I’m trying to get a friend into music production, but they don’t have a budget for expensive software.
Here is a list of plugins I compiled for them to install.
- Blamsoft
- VK-1 Viking - Classic monophonic analog synthesizer. This is a great start for those wanting to learn classic subtractive synthesis such as that provided by the Mini Moog
- Cherry Audio
- Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer - Based on the Realistic Concertmate MG-1, it’s like a RadioShack MiniMoog. It doesn’t have all the capability of the MiniMoog, but still simple and charming.
- u-He
- Triple Cheese
- Zebralette - Easy spectral synth
- Tyrell N6 - Virtual analogue with classic architecture plus extras
- Poldoski - Virtual analogue synthesizer
- DSP56300
- Surge
- TAL
- The Wave Warden
- One Small Clue
- Poise: Percussion Sampler - This will satisfy those needing a percussion sampler for drums
- Vital
- Vital - Wavetable / Additive synth
