SYNTHS

The Steinberg Halion 6 is a plugin that was designed to have the best possible acoustic sounds sampled. This is an impressive VST, however with the rapid growth of VST’s, I don’t think this is on the level of some of the ones out there right now. The plugin is designed to work with VST AU and AAX native versions and a Kontakt version was not created. This is because the plugin relies heavily on internal programming - for everything from the Leslie simulation, to sample fold-back, to vacuum tube sims - that would be impossible to replicate with the Kontakt player's simple scripting language. Acousticsamples B3 Organ is a nice organ vst that has been improving over time (version 2 includes an updated leslie simulation). Acousticsamples are one of my favorite plugin companies because their stuff tends to sound a little more natural and usually feature great built-in effects and sound design - their B3 organ is no exception.

. The best free VST plugins 2020: synths, drum machines and effects That’s not to say there aren’t potential downsides to relying on freeware instruments. While the core features of free plugins are often excellent, they may not offer some of the niceties of their paid rivals, such as extensive preset libraries, onboard effects or regular. Spinner LE VST effect is two-band rotary chorus modeled after the original Leslie Cabinet software simulator and it’s free. Features: – Two-band rotary chorus (aka “leslie simulation”). – Adjustable Distortion with Drive and Output level controls. – Built in Crossover at 800Hz. – Horn Filter with variable Frequency and Q Controls.

A selection of VST synths, complete with 500+ professionally-designed presets for any genre.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS

VST plugins are virtual instruments and effects that you can use in productions. They can recreate classic synth designs, or represent completely new ways of making sound. VST plugins are easy to use; download them, install, and your DAW will pick them up and let you use them in the workstation. From classic instruments to experimental indie gems, there’s a huge world of both paid and free VST plugins to choose from. Native has spent decades creating and developing some of the world’s leading VST plugins with REAKTOR, KONTAKT, KOMPLETE KONTROL, and loads more.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS FOR SYNTH SOUNDS

VST plugins can be used in a wide variety of ways to create synth sounds for songwriting and production. Almost any instrument can be turned into a VST plugin, and more often than not, when you need a certain kind of sound there’s a VST plugin for it. There are several varieties of VST plugins for synth sounds that are worth noting. Polyphonic VST plugins create more than one note at a time, so are great for building complex melodies, chords, and harmonies, while monophonic VST plugins play one note at a time and are commonly used for basslines. Some VST plugins strictly model themselves on reproducing sounds you would expect from analogue instruments, but others go way beyond that. Wavetable VST plugins like MASSIVE and MASSIVE X tend to focus on helping producers create something unusual and completely different to traditional instruments, and can be more useful for experimental productions than other VST plugins.

HOW TO USE MULTIPLE VST PLUGINS

Trying things out and exploring new territory is hugely important when trying to craft something unique, and using multiple VST plugins will give you a wide range of instruments and sounds to work with. Chaining multiple VST plugins together sis a typical way to start crafting a sound you can call your own. Feeding one VST plugin instrument into a VST plugin effect will alter them even further. This is also common with digital production as lots of recording tools come in VST plugin form – there’s no issue with running multiple VSTs at once – simply load them in and start playing. Native offers over 2,000 free sounds and more than 6 GB of free VST plugin content with KOMPLETE START, so if you’re looking for some inspiration it’s a great way to get started.

The PSP L’otary2, is our ultra high quality emulation of a rotary speaker (VST, AAX and RTAS for Windows; AudioUnit, VST, AAX and RTAS for Mac OSX). We based our algorithm upon two original and legendary models: the Leslie® 122 and 147, and spent hundreds of hours perfecting our simulations. In other words, this is not just another modulation effect! PSP L’otary is capable of reproducing as precisely as possible the classic sounds of those famous rotary speakers.

That said, the PSP L’otary2 is capable of creative divergences from the original. For example, you could set up both the rotating high frequency horn and the rotating low frequency drum independently from each other and emulate speakers with a static drum or even a broken horn or drum engine.

I just integrated the new PSP L’otary plug-in to the film score for the movie Chappie. It was a perfect blend of authentic and creatively flexible. It added so much to my mix. I even used it on percussion. Great new tool that does something that no other plugin I have does.

The PSP L'otary is so great that I'm thinking of selling my Model 120 Leslie. It's not only the best rotary sim, it's one of the best rotary cabinet sounds I've ever used. Amazing!

I have to say, I think PSP 'nailed it' on the L'otary plug-in. I've owned Hammonds and Leslies for years, including the old 122 I've played a '51 C2 through on tons of records. But these days, when so much is done 'in the box', I've wanted a way to get the same sound with VIs and recorded tracks. Now I can. And the beauty is, you can run anything through it. Organ, Wurly, Clapton style guitar, Lennon style vocals, synths, pretty much anything you would want to hear through a real one, sounds great through L'otary. I'm particularly impressed with both the realism and the adjust-ability included. There's mike positions & distance, ambiance, ramp up and down speeds, amp types, crunch and distortion, and my favorite, a knob for bringing in the mechanical noise that a real one makes as motors turn and wind hits the microphones. Awesome!

The new PSP L'otary - rotary cabinet simulator plug-in is the most authentic Leslie cabinet sound I've ever heard. I've used it as an insert on a track and also as an effect to send to a track. Either way, it has the sound and feel of having a real leslie cabinet in the room. The bar has been raised!

Wow, this new PSP L'otary plug-in is incredible, very subtle and real and can be used - as is - as a direct Leslie rotating horn replacement. I should note this plugin is very sweet sounding, so depending on the microphones you would normally mic a physical studio Leslie with, you may want to post EQ slightly in the case of getting a slightly screechier top horn sounds that typical live performance PA SM57s give. Very real and a great sounding piece of software. All in all, another 'A' level plugin from the PSP VintageWarmer guys in Poland. Kudos!

I'm a B3 player from way back and I know the sound of a Leslie speaker intimately, so believe me when I say that the new PSP L'otary is the best Leslie simulator that I've come across. All PSP plugins are killer to begin with, but the company might have surpassed itself with this one.
