“Guitar Harmonics Essential by Cinematique Instruments

Free VST guitar for PC and Mac

The free VST guitar created by Cinematique Instruments can be used in every audio software featuring VST 3, AAX or AU with the free plug-in HALion Sonic SE 3. Guitar Harmonics focuses on so-called flageolet notes or harmonics and creates very pure and clear sounds of an electric guitar.

The instrument provides a lot of useful options giving you a wide range of tools to vary and change the sound at your own requirement such as note length control (decay), tone control, cabinet and rotary and a reverb and delay control.

With this array of tools, the instrument produces a wide spread of sounds such as organic reverse guitars, fragile string notes and warm e-piano tones.”

“Set yourself free with HALion Sonic SE

HALion Sonic SE 3 is a stripped-down version of HALion Sonic 3 without giving up on sound quality and accessibility. The streamlined VST workstation lets you load and play a plethora of sound content: the SE libraries shipping with Steinberg’s digital audio workstations, VST Sound Instrument Sets for HALion and the custom user libraries created within the HALion 6 sampler and sound creation system.

HALion Sonic SE 3 is available for free as a plug-in for any VST3, VST2, AU and AAX compatible host and as a stand-alone application for macOS and Windows.

Inside Steinberg’s DAW

HALion Sonic SE 3 can be used in all of Steinberg’s DAWs and loads and plays the dedicated libraries that are included in Cubase and Nuendo.

VST Sound Instrument Sets

Load and play the HALion expansion libraries like Dark Planet, Hypnotic Dance and Triebwerk in HALion Sonic SE 3.

NanoMod 7 – 8-Bit

NanoMod 7 – 8-Bit

“NanoMod 8-Bit brings the power of the NanoMod interface to bear on the shiny, aliased grittiness of vintage 8-bit digital synths. From searing synth leads to crunchy pads, 8-bit has the heft and muscle of those classic 80s polysynths right at its heart.

Wave 1 is a thickly detuned combination of two sawtooths and a PWM pulse, all beating it out together – great for movement and power. This is a very rough, aggressive wave.

Wave 2 is a typical early-digisynth waveform, with Breath and Air components and a lot of high-frequency noise. Dialling this in gives a great “airy pad” sound straight off; and it combines excellently with Wave 1 to add gloss to the raw sawtooth sound.”

Newscool

Newscool

“Newscool is a REAKTOR classic– now it’s completely rebuilt, with an innovative sequencer (at the top) and the characteristic sound engine (at the bottom). The engine consists of a tone generator on the left and a multi-effect unit on the right. The signal is produced by eight parallel oscillator units whose parameters are modulated extensively. The effect unit parameters – providing pitch shifting, delay and filter – are similarly modulated. The sequencer is based on the Life model developed by John Conway in the 1970s. A twodimensional pattern is processed in steps: An element of the pattern becomes alive (dark in this implementation) in the following step if three of its eight neighbors are alive in this step; it remains alive in the subsequent one if two or three neighbors are alive in the current one – else it dies (and becomes a light square again). Several patterns emerge over time by this set of rules: Gliders move over the grid, crosses oscillate in several phases, some objects remain stable and don’t change from step to step while others remain unstable forever. These patterns trigger the sound engine, generating “lively” sequences.”

OldSkoolVerb

OldSkoolVerb

“OldSkoolVerb is a freeware algorithmic reverberation AAX, AudioUnit and VST plugin for professional streaming, sound and music production applications. This plugin implements a kind of “classic” stereo reverb algorithm which is technically simple yet optimal. It also produces a very clear spatial image that blends well with the mix.

OldSkoolVerb offers you a comprehensive set of parameters permitting you to achieve various reverbs ranging from plate reverb to room reverb to hall reverb sound. OldSkoolVerb is best suited for non-percussive and soft-attack sounds like vocals, piano and pad sounds.

Podolski

Podolski

podolski

“Podolski is a simple, CPU-efficient virtual analogue synthesizer. Basically a cut down version of FilterscapeVA with just one oscillator, one filter, one envelope and two LFOs, it also features a Zebra-style arpeggiator/sequencer plus chorus and delay effects.

Podolski’s specialities are the Click parameter (emphasizes the filter attack) and its ability to seamlessly morph between three waveforms (WaveWarp).”

PolyGAS

PolyGAS

polygas

” PolyGAS (Polyphonic Granular Advanced Synthesizer) – the virtual synthesizer of the VSTi format (the VST protocol of version 2.4) providing operation as the connected plug-in to DAW (digital audio workstation), for example, such as: FL Studio, Ableton Live, Sony Acid Pro, Cockos Reaper, PreSonus Studio One, Cakewalk Sonar and others.
This synthesizer is based on a granular method of sound synthesis, allowing to use as much as possible possibilities of this method of synthesis. We will list the main opportunities of PolyGAS:

“Mission

We believe that no human should be excluded from learning any musical instrument, and the modular synthesizer is possibly the most excluding instrument on the planet—even more so than the harp or the marimba—due to its cost. Yet, it is possible to emulate synthesizer modules in software, in both sound and interaction behavior, providing a similar platform for creation that can be equally gratifying as hardware. VCV attempts to solve the problem in this way.
