Tape Dynamics Simulator – desirable tape effects
There is nothing like the sonic effects of tape emulation to warm up a digital sound. As far as free plugins go, TDS is a winner in all aspects. It accurately recreates the character produced by a wide range of vintage devices – from analog reels to reel recorders – while presenting a modern take on the historically exploited coloration. The unit first introduces basic compression, to shape the dynamic range of the input. Then, there is a saturation amount control that works in conjunction with the input level followed by a limiter to engage peaks that made it through the compression and saturation stages. Think of TDS as a plugin that brings the now desirable nuances that once burdened the tape era (like wow,flutter, and over-magnetizing) to the digital world. Next time you get stuck on a dull, digital sound, try livening it up with some tape saturation. Keep in mind, understanding the nuances of tape behavior and predicting how this behavior can enhance your sound will take some practice and a lot of careful listening (as will most production tasks). But I assure you, you will hear an admirable difference with TDS even on its most gentle settings.
2. Voxengo, SPAN
Realtime FFT Signal Analyser – impressive visual aid for spectrum metering
In my opinion, SPAN is the best free analyzer out there. The spectrum's visual slope is set, more or less, in a way that represents most of today's productions – as a horizontal line, meaning all frequencies have approximately the same amount of space on the display. I have not experienced this on any other free analyzer I have used in the past. If you prefer the more familiar analyzer slope, you can change the display settings. Another useful feature in SPAN is the ability to view two different analyses at the same time. You can view a fast responding analyzer as well as average gain values across the frequency spectrum. On top of this, you have a peak meter, correlation meter, RMS meter, crest factor, clip counter and a general metering display. Listening always provides the best insight but visual aids are important too because they divulge imbalances and correlation issues you may not be able to hear on your system. Try running the some productions that are influential to you through SPAN to get used to what they look like. This will give you a nice reference of the balance you're trying to achieve.
3. Xfer, OTT
Multi-Band Compressor – instant satisfaction with minimal tweaking
OTT is a multi-band processor that applies aggressive compression from above and below, forcing the signal into a specific dynamic range and spectral balance. It is very effective when trying to achieve the treatment you hear on so many modern EDM productions and it is becoming the pioneer of its own signature sound (especially on lead and bass sounds). By aggressively controlling the relationship of frequency bands, OTT can make the most stubborn of sounds come to life. It can even mangle imperceptibly short reverb tails that pass through it, serving as a part of the sound's texture in a very obvious way.
4. Tokyo Dawn Records, NOVA
Parallel Dynamic Equalizer – elegant answers for lacking tracks
TDR Nova is a dynamic EQ with a twist. Aside from having 4 EQ bands that can work as separate dynamic processors, it includes a parallel band called wideband that consists of all the frequencies NOT being treated by any of the 4 bands (mind-blowing). This provides great flexibility – making it possible, for example, to compress or expand the entire spectrum of the song with the exception of one particular spot. Nova's possibilities are quite impressive. Bands' compression settings can be linked or controlled individually. It can be implemented as a multi-band compressor, de-esser, regular EQ or mid-side EQ, and it can treat left and right channels separately. Two non-dynamic filters are included in the bottom left of the window with a parallel processing option and controls for dry/wet. Another nice feature is the GR DELTA button that allows you to hear the effect of the dynamic processing only, without the EQ.

5. Digital Suburban, Dexed
I had a trouble believing this was a free VST. I thought for sure there was some catch…but I haven't found one. It is the best free DX7 emulator I can find and you can actually import programs from it in the 'cartridge' window. The interface is segmented into 6 operators, an LFO, a modulation matrix, a pitch envelope, and some master settings. The frequencies of the operators can be fixed or determined by C:M ratio (they can either change depending on the note that is being played or not). Each operator has options for mod amount and rate scaling in addition to extensive envelope and tune controls. The segments at the bottom allow you to sweep through 32 different algorithms for routing and 32 preset patches, making Dexed a no-brainer when it comes to free plugins.
Virtual instruments are software emulations of traditional instruments or hardware electronic musical instruments.
There is a staggering range of virtual instruments available nowadays, covering multi-timbral rompler modules to dedicated emulations of guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, and more.
Some of these VSTi plugins (as they're also called) are free. So in this article we'll take a look at some of the best free virtual instruments you can download today. Many of which are pro worthy.

Intro: About Virtual Instruments
The benefits of virtual instruments are fairly obvious. They take up much less space than their hardware equivalents, they don't overheat, and many of them have virtually unlimited polyphony. They are also much easier to edit and they almost never break down.
Here we run down some of the most intriguing virtual instruments currently available. Although some purists may scoff at the idea of these replacing their well-loved guitars or keyboards, there is no denying that they provide a surprising range of great sounds at a price that even professional musicians will appreciate.

The List
The Roundup
Native Instruments' Kontakt Player is arguably the Don of all free virtual instrument plug-ins. Based on the company's own hugely successful Kontakt sampler, Kontakt Player effectively hosts all sample-based instruments developed for its more fully-featured big brother.
The compatibility goes the other way as well. All free instruments developed specifically for Kontakt Player will load up and play in the full version of Kontakt. Between the two, there is a staggering assortment of free and paid instruments, all boasting of the trademark Native Instrument quality.
To get budget-savvy musicians and producers started, NI offers a free Kontakt Factory Selection consisting of 50 premium instruments. Some of these are slightly cut-down versions of the instruments developed for Kontakt, while some are full versions developed specifically for Kontakt Player.
While Kontakt Player focuses mainly on standard instrument libraries, Native Instruments' Reaktor Player is geared more towards the synthesis side of things.
Demonstration
Reaktor is of course the full-blown modular synthesis environment that gives users unparalleled and unlimited opportunity to design virtually any type of synthesizer, sequencer, or signal processor they could think of from scratch. With Reaktor Player, users are able to play back a wide variety of instruments and effects developed in and for Reaktor, with a more modest set of editing capabilities.
As with Kontakt Player, there is a huge range of ready-made instruments available for use in Reaktor Player. NI even offers two free devices to get you started: the Blocks Wired pre-patched modular synth and the Mikro Prism synthesizer.
Reaktor Player obviously doesn't come close to providing the depth of power and customizability offered by the full version of Reaktor. Nevertheless, it is a good introduction to modular synthesis. Furthermore, the availability of hundreds of Reaktor instruments cover a board range of sound-crafting options.

Ample Guitar M Lite is the free version of Ample Sounds' popular AGM guitar simulator. Emulating the warm, rich tones of the Martin D-41 acoustic guitar, Ample Guitar M Lite is now on its second version.
For the price of a free download, you get an enhanced set of features that now match the capabilities of the full version. The note range now spans E1 – C5, and the plug-in now works as a standalone instrument. Even if you do opt to use the instrument in your DAW, multiple instances will take up much less resources than before, and they will load up faster as well.

As you may have guessed from the name, Ample Bass P Lite is Ample Sound's free bass guitar sample player plug-in. A cut-down version of the full Ample Bass P II component of the company's Bass Series product line, this plug-in has fewer samples and fewer round robin variations than the full version. It also has a smaller note range than the paid product, covering D1 to F4. Nevertheless, the Ample Bass P Lite does a good job of cranking out the distinctive tones of the Fender Precision Bass, which it models.
Manda Audio's MT Power Drum Kit is a free drum sampler that has a fairly wide selection of acoustic drum kit sounds. Great care has been taken to record and process the original samples, giving users a range of high-quality drum sounds perfectly suited for pop, rock, and even metal.
Those who wish to process their drum sounds with their own plug-ins might not appreciate the fact that the MT Power Drum's sounds are already processed. Nevertheless, EQ and compression were applied quite tastefully, and the sounds should fit in well in most mixes.
Demonstration
Togu Audio Line has garnered quite a bit of acclaim for its excellent line of synthesizers and effects processors, a number of which are free. NoiseMaker is one of these, and it compares favorably to the company's own paid emulation of the Roland Juno 106 analog synth, the TAL-U-NO-LX.
The NoiseMaker incorporates some of TAL's more popular effects processors on board. There is the Juno-derived chorus with two modes for starters, along with a reverb, a delay, and a bitcrusher, all of which exist as free standalone plug-ins.

DistroCore's DC Bazz::Murda is a bass and kick synthesizer that is capable of a surprisingly wide array of sounds. Although aggressive and distorted industrial sounds are its forte, it can be dialed back for more subdued tones as well. Even so, this is one plug-in that was obviously designed to get as loud and nasty as possible. For some users, that could be a good thing!
Top Pick
Native Instruments' Kontakt Player and Reaktor Player are a couple of the best free virtual instruments that you can get, without a doubt. They provide a superb one-two punch that simply can't be beat.
Between the two, you pretty much have all your bases covered, whether you need bread-and-butter rompler sounds, exotic World Music libraries, or synthetic sounds ranging from vintage to cutting-edge.
Given the wide range of sounds they cover and the trademark NI quality, these two are neck-and-neck as our top picks for best virtual instrument plug-ins.
