In volume 4 of our free VST roundup series we’re gonna give you some soft synth magic. Why synths? Because they sound great and are fun-level infinity.

Soft synths are good for everything on your tracks: massive wall rattling lines, sneaky ambient chimes, or warm chords that lay you down for a tender sonic nap.

But though they may sound good, analogue synths are usually big, breakable and bank-bustingly expensive.

No worries. Just download these free VSTs, throw ’em in your DAW software and transport yourself away to synth heaven.

Discover, download and learn how to use the most popular free vst and au plugins on Splice.
