For those of you using
audio apps that support VST plugins, you'll be
happy to note this page of many wonderful and free
VST plugins. Unfortunately, as is the nature of the interweb, a few of the links have moved or gone dead. In fact,
several now point to those crappy "search" sites, where some fool has gone in and made a page that looks like
what you're looking for, but they are all paid links. So I went down the list and tracked down the bad links. Then I
tried to find the new home of those plugins. What follows is the list of apps linked from the page, with what I found
for each one.- DKL - appears to be good, link directly to exe though
- 4Front- BassModul - link to links page, popups abound. The free versions of 4Front stuff can be found here, the commercial site is here.
- Arguru's stuff - anything in Aodix has been moved, as Aodix is now a commercial product.
- GalactiX - link is good
- Andreas Errson's stuff - links are good
- Askywhale's VST goodies are now on his own page.
- DelayLlama (pictured at right) - good to go, not to mention cutesy
- Anemone - good
- Trollo - nope, here is Axxeom's site.
- Ticky Clav - direct link here and Cheeze Machine is here
- phat_Matik - it's OK, link to .zip file
- Impulse - link to Bojo Software, and they make other freeware too...
- Quacker - link to zip is fine
- DMI Hammer - new page is here where you'll also find the Flute plugin
- Scrubber - good
- Elogxa's stuff is all on the Elogxa VST page now (makes sense)
Read the rest of the list after the jump.
- e-Phonic stuff is good, but the author has also launched a VST plugin search site, RocketloopCrystal - OK
- UltriDia - has a new website, but you can still download from the link provided
- Dirtbag - has a bandwidth-limited site, nothing we can do about that!
- JX220 - OK
- Klangformer - all gone, apparently from a death (the developer)? And they've shut the door on distributing the software any more... Plus, you're not allowed to redistribute the apps. Wow, that's lame.
- Krakli - all of it appears to be intact, which is a good thing, as there are quite a few on there. Some neat stuff too.
- Land of Cockaigne - looks like they are still going strong.
- LinPlug's FreeAlpha - OK
- LoftSoft's plugins are still around
- LR-Synths - seems to be all gone
- maxim Digital Audio - go to this page instead
- Tau - links to a zip
- nashNet's Mivi is a very cool plugin, and you can find complete documentation and source on Mivi's page
- Loopazoid - looks fine
- NOVakILL has a new website
- Odo synths has a bunch more goodies on their website
- Bazzline - direct link to zipped app
- reFX's Claw - still available for free
- Triangle II - good to go
- Rumpleraush - they're all still there
- Chip32 - still in Japanese, but it's there
- SampleTank - yes, it's a free demo, with all those registrations to be done, but worth it from what I hear. That is, if you're eventually going to buy it.
- SK's plugins appear to be active, and link directly to the zip
- SoftRave's DAO - couldn't find it anywhere, links are already dead on the list
- SampleFarm - still free, still limited (crippled version of full plugin)
- StyloPhone - the link takes you to a broken page with text, but the link to the plugin didn't work. But you can still download it from a link on Sounduser.
- VB1 & Neon - from Cubase... what do you think? Of course it's active!
- ZV-Bass - couldn't find it anywhere
- 4Seasons - yes, it's available (although a little strange), and all the Tobybear stuff appears to be active.
- Turntablist - yes
- Virtual Creations has a bunch of stuff, but I couldn't find the bass synth on their pages.
- MIDI Monitor - yep
- Wantech - appears to be active, and even has a BBS for support in English...
- Cyber - apparently Webmassiva sold their domain to one of those creepy link sites. You can find Cyber VST here.
- Wombat - both plugins available
- ConcreteFX - still giving it all away for free.
Well those of you still reading apparently love your VST plugins. So fire up Logic, Cubase, or what-have-you and enjoy. If you have any sample tunes made with any of these free tools, feel free to send us a link in the comments.
