Get Melda MFreeformAnalogEQ for FREE with any purchase from ADSR

Until September 30th – Discuss this freebie

Get a free preset pack for Sundog and ChordPotion from FeelYourSound for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

This package contains a broad selection of rhythmic notes presets. Send any chord progression through ChordPotion, choose one of the presets, and create fresh MIDI stabs and note rhythms instantly. You can use the presets for any genre that benefits from rhythmic solo notes. Aggressive Rave synths, dark Hardstyle patterns, percussive House plucks – you name it. The package contains three types of presets: “one note lines” are perfect for hypnotic background melodies. The “two note lines” mostly work on the bass note, but insert a second note from time to time. And “three note lines” contain small melodic variations. These are especially useful for melodic EDM styles.

Get Spitfire LABS Synth Strings for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

These classic synth textures have been created from the infamous Solina String Ensemble — a 70s string synthesiser, used on countless iconic disco and rock records. From fuzzy, warm vibrations to bright stabs that cut through the mix, LABS Synth Strings has been recorded at Spitfire HQ by Harry Wilson & Hannah Roberts-Owen, and comes complete with sampled modulation and processed pads — equally at home on a Herbie-style record as it is on a Blade Runner-style blockbuster template.

Get Cymatics Origin (vintage/lofi/old tape machine plugin) for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

Origin was built based on vintage gear to give the most realistic analog sound. The “Movement” knob (or Wow/Flutter) has a special mode that uses a randomizer algorithm to create realistic tape pitch wobbles.

We also replicated the famous Juno 106 chorus sound with the two classic slow and fast chorus modes. Finally, the tape saturation modes are modeled from vintage tape machines. Using these in tandem with the noise knob and Resampler, you will get an undeniable vintage tone to your sounds.

Get the “808 Day” sample pack from Henrik Harrell for FREE

Expiry Unkown

808 Day comes with 2 sample packs in 1: TR808 samples and 808’s. These are hard hitting and perfect for genres like Trap, Hip Hop, Electronic, House etc. In total, you get up to 84 TR808 samples and 10 unique 808’s. These are some of my favorite 808’s I’ve ever made.

Get Samplab for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

Samplab was founded in 2020 in Zurich, Switzerland with the vision of making music production easier, faster and more engaging. We want to enable you to be creative with your music and not spend countless hours in front of the computer for technical details. Just let us worry about the nerdy parts.

Get Bad Contact by Rawoltage for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

While most sound designers hate when knobs and switches crackle and create noise, we felt there was potential in these flaws. One can create interesting musical tones or individual works with them. It just depends on your imagination and the FX chain. Get creative and try the 50/60 Hz hum of the transformer, the harsh crackling while turning the big knob, or the popping sound of the power button. By increasing the voltage, you can strengthen the crackling. All sounds are oscillator generated, not sample-based. No boring repetition.

Get Monica 3 from Fanan Team Pro for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

An analog dual-layered 90’s style synth with 2 completely different aggressive and incredibly high dynamic range oscillators. The first oscillator is wavetable based with 50 wavetables + additional 50 wavtables for morphing. The second is an old style 8 waveforms pad oscillator that emulates the 90′ type monster pads. The oscillators work on dual-layered basis and have each own separate controls, synthesis section, chords driven pattern sequencer and some more new features.

Get Cheap RTA from reFuse software for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

Get an overview of frequency content at a glance! Impress your clients with a pretty lightshow! Give your DAW setup a sparkly professional sheen! All this from our free 1/3 octave Cheap RTA (Real Time Analyzer). Runs on mono or stereo tracks. Stereo signals are summed to mono for frequency analysis, but your audio signal is passed through unchanged. We kept the CPU load lightweight for this one, so it won’t bog down your system. There are no parameters to adjust, but the window does allow resizing over a wide range of dimensions and aspect ratios.

Get Rarities #2 from FluffyAudio for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

RARITIES #2 is the Koto, or rather the Japanese national instrument. Full Kontakt required.

The Koto is a plucked zither-like instrument which features 13 strings (sometime 17) and movable bridges for tuning. Traditionally played with fingerpicks, its sound could be described as halfway between an harp and a dulcimer but the best way to know it is to download this tiny elegant RARITY!

Get Solo Trumpet from Norrland Samples FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

Full Kontakt required.

Norrland Samples is located in the north of Sweden – in Norrland, a place famous for its vast and arcane nature.

We’re passionate about making virtual instruments that can be played the way a musician would play a real instrument. Instantly, intuitively, and without the need for extensive keyswitching or programming. We’re just starting out on this journey, and we really hope you will find our instruments useful and inspirational.

Get Blocks from Soonth FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

Blocks is a modular synth plugin available for Windows & Mac as VST3, AU and stand-alone.

Get Intimate Strings Lite from Embertone for FREE

Forever FREE – Discuss this freebie

It’s a free instrument, and in our humble opinions, it’s useful as hell. For standalone melodies or to supplement other string sounds, what you get is the sound of a string quartet… FREE!

• Expressive, natural tone. True legato
• 3X round robin neighbor borrowing
