Free Smart Instruments Vst

We all know that VST stands for: Virtual Studio Technology.

But when it comes to these plugins, it stands for Very Strange Things.

Creativity can be found in bizarre places. And these VSTs are no exception.

Put them in your best DAW. Who knows? Maybe they’re the secret ingredient you’ve been searching for…

Komplete Start is also a collection of instruments rather than just one VST. But it’s all free and worth checking out. You’ll get 7 synths, 9 sample instruments, and a couple of FX.

LiveCut by MDSP Smart Electronix can seriously freak a loop out. It’s a beat chopper, but it runs on some less-than-normal logic.

U-He Triple Cheese

It ain’t easy being cheesy. Or is it?

Either way U-he makes cheesy infinitely fun with this ridiculous comb-filter synth. Comb-filter sounds are created through a series of short delays.

The result is some seriously mind-bending sounds spanning from flighty flutes to ambient washes. Happy cheesing.

Ohm Force Symptohm PE

This synth is absurd as in absurdly cool.

Any instrument that has a preset called ‘Dirty Maurice’ instantly caught our attention. And it didn’t disappoint when we started playing with it.

Highly recommended if you wanna start messing around with the sounds of Planetary Motion, Evil Bass, or Dirty Paula.

Tytel Helm

This VST isn’t that strange… yet.

Helm is a synth VST. But you can run it anywhere, change the source code and generally modify the crap out of it.

So the strangeness is in your hands. How freaky can you make it?

Throw a loop in to smash, chop, squish, mangle and roll it until it’s unrecognizable. Then do it again.
