the righteous path; we are are proud to present our top 8 picks for free VSTs

Subconscious is a very powerful tool that if used properly,
can produce a multitude of sounds. This VST will serve you greatly if you like
to experiment with sound design. The link provided also hosts different VSTs
that can help you with your work.
2) TS 808 BY TACTILE
Tactile sounds has made this wonderful software emulation of
the Roland TS – 808. It houses a lot of parameters that you can tweak to your
liking. If you wish to have a modernized version of one of the first
programmable drum machines, then this workhorse will serve you just fine.
3) GLUE REEDS ELECTRIC PIANO BY MOKAFIX AUDIO VSTS
Mokafix has a bunch of cool VST plugins that simulate
filters, and amps. but the highlight here is the Glue Reeds electric piano.
This piano has a very warm sound that was based on the previous blue reeds
plugins, however thay don’t have those anymore. This instrument has almost no
controls on it whatsoever, making it as one of those instruments that is solely
purposed for a specific tone.
4) UNO FM BY XSYNTH
This instrument is based on a Yamaha FM 4 operator and has
been labeled as one of the best freeware VSTs on the internet. We love this VST
but we love you more so here you go. If your a Frequency Modulation type of
guy, then you might like this one.
5) ABAKOS BY HERCS MUSIC SYSTEM
HERCS music system is gone, but they left us this wonderful
gift called Abakos Virtual Analog (Subtractive) Synthesizer. The reason why
it’s here is because that this is one of those VSTs that are pretty flexible,
due to it having so many parameters.
6) GLASS ARMANIAC BY ARMAN
Ever wanted an instrument that sounds like those wine
glasses with water being rubbed? Well here it is. Believe it or not, this has a
lot of use when you put your imagintation into work. Now go Play with this
wonderful creation and enjoy.
7) THE COLORSPACE: DRAFTER
This instrument has been one of our prized posessions ever
since we have stumbled upon this. This is the second time that we have given
you our golden treasure huh? What’s special about this synth? Well instead of
being limited by the typical ‘saw’ ‘square’ ‘sine’ waveforms, why not make your
own by drawing the waveform itself? Given that capability, you can create more
sounds that limit the span of your imagination.
8) ROAZHON BY OLIVIER
Olivier has made this synth and what makes it special is
that it has a lot of parameters and filters that enable you to shape the sound
to the way you like it. It also lets you control the attack and decay to make
plucks or stabs.
