Members Vexe Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey guys. New here. I started an account on behalf of searching for a free synth vst that offers very high quality lead patches. I'm wanting some leads similar to what Jordan Rudess has on his Korg Kronos. I know that's a lot to ask for, but there has to be some affordable option out there. It's possible I can drop $50 on some software in a few weeks, but I'll give you list of what I'm using so far: Sylenth1, SuperTron 2.6, TAL- NoiseMaker, Crystal, and Kairatune. I like a lot of the sounds I'm getting out of these vsts, but it generally takes a very long time to get a sound I like. Even when I do create something plausable, I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable using it on a track. Most of the sounds I'm getting are a little weak/cheap sounding. They're free vsts so I can't complain, but I'm looking for something that sounds huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 First of all, welcome to HC. Are you running a Mac or a PC? Any particular plug-in format that you need? IOW, what DAW / host are you using, if any? Or are you looking for stand-alone synth apps? Finally, do you have an iPad? You might be surprised by the number of cool (and relatively inexpensive) synth apps that are available in the App Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bill5 Posted May 20, 2018 Members Share Posted May 20, 2018 Second the OB xd for that Oberheim sound. Also found this FWIW - some of what you listed is on here, can't speak to the others: https://www.getthatprosound.com/the-10-best-free-vst-synths-in-the-world/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zerozerozero Posted June 11, 2018 Members Share Posted June 11, 2018 Europa by Propellerheads is an extremely flexible and powerful synth, and now they've pulled it out of Reason's rack and made it a VST. And it's free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
