Free Audio Plugins & Softwares. All the Best VST & Audio Units Available for Free.
Zploger is a software primarily thought as an audio files organizing and archiving software. It comes in two flavours: for audio files and for guitar tabs. The main idea behind the tool is to provide a fast and flexible tag-based search, and to provide a navigate-through-files system.

XO Wave is a digital audio workstation designed to meet the needs of audio and video professionals, with a focus on CD Mastering and audio for video related work. It has support for direct recording from any core-audio device, importing and exporting files in a variety of formats (including songs from iTunes playlists), CD Burning, multi-track editing, and QuickTime synchronization and export.
XO Wave Open on Linux is free. XO Wave on Mac OS X comes in two versions: Free and Pro. Pro adds features such as AU support and CD burns.
A comparison of the available versions is available here.

Note: Currently Linux build doesn’t display GUI due to some problem related to VSTGUI. For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.
Note: I don’t have mac so macOS build is not tested. If you find bug, please report it to https://github.com/ryukau/VSTPlugins.
WaveCymbal is an attempt to make cymbal sound with banded wave-guide model. The result is more like dragging bunch of empty cans or thin metal plate on asphalt rather than cymbal.
Output may be very loud. It is recommended to always insert limiter after WaveCymbal:
- Can be used as both synth/FX.
- Monophonic. One instance represents one physical object.
JavaScript version is available. Requires browser that supports Web Worker and Web Audio.

Kjetil Matheussen’s VST server system has evolved to include the following components:
- A WINE-based server (vstserver).
- A LADSPA host plugin for VST plugins (vst.so).
- A native object for hosting VST plugins in the Pure Data environment (k_vst~.pd_linux).
- A standalone host application for running VST instruments, i.e. VSTi plugins (vsti).

TrapezoidSynth is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with two trapezoid oscillator which is piecewise function of PTR ramp function. In other words, it’s just a fancy version of tri-pulse oscillator:
- Equipped with 2 trapezoid oscillator.
- Pitch drift with white noise for oscillator 1.
- Slope and pulse width controls for trapezoid shape.
- Phase modulation to oscillator 1. Feedback knob is just another phase modulation.
- Up to 8 order low-pass filter with saturation.
- Can be modulate filter cutoff with Oscillator 1 output.
- 2 ADSR envelopes for output gain and filter. Filter envelope can be used to modulate oscillator pitch in octave.
- 2 AD envelopes for various modulation.
- Retrigger control for all envelopes.
- 1 LFO for oscillator 1 and filter cutoff.
- 3 types of pitch slide. Always, only when sustain, reset to 0 Hz when first note on or last note off.
- Pitch slide time offset between oscillator 1 and 2.
LV2 version is used in demo video. Only difference between VST3 version and LV2 version is small details in GUI.

TAL-Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early 80s. It includes analog-modeled components in combination with digital algorithms such as the SFFT (Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform). It includes an envelope follower for each of the eleven bands.
This vocoder is optimized for voice processing and includes some algorithms for consonants to make the voice more intelligible. The carrier signal is a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with a Pulse, Saw, Noise and Sub Osc. But it’s also possible to use the left stereo input as carrier, this way every sound source can be used as carrier signal.
Features:
- 11-band vocoder with adjustable volume for every band.
- Adjustable harmonic control adds harmonics to the carrier signal.
- Adjustable speed of the envelope follower (smudge).
- Carrier VCO (saw, pulse, sub osc, noise – poly and mono mode with portamento).
- Mode for external carrier signals (left input channel as carrier, right channel as modulator).
- Stereo chorus.
- 14 presets, including presets from Dynamix II.
- Manual.
- All sample rates supported.
- Classic vocoder sound.

SyncSawSynth is a synthesizer equipped with up to 10th order PTR sawtooth oscillator. PTR stands for polynomial transition regions which is an aliasing suppressing technique. As the name suggests, this one hard syncs:
- Equipped with 2 of 0 to 10th order PTR sawtooth oscillator.
- Can also use sin. However, hard sync for sin is not alias suppressed.
- 3 types of hard sync option. Only use “Ratio” option for tonal sound.
- Phase controls. Possible to make a square wave with phase inversion.
- Frequency modulation between 2 oscillators. You can be a noise musician in a second.
- 1 AD envelope, 1 sin LFO and 1 pink noise generator for frequency modulation. The AD envelope uses equation (t^a * exp(-b * t)).
- Exponential ADSR envelope saturated with tanh for output gain.
- Equipped a filter that is serially connected 4 RBJ biquad with feedback. Low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch can be used.
- 4 types of filter feedback saturation.
- Linear ADSR envelope for filter cutoff and resonance. The output of filter envelope is logarithmically mapped to cutoff frequency.
- Key follow for filter cutoff and resonance.
Some optimization made into version 0.1.3, however it’s still a bit slow. To keep CPU consumption lower, reduce maximum number of voice.
