Cakewalk Vst S Free Analog Emulations
Cakewalk Vst S Plus A Bunch

On the other hand if you do not like to invest too much time in creating your own patches (like me), then I recommend to buy Arturias Analog Lab.

I used to have Sonar 8.5 Producer, and I miss the VST instruments I used to have.

I thought there must be one that has a popular following of people who create new patches and share them.

What VST plugin instruments have other Cakewalk users found that give a lot of variety of sound for not too much expense.

Cakewalk Vst S Free Analog Emulations

I personally like these: Elektrostudio used to do a fantastic range of free analog emulations, but the website seems to have gone.

You can get them at - actually is a great resource for loads of free VSTs.

Its a bit like a Korg DW8000 Kawai K3 crossover: GTG synths are also not bad: You can get a free Yamaha XG synth here: Note that most of these are 32 bit.

Ive personally not had issues with this, but some of them might not play well with Cakewalks BitBridge.

Not quite as hard to program as the DX7, but still very complicated - FM synthesis tends to be like that.

Assorted real synths, guitars, mandolins, diatonic accordions, percussion, fx and other stuff.

They have a running list of free plugins and instruments bedroomproducersblog.comfree-vst-plugins.

I posted surge the other day, which is now free Plugin boutique do freebies, 1 sales also.

Four operators rather than the DXs six but its laid out really well visually and can do the FM bell, chime and pad sounds very well.

Its also very inexpensive, so long as you have an ipad of course.

In hardware the Volca FM and Yamaha Reface DX also seem to have good interfaces.

Mind you its not hard to improve on the DX 7s incredibly user-hostile minimalist single display and data slider plus a bunch of buttons approach.

Lacking modulation matrix leaves it bit short for my use, but Ive installed it.

Meant to be CPU friendly and not having an FX section is a plus for me.

But then there are PG-8X and Latte (unfortunately 32-bit only).
