Even the critically-acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer uses it for his film scores. But the Model EO pushes the Minimoog even further. It also has a Glide and portamento effect as well as Mono-mode. These are not phenomenal additions given our modern standards, but if you are a fan of the Minimoog, having this in your arsenal will feel like a blessing. A good bass sound is one of the trickiest to make, so any great bass plugin is heaven-sent.
Building on two layers from the available waveforms, Bass Masters provide the tools for meticulous sound sculpting. Aside from the usual effects, further manipulation can be done through the three-slotted mod-wheel function. These are more than enough to make your bass sound natural and kicking.
Overall, Bass Master is an impressive plugin, especially those looking for versatility and total control over their bass sounds. Definitely not just a simple groove-builder, Monoment is capable of producing deep, complex, and droning soundscapes as well as dirty, in-your-face riffs.
A wide range of timbres are readily available, and all can be detuned by up to cents. A frequency crossover point between the two generators can also be selected to enrich selected fundamentals and registers. There is also a curious Ageing control that is meant to add an analogue-esque dimension of unpredictability in the sound and tuning. Some reviews point out the apparent lack of envelopes.
This is compensated by a punch amount control and a release control which, for most purposes, will suffice. It also demand a fairly steep learning curve. Virtual instruments include keyboards , drums, brass, and other traditional instruments. All of these can be simulated within FL Studio. This makes a producer simultaneously a pianist, a drummer, a trumpetist, and conductor — a one-person orchestra. Many complain that it is not realistic-sounding at all, given its clunky velocity and sensitivity.
The presets are also very limited, making it barely usable. Synthesizing a piano is actually very difficult, given the complexity of the piano as an instrument. All these create a warm and rich piano tone that sounds and feels very natural. The Addictive Keys bundle includes the Studio Grand which is the go-to sound for a professional-sounding piano. The instruments can be partially shaped through basic parameters such as tone, drive, reverb, and tremolo. Aside from that, Addictive Keys leaves the user to spice up the sound with external effects.
This is actually good, as the instrument hogs quite a lot of CPU space by itself. Unlike most instruments, Signal is not focused on creating sounds per se, but pulses. These pulses can be aggressive and or lush and arpeggiated, not unlike the tempo-based VSTs such as Omnisphere.
The origin of the pulse is usually an audio source which can be further layered with another audio. This sound is then processed through what Output calls a Pulse Engine. This movement can be looped, thereby creating a pulse. Two layers of different rhythms can be played on top of each other which creates wild rhythmic combinations and syncopations.
All of this magic can be accessed only when one decides to go deeper from the macro controls. As such, it is a relatively accessible plugin given the complexity of its processes. The Signal, needless to say, is unique and can be used to come up with a slew of crazy pulses and rhythms. The Serato Sample has become synonymous with sampling in recent years. Sample was made with DJs in mind. The recent expansion from 16 to 32 pads also effectively doubles the number of samples one can play with.
There is minimal editing that can be done on the samples aside from pitch and time shifting. But for the minimal requirements, Sample does a solid job being what it is. Not only did Sonivox have to sample an entire orchestra and its individual instruments — they also needed to figure out how to model complicated acoustic environments. The result of all this painstaking work is a real and breathing orchestra right under your fingertips. The Companion Series has several components: the Orchestral Companion Strings which includes 9 gigabytes of string ensemble samples, the Orchestral Companion Brass which is 5 gigabytes of solo and ensemble brass, the Orchestral Companion Woodwinds which samples 9 gigabytes worth of woodwinds, the Eighty Eight Ensemble which is 9 gigabytes of an orchestral ensemble and an entire Steinway piano, and finally the Big Bang Cinematic Percussion which contains 15 gigabytes of orchestral and ethnic percussion sounds.
Needless to say, this is a huge library that would push your machine to the limit, so be careful. Not only are the samples expansive, but each instrument is also expressive. Each instrument has its own multi-velocity layers and can be modulated through the mod-wheel. Of course, audio effects lend some extra kink to the instruments. The Sonivox is as good as it gets when it comes to orchestra sounds.
Drums provide rhythm and regularity to music. As a music production tool, FL Studio is based on loops, which are rhythmic patterns. The modelling done is impressive. This gives you full control over the sound of a drum. For a native plugin, Drumaxx is indeed special. The creative possibilities are practically endless. Another quirky yet powerful free plugin, Beat Assist has 12 slots for. These samples can be shaped through body controls, attack and release, pitch stations, and a lot of other parameters.
Beat Assist has a very simple look, but it is light-weight and can do a lot of things that more expensive drum machines can do.

As far as FL Studio free plugins go, this is definitely one of the most inspiring, multi-faceted options out there. Native Instruments are without the doubt the most renowned, acclaimed audio technology company in Their eclectic, innovative range of virtual instruments, effects and sounds have shaped the way many producers think about music creation. Their range of Kontakt plugins are particularly popular, featuring a huge collection of VST software designed for virtually any music genre.
In early , they released Kontakt Start, which includes a huge FREE collection of synthesizers, instruments, plugin effects and almost 1, loops and samples. The next FL Studio free plugin on the list is the criminally underrated synthesizer: Dexed. This free plugin offers a staggering fully automatable parameters, including seemingly endless modulation options, filter controls and everything in between.
Note transition is iffy at best and artifacts are present throughout at least when I used it. The first being someone new to audio production looking to fix a vocal without technical knowledge of tuning vocals. The second scenario is for producers working with singers in the studio who struggle to sing on pitch.
Despite the marketing of Waves Tune Real-Time, claiming instant vocal tuning, I could envision latency becoming an issue in some home studio settings. Here are some things to consider before making a decision. If so, take the trial and check out the software!
Graph editing, like seen in Melodyne and VariAudio, is for advanced vocal editors. If you need a quick tuning for a little enhancement of a track, you may not need to edit each note. If you want to draw in the notes physically, a more advanced pitch correction software will be necessary.
Further features you may desire are formant control, MIDI input for vocoder , and note straightness. Which one do I like most?
