TAL U-NO-62

(click here for download info) U-NO-62

The U-NO-62 is a polyphonic analogue synth modeled after the famous Roland JUNO-60. For any fan of analogue synths, this is a must-have.

To use this plugin in Pro Tools, you need to purchase the VST-RTAS adapter from FXPansion (highly recommended, and worth every single penny).

Niveau Filter

(click here for download info) Niveau Filter

From the Elysia website:
“Its main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle is quite similar to a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting around a variable center frequency, the high frequencies are boosted whereas the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa) at the same time.”

Studio Devil BVC (British Valve Custom)

(click here for download info)Studio Devil BVC

Yet another “amp simulator”, but a fairly decent one. Simple controls (just like a real amp) and… it’s FREE! Useful for more than just guitar as well (vocals, crushing some drums, etc). A must have, in my book.

(Did I mention it was free?)

Drumcore Free by Sonoma Wire Works

(click here for download info)Drumcore Free

Drumcore Free is a “light” version of the full Drumcore product. It can be used as a “groove player” or as a triggered drum sampler. It includes only 2 drumkits (rock/pop and hip-hop),  and is definitely a “tease” of the full product as it cannot be expanded or added to without puchase, but is still fairly useful.

Massey De:Esser

The De:Esser is exactly what it says, and what you think it is.

Limitations of the freebie:

  • No Multi-mono support
  • No Session-restore functionality (you have to re-set it everytime you open a session)
  • No Save-and-restore functionality (can’t save presets)
  • No Automation

All of these limited features of the free version are available in the full, paid version, which at the price ($79) is really worth it. It still works great as the demo, though, which is why it is listed here.

FXPansion ClapOMatic

clapomatic To download this freebie, you must register for a user account at www.fxpansion.com, then once logged in, go to Support->Account, and it should be available there for you to download (as well as their freebie synth, Orca).

A one trick pony, and kind of silly, but it may be useful in some instances, and heck; IT’S FREE!

A free, band limited version of the EQ Rangers. Definitely worth a look/listen, though you may find yourself hooked by this “tease” into buying the real deal.
