The magic of software virtual instruments ! Recreating known piece of hardware, emulating famous synth, trying to capture the spirit of a machine, attempting to copy the sound and feeling of an instrument!
I've played on a Korg DW-8000 at a friend's studio once. I've played an Ensoniq ESQ-1 and a Roland Juno 106 that were in another friend's studio. I've played a DW-6000 at a music store in the New England area. During the 90s, I once owned a Roland JX-10. I also once owned a Korg DSS-1 Digital Sampling Synthesizer. I even once owned a Kawai K3.
Here’s a compilation of all the articles about free VST plugins that try to emulate the most famous synths, plus links to the freeware plugins that are the only one to recreate a kind of machine (they didn’t get an article). Below is a list of best free VST emulations.
The VSTizer DW8000 is available as a free bundle plugin (available for all Kiss-Box MIDI2TR and CM-MIDI customers). We have converted the two factory tapes from Korg into VST banks, and we are going to add new banks to the library as soon as we convert them. Read all reviews Add A Review.
