If you want to get your head around sound design, Syntorial is an excellent platform to learn synthesis on (read our review). To check out all instruments to add to your rig, head to the website here. We review 8 free VST synths to add to your music production toolkit. The best part is that you can do this without any prior registration, but there is the option to donate to the developers if you wish. There are also accompanying audio and video demos for most of the VST plugins, so you can hear how they sound before downloading them. Featuring synths, drums, organ sounds, piano, bass synths, effects and even audio tools, there is a ton of new gear to explore. The site is basically one huge archive of the best free VST plugins and virtual instruments for download. That’s what VST Planet is offering all audiophiles and producers. And while there is no better feeling than gripping that drum machine or effects unit, a close second is acquiring a whole new artillery of sounds for free. If you’re like us, we bet you spend more hours than you’d like to admit browsing music equipment websites and forums for the best deals on your next dream synth. Bass synths, midi organs and everything in between: the best free instruments on the internet all in one convenient place.
