vladgsound.wordpress.com/plugins/nova67p/

It's a really great EQ+Compressor in one.

I understand the urge to go in all 64bit... but I would say that 32bit is still here for so many users that it will take quite some time (years?) before we have a usable subset of the 32bit free plugins available in 64bit. As long as 32bit is still a viable platform, devs will keep on building stuff that's only 32bit

Welcome, read.

I've been using hardware and software synths since the E-Mu Emulator, Korg T1, Roland JX8P and the Yamaha General MIDI sound card voices.
Hell, I had my hands on an original Arp 2600 once.

I've tried both (free version) Sampletank and Kontakt .

Each has their high and low points. Kontakt can be challenging for the first time user. You have to read the instructions, and spend time with it to understand what it can or can't do.

Yes, it has some killer sounds, and 3rd-party programmers are doing incredible things for it. But, you have to get some skin in the game -- it'll pay off if you invest in it ($$$$).

Sampletank is good for the more casual plug-and-play user. It can be tweaked to a degree, but it's mostly feed the sounds into the slots, set up the MIDI channels and play.
I've had significant issues with IK Multimedia customer service, however. I hesitate to recommend based on that reason.

For me, Kontakt FTW, along with some samples on a sample player (Plogue SFZ) and VSTs that I've hunted for over the years.

This thread utterly rules if you're looking for freeware!

My opinion only, yours may vary.

From the same developer as FlexTron is my new "go-to" amp sim; FM25 ...



... an emulation of a Fender Frontman 25R? A silly little solid-state practice amp, you might ask?

Yes indeed. And it sounds wonderful

Switch the mod to "AXP" (tube emu), oversample (HQ), 2x12 speaker mode, and it becomes a very convincing Twin tone ... clean crisp & full without harshness in the highs or farts in the lows. Dial in some overdrive on the gain channel for a bluesy or rock n roll crunch. Simple to operate, not too many overly complex options, quite 'old-school' ... and it sounds great.

Toss the CharBooster in front of this for even more tonal options if you need ... they sound terrific together, but even all alone this FM25 holds its own as a viable ITB Fender emulation.

I have that one, but not used it yet. If it's anything as good as Flextron then it will probably be a keeper!

I've really been getting into using these sorts of plugins as of late, the ones that have amp and cab sims all in the one plugin are great and a little easier on the CPU I find. You've got to love those developers of freeware guitar amps, they really are on fire at the moment with that stuff, long may it continue.

FM25 does resemble my club amp, a 1999 Princeton 65. Solid state, lead and clean channels, foot-switchable overdrive, spring reverb with FX loop. I'll give it a go.

The AXP is a goody for overdriven sounds.

Technogremlin has posted a lot of the plugins on the first page, but there are so many to keep up with in this thread. You'll have to take it like an all-you-can-eat buffet... one plateful at a time.

Indeed, there's so much great recommendations and finds in those pages, that it is impossible to list them all on the first page. It also would negate the purpose of giving a compact 'starters' list of the best-of-the-best. I do test most stuff that comes up in the discussions here and if something makes a worthy addition I'll add it to the list

By the way, the list is way overdue for a big overhaul (although I did some minor maintenance not long ago). It will take a while as I'm completely swamped with my day job atm, but stay tuned

Cyclone is pretty cool if you have patience for that sort of thing. I don't know if it's been mentioned in here already.

is it samples? that isnt so clear, as they mimick the things in the manuals as if it were not samples. I had the same supsicion, because they use refuse to use the term "emulation". samples are nah & meh ... because ... its samples. samples of synths are close to bullshit. explanation for this statement on demand.

We deeply multi-sampled these custom patches using top-shelf equipment and edited them to perfection before sending them off for professional mastering.
They also say something vague about "hybrid instruments" but exactly what makes them hybrid is not clear. These things might sound great of course, but an emulation they are not.
