As promised, this follow-up to the 10 Best Free VST Plugins list (that is, just effects and processors) is all about synths. Some of these synths are early projects from designers who have gone on to work for larger companies making some of the most high-profile VST instruments; others are passion projects from solo sonic adventurers who simply want to share their skills with the music-making. Free VST Synth Plugins & DAW Similar To Pro Tools & Serum By W.

Sylenth1 is a virtual analog VSTi synthesizer that takes the definitions of quality and performance to a higher level. Until now only very few software synthesizers have been able to stand up to the sound quality standards of hardware synths. Sylenth1 is one that does. Sylenth1 is not just another synth.

Some of these synths are early projects from designers who have gone on to work for larger companies making some of the most high-profile VST instruments; others are passion projects from solo sonic adventurers who simply want to share their skills with the music-making community. And some are simply streamlined versions of commercial synths.

But what these VST synths have in common, other than price, is that they all have a fantastic sound and great tone-shaping features. You can load them up in your DAW right now and give any of them a spin in your next production. You won’t be disappointed!

Sylenth1 VST - similar sound to Saxophone DROP DOWNLOAD FLP version: FL.

I like this answer. Sylenth is not going to make you a better producer. I make most of my synthy sounding sounds using simpler in Ableton by slowing down, speeding up, or shortening the sample.

Available for PC and Mac. More info and download here.

8. Tonebytes Bleep’

Recreating the legendary sound of the Commodore 64 SID sound chip, this synth is an absolute must for chiptune makers and anyone who’s into retro / 8-bit game style sounds and FX.
