Old Free VSTi Gems From The Past

[dreaddd]

no i mean sth that was even before i think...
only MIDI ..
it was called Cubase GS as it was (if i remember correctly) aimed to be easy usable with GS preset sounds that most of the audiocards had inside the chips in those days: u know those HORRIBLE sounds that let a plastic flavour in your mouth...
but at the time it was that way or the highway (where highway means buy a mixer and a ton of hw and outboard)
Peace

In the spirit of this thread I am posting a link to the original YAVA synth. I
will leave this active for a period of time.

Wow! You're to kind...

[pinkjimiphoton]

BTW pinkjimiphoton a little OT but I've been meaning to talk to you about your SONGS OF PROTEST project on your website. Sent you a PM on it!

L

<shameless self promotion time>
the counter there doesn;t work, lol...
the bushites don;t like us....
but my song Black Heart/Cold Steel made it to # 12 on Neil Young's LWWT website last year.

actually have three or four songs on that page.

somewhere along the way i stopped writing -temporarily, i hope...
my wife is fighting a nasty cancer, so that's my priority the last couple years.

if you'd like to hear more, there is everything i have (other than live covers) up at a small site i was trying to help grow...
here's a link..
there's 19 pages of songs there, everything from blues to accoustic to metal to space to avantgarde zappa-esque classical...
all free, please feel free to download everything so my stats go back up to # 1 again, lol...

ya may wanna avoid my blog and head right for the audio pages...

there are some cover songs on my website, but ya gotta be creative to find them....(look for pictures with frames around them...usually there's something stashed behind there if ya hold your mouse over it...

anyways...

sorry bout the blurb...


VOTE FOR TURNIP AND SATAN ON THE LIBERTARIAN SOCIALIST TICKET!!

the bushites don;t like us...

neither we like them
lol

congrats for succeding on NY's site

EDIT anyone quoting good ole John Winston Ono Lennon as main quotation at the bottom of his page has plenty of respect from me
i rate Lennon as the first person in the music biz, in terms of time and in terms of level of influence, that influenced my way of conceiving music and further even opened my eyes on several aspects of, as musicians, being involved politically and socially in daily life...regardless of the fact i dont play rock... sorry for the OT digression

they REALLY REALLY REALLY don;t like me...to the point of having me bounced off the net on the pRezinhit's last inaugural ball(gag).
long story...ruff being a potential terrorist cuz ya love your country..let's not get too deep, lol...they ARE watching, still, probably.

congrats for succeding on NY's site

i agree with ya totally.
lennon was crazy influential on us all, rock players or not.
much of what we do now would never have happened without him, i mean....look at rocknroll back then....vaguely faggy mama's boys in seaters crooning like perry fuckin' como wearing sweaters....
SWEATERS..

could you imagine if the beatlees hadn;t come along when they did and killed that shit DEAD DEAD DEAD?

christ, even RAP would probably be "good and wholesome"...

<puke>

lennon's nutopian ideals are still valid enough...

imagine what a grate world we'd have if everybody was just COOL to each other.

no surprise he got shot...seems the last one that preached something similar got nailed to a goddamn tree (according to some)...

sorry...lost my mind there for a moment!!!


that steinberg FTP site is a pretty heady place..
some cool things to be found up there, fersure....stuff i've never even HEARD of..
jimi

[dreaddd]

By the way "Tranceformer2" is there- again, i don't know if anyone would want to use it. I don't even know what it is, some odd kind of flanger/modulation thing with *ZERO* control

that one, i agree, was one of the most-quickly-becoming obsolete pluggies by them

This might be what you're after: A GM compatible sound module: ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/Download/Legacy ... d%20Module.

thx for the heads up but it was a sequencer actually
one of the first versions for pc of cubase, i was using it AGES ago with a friend (around 95-96..sheeesh more than 10 yrs already!!)

It's exactly like Delay Lama (you control it w/ an x-y bad and a mouse), but it's a Gregorian Monk (!!). Mabye it was made by the same people as the lama? I don't know, but i want it.

aaaaaaaaaah got confused myself in the past
theres Delayllama and Delay Lama if my memory serves, being 2 different beasts

whoa that sux

heheheh cooool.,,i have a Beatles poster with them hanging out of a club circa 62 63 right over my pc screens

i agree with ya totally.

heheh
actually it was before being called rap and when it was hiphop
lol but that can be a matter of opinion i guess hehhehe


BTW just reminded me that i still have to fully watch "USA against John Lennon" documentary movie: i only managed to see half and i was already thrilled to discover some further things about Lennon that only enforced further my thoughts on him
gosh i miss someone like him in the music

and we allllllllll shiiiiiine oooooooooooooon
Peace out

[pinkjimiphoton]

no disrespect meant towards rapOR hip hop bro...
more meant as a digat TPTB...remember the PMRC?
f**k that censorship trip.

BTW...anybody got any idea what the f*ck a zip called wave23bk goes to?
it's full of FXB's. i know i recently downloaded it, but i can;t remember what the hell it's supposed to go to!!!

most of the steinberg plugs that are at the link above don;t work with savihost...snif....


wait a minute...you're saying we had hip-hop BEFORE the beatles??
i know alot of stuff was done in prose ( a sorta defunct jazz idiom ) but is that the same thing??

i mean, what the hell do i know??
LOL

about the only two musical forms i don;t like are disco and that new country stuff that's really just watered - down southern rock...

[mrcleats]

I just wanted to say a big thanks to all concerned for such a great topic.

I'm very new to all this computer music stuff, and wanted to let you know that I've found this really helpful in giving me access to some great stuff to play with. The free version of the HG Forune/artvera ASET2112 that was linked a few pages back was awseome, and I wouldn't have come across it without you guys. As it happens I've ended up buying artvera's Golden ASET on the strength of it and can only add to the positive comments that several others in this forum have sent Vera's way - service par excellence!

Thanks again,
Karl.

Found this one in an archive just recently.

mda JX10 for PC & Mac OS 9

Its a VSTi port of the MDA JX16 (named as JX10 on the page) found in the old Cubase 5x. It works perfectly and still sounds great!

L

Looks very cool - I've got it and I'll try it now! Thank you sir!

[Integratron]

yah, Ian's synth is cool as hell...
but check out his new string synth the s-3.....


man!!
talk about eargasm!!!!
wrong thread, i know, but damn!!




u will post an updated html of vsti's soon...
over 1200 so far....99% (at least) are freeware.

so...stay tuned!

Oh yea baby. Get the new Krackli S3 here: http://www.krakli.co.uk/zips/s3.zip

No GUI on my download?

[dreaddd]

hey yo =

no disrespect meant towards rapOR hip hop bro...

ops sorry i think i expressed myself in a blurry way: i actually think most of hiphop now (at least the one that gets on records) is a hyped huge pile of *****, although people like Jurassic 5 or AntiPopConsortium (to quote 2 different hiphop directions) make me hope for a change sometimes
i was actually mostly agreeing with you...
when the stuff produced in the west coast started to overcome any other sale in hiphop (IMO), its been a breaking point...from then on the pseudowannabegangsta trend blew up to totalize the scene for most listeners..

more meant as a digat TPTB...remember the PMRC?
f**k that censorship trip.

i remember that **** called Tipper Gore (yes people, the actual wife of the nobel Al Gore, i still get frightened to spell a sentence with "Nobel price" and "Al Gore" in the same line tho) that started all, with Zappa and the metal kids covering her of shite and trying to stop her..gosh how i hated her back in those days...remember the record Zappa released at the time? "The Mothers of Prevention" lol

wait a minute...you're saying we had hip-hop BEFORE the beatles??
i know alot of stuff was done in prose ( a sorta defunct jazz idiom ) but is that the same thing??

i mean, what the hell do i know??
LOL

uh oh wait i didnt say that lol
actually theres a group that especially nowadays has been seen as the proto hiphop ancestors and a cult by themselves anyway as band...
they were called Last Poets and from the 1st record then on, they got a pretty high attention by all the men in black: their social position was practically the same the Black Panthers were preaching at the time, hence the establishment saw them FROM THE START as possible subversive menace..
they were miles ahead of the time musically talking, mixing jazz, african-like percussion and pure funk with their 3 voices interacting in a neverending rhyme, sort of what now has been called slam poetry (a la Saul Williams for instance), if it wasnt for the fact they were doing it like 30 yrs before
sorry for the OT guys,,further infos at http://www.math.buffalo.edu/~sww/LAST-P ... oets0.html

mrcleats : you re welcome ..
BTW this is the demonstration that even digging the dirt to find out gems of the past, may actually bring some sales to the dev, well done

Integratron:
there may be a chance that the uploaded version is the original one? i dunno...afaik the MDA one has not GUI , the steinberg-licensed one has it



i already pointed it out, but ill reformulate again in a sharper way, since some time has passed:
what about creating a community like yahoo groups, hopefully not painful to deal with like yahoo groups, only to chat and stay around and archive some of the gems that are known to be distributable (of course available only to members, not totally public, so that way if an old vsti is donated by a dev, it wont be accessable to every man and his dog browsing around, all the time, if eventually the developer is scared about what people think about an old creation of his ones)
i m already a yahoo group member for Akai, Synth1 and Roland Junos purposes, so for me its not a problem setting a new "club" over there, but i heard negative thoughts about yahoo groups last time i proposed..so what's a decent alternative to yahoo groups to create communities?
let me know your thoughts and opinions about that, positive or negative they are

thought #2: do you guys think it could be useful to edit the first post in a way that can be updated when links expire and collect anyway at least most of the links in this thread on a page?
something along
"in this thread we are talking about
NAME-OF-THE-DEV NAME-OF-THE-SYNTH URL-OF-THE-TEMP-UPLOAD"
i still have some nights to spend at work, hence it may happen i have some time to waste , thats also why im asking

Peace out

[pinkjimiphoton]

d-d-d!!
i can;t believe i didn;t post this before..
a WHOLE LOTTA stuff...

http://www.behringer.com/05_support/u-c ... m?lang=ENG

well worth the surf...

Dreaddd,
thanks for the OT info...
way cool!


BTW...was just listening to the mothers of prevention in my car about a week ago...
MAN!'

did they p.o. FZ!


ANYways....
i'm still digging , found some more (questionable) "gems"...

don;t wanna update the list til i'm reasonably sure i'm done (for now...who the f*** am i kidding>>????
LMAO!)

check the count:

i need a life...
1,303....maybe 30 or so are NON vst synths or apps tho.
and that isn't even counting the ones i'm downloading NOW.



hey... didn;t the original paax sampler come with preset banks built in that corresponded to the GM stuff ?

anybody got one of them by any chance??

i have been REALLY digging VSTi sampl players the last few days...

and actually creating my own samples with stuff like sim synth and stuff...
will post a link later of a brainfart i did last night, sounds like sitars on acid thru an echoplex with fresh tape (i have one of them, but the tape needs to be re-wound and i am CRAZY lazy...they sound great of course, but whatta PIA...better off almost to use Bluenoise's Mountain Echo... speaking of which....i was in the band Blue Noise thru the Mid 90's, there is some live Blue Noise on my website and the indiehitsproductions site....)

Thanks - I think you hit a rich vein here

I'll check them out tonight!

Some really nice synths here!

Especially:

IDJ3OSC-VA
TP30X by Angular Momentum
Swamp - by H.G.Fortune - scary!
All the GTG pieces - I was missing 13.L and 14.L

All real keepers I'd say!
