New Best Free VST Instruments

Making digital music is quite affordable. That's because once you own a DAW like FL Studio, you can beef it up with lots of free VSTs. Sure there's a lot of trash out there, but there are also some gems that even surpass some commercial VST instruments in quality and sound.

Here are a some of the best VST synths that are free and sound great.

OBXD

OBXD is an emulator of the famous OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 synths. It sounds very thick and and direct. It has a very powerful sound that you'll need to tame with some EQ but it can be useful.

They have some videos of its sound on their website which you'll see when you click the link below.

Triple Cheese by u-he

This VST is as tasty as its name sounds. In contrast to OBXD, Triple Cheese has a very soft and warm sound. It's good for pads and ambiences.

Listen to its cheesy fullness in this video. For absolutely free, it's a must have.

Tyrell N6 by u-he

This one is amazing. I would describe its sound as "dimensional" because it doesn't sound too dry out of the box. Its bass presets are very good. I would recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a VST for Deep House. This one sounds so retro and high quality, it's just awesome, honestly.

Listen to this:

It's not the best video quality, but the guy goes through multiple sounds which gives you a good idea on what it sounds like.
