Not to trash up this thread with replies my friend but the download is taking forever on a cable provided connection, 32bit=5.4Kb and 64bit=2.3Kb, I started downloading at 7:30 A.M. mountain time and it is still downloading at this moment hopefully no one else is having this problem and those that are watch out.
  1. Top 3 Sound Design VST Plugins From This List We have looked at 29 of the best sound design plugins but let’s give you our top 3. For us, first place has to be Absynth 5 By Native Instruments, this powerhouse of the synth has some of the most unique presets and capabilities.
  2. Depending on the plugin developer you'll install plugins in 1 of 2 ways. Most plugins come with an installer (usually a.exe file). During the installation you will be prompted with where you wish to install the plugins. Assuming that you are running Studio One 32-bit the plugin folder is C: Program Files (x86) PreSonus Studio One 2 Vstplugins.
  3. A deceptively powerful plug-in, that works really well whether you're a novice looking to spice up your DJ sets or an advanced user in search of bringing variety to your sessions. Drag any of 24 effects to one of the 8 slots. Turn its knob and the effect powers up. Turnado’s focus is on beat manipulation, so you will find lots of loopers, slicers and DJ tools in the rack.
edit: first download failed 5+hours download, trying again with high hopes cause I like their plugins(dang).

I am looking for a turntable vst/ plugin that sounds realistic. Tried the fruity scratcher last night, and did not sound real at all. I want to take audio and scratch it as if im doing in on the decks.


2nd edit:the second try worked 3+ hours, Awesome plugins.
3rd edit: this confirmed from KVR post http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=345614 Their server is overwhelmed, might be a good idea to wait a while to allow it to catch up my friends.

Although I am looking to purchase some physical outboard gear in the coming months, much of my production work so far has featured lots of VST plugins. I’ve experimented with a number of different plugins, but I use some more than others. Here are my top 5 favourite VST’s:

5. Sausage Fattener – Dada Life

Sausage Fattener is a simple plugin featuring just two knobs: Fatness, which does exactly what it says on the tin and adds major weight to anything you apply it to; and Colour, which adds a touch of brightness to the overall sound. The plugin could be applied to a bass line, drum buss, master output, or anything else you can think to put it on.

The somewhat comical interface and the lack of parameter information is exactly what makes this plugin great, and the chosen audio can be fattened up by ear to great effect.

4. Phoscyon – D16

equation editor word mac download D16’s Phoscyon software serves as an emulation of the popular TB-303 bass line synth that was released all those years ago. Roland have recently released a new model of the synth, called the TB-03, which I am hoping to get my hands on pretty soon.

I’ve never had the opportunity to use the actual hardware version, though Phoscyon’s functionality is pretty good and its built-in step sequencer allows the user to come up with bass line patterns easily. I’ve been using it a lot lately to come up with ideas for tracks, and the ability to enter notes via MIDI through Ableton allows me to easily integrate the synth into songs.

There are a number of parameters to manipulate, including envelope attack, arpeggiator patterns, slide time and step length. Overall, Phoscyon is a pretty cool synth with plenty to play around with.

3. ValhallaRoom – Valhalla DSP

ValhallaRoom is an algorithmic reverb plugin with main mix sliders that control mix level, decay, high cut and depth. The parameters are extremely easy to manipulate, plus additional sections allow you to adjust early and late reflections.

I find that ValhallaRoom’s presets provide me with a good starting point when trying to apply the right amount of reverb, and the lack of graphical display is a positive aspect from a personal point of view.

Sonically, ValhallaRoom is very versatile, and the mix controls are really intuitive. A complete bargain at just $50!

2. Turnado – Sugar Bytes

Sugar Bytes’ Turnado is a VST plugin based around eight separate knobs, each controlling individual effects. There are 24 effects to choose from, and users can go beyond the knob function to adjust effect parameters to their liking.

There are presets for every single effect, and the Dictator function allows control of all eight knobs at the same time. Inserting Turnado on individual channels can often lead to hugely granular and manipulated sounds, which is great for developing automated effects. Turnado can also be run in standalone, which makes it ideal for use during live performances.

Overall, this is a fantastic plugin with lots of original effects that can be tweaked for hours on end!

1. Drumazon – D16

Similar to the previously mentioned Phoscyon, Drumazon seeks to emulate Roland’s popular TR-909 machine. The plugin comes with additional controls that can’t be found on the original hardware, namely on the kick drum, which features Tune Depth and Pitch controls.

Extra controls give Drumazon added functionality when comparing it to the TR-909, allowing you to define the sound of individual elements in greater detail.

I’ve considered purchasing the re-issued TR-909 recently, although Drumazon is a worthy replacement and hosts a quality sounding drum kit. I’d recommend it to anyone producing techno music!
