I'm a new mac user
I use a stand alone mackie hard drive recorder
and I want to use my mac for a few plugins
I've just got a cheap sound card (audiphile)
and mackie's music software tracktion cos it's simple
I'm intending to buy antares auto tune which will clear me out
financially
and I'm trying to find a free simple analogue synth plug in
something with white noise and bass sounds
i've google'd for freebies but not had that much luck
li'l help?

Here's one for free. I haven't tried it but I have read good things about it. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/Main.html?keyboardss2

Once you'll get in funds, buy the pluggo collection from cycling'74, ots of things for not a lot of money (treatments and instruments).

Now, here's a list of VST instruments at Steinberg, you find other freeware/shareware running on mac, and you have our soft pages maintained by June Bug

Try this site:
http://www.kvr-vst.com/

Tons of info for all types of plug-ins, free and commercial, VST, AU, RTAS etc.

Here's another free one.

I like this one:
LinPlug FreeAlpha
and
ReFx Claw
and also you can get the basic original muon tau bassline synth free (not demo crippled) in their "demo collection" package:
Muon demo collection
have fun.

to all the people who have replied to my query, you are all gods!
I salute you

Here is a cool Synth (can't say enough good things about it)

Ummm....I find it strange that no one mentioned there is a comprehensive list. RIGHT ON THIS WEBSITE. Just click the "Soft" tab above......

Hi:)
ScheezeMachine is good and also claw. Made by big tick.
Earlier they didnt have for mac osx, but now;
http://www.apulsoft.ch/freeports/
On that site there are more plugins also. try them out.

Plugsound have a free version.

I´ll find more links

Anyone know how I can get a free copy of Prosoniq Dynasone X VST plug in?... I have the original Finalator OS9 version, but no serials to upgrade. Is there a free download available?

May i add the 295 VST plug-ins listed at:
http://www.macmusic.org/softs/softcat.php/...ang/EN/id/7023/

Those with a "F" in the licence column are freeware.

most sites have been posted but not this:

http://macmusic-org/ = you are already here
http://vst-mac.info/ = if you want them ALL

The only problem I find with most of those listings is that they don't tell you which is freeware or which is $$$$$hareware.

So you've got to do a lot of hunting. Also some sites say free "download" and that's all they are just a "free" download.

Or for example, Ambience, which claims to be "free" but it really has a "nag" message which can be cleared with a "donation".
