Tongue Drum Vst Free Rating: 3,7/5 6998 reviews

MiniSpillage is a drum machine VST that is fully capable of putting all your tracks through its high-resolution 64-bit DSP processing to ensure every sound and track comes out sounding professional and clean. This is by far one of my favorite free drum plugins for Mac users. My history of hosting Minecraft parties helped me develop my love for this instrument after listening to its soothing, atmospheric soundtrack.

The drum machine changed music. There’s no getting around it.

Tongue Drum Vst Free Audacity

Every DAW software these days comes with some sort of sampler or drum machine built right in. They’ve become a pillar of modern music production.

But picking a sound can be tough when you have infinite possibilities at your fingertips.

That’s why these drum VST plugins are so great. They impose some limitations to help you corral the creative juices a bit.

So here’s the 10 best free drum VST plugins for making your drums pop.

1. T.REX 606

The name says it all. The T.REX 606 is a compact rompler modelled after the iconic Roland TR-606 drum machine.

The simple interface keeps things basic. Which is nice these days when so many VSTs are needlessly complicated.

It’s just volume, reverb and 7 classic sounds. Easy peasy.

2. Djinndrum

The Linn LM-1 is a classic drum machine. It’s been used by everyone from Peter Gabriel, to Prince, to Michael Jackson.

But let’s face it, these days they’ve gotten a bit pricey for what they are.

No problem, The Djinndrum has you set for all that classic sound that the LM-1 packs in.

3. Drum PRO

Drum Pro has 20 built in drum kits, 12 pads and global effects, what more do you need from a drum machine plugin?

The Drum Pro has you covered no matter what you’re making. Big EDM? Check. Techno? Check. Everything else you need for sweet drums? Check that too.

4. Line of Legends

This plugin may not look as technical as others. But don’t let the looks of Line of Legends fool you.

This plugin boasts 47 high quality samples, 8 individual output channels, and punch, release & attack knobs for some serious tweakage. Free vst plugin progressive house.

Heads up: you may have to set up the output channels in your DAW if it’s only showing one channel. So check your DAW manual to figure out how.

5. Sean Pandy Drums

Sean Pandy Drums is based on a sample pack made by heavy metal drummer Sean Pandy. So if you’re looking for a heavier drum sound on your mix, this VST will definitely give you it.

The ‘Sub Blower’ is especially good and certainly lives up to its name…

6. KickMaker

2 of the most important elements in any track that thumps is the kick and bass. So they deserve some serious attention.

That’s what makes KickMaker so great. It’s a plugin built for crafting the perfect kick. So what’re you waiting for? Get kickin’.

7. Beat Factory Drums

Beat Factory Drums is easy to use, sounds great, and packs a serious punch.

It has fully tweakable ADSR parameters so you can customize each and every kit to your sound. Not bad for a FREE plugin. Redd vst plugins.

All you have to do is enter your email and that’s it.

8. MT Power Drum Kit 2

MT Power Drum Kit 2 isn’t just a plugin for drums. In addition to top notch drum sounds that cut through any mix, it also has a fully pre-programmed groove library.

It’s wicked for composing your own patterns, or stringing together grooves for the drum accompaniment you need.

9. Dub Turbo DrumTROOP

The DrumTROOP drum machine is big both in its sound and what it offers. It’s a powerful tool for everything from EDM to house and back again.

Their website calls it a “weapon of mass production.” I can’t really disagree with that. It’s definitely massive is every respect.

10. Single Cycle Vintage Drum Elements

Vintage Drum Elements has a nice, warm analogue sound that so many vintage drum machines have.

The 12 pad interface is easy to use and tweak, and the preloaded samples are all top notch.

Drumming up the perfect sound

Nothing beats a banging drum track. They’re the backbone of tons of top notch songs.

And the drum machine is a superb way to hone in on a specific sound for your tracks.

So grab these sweet plugs and program away!

I don’t go crate digging for free instruments quite as often as I used to, but I still use them from time to time. Some of these are Kontakt instruments, some are VSTs, and some are soundfonts.

Drum Vst Mac

  • Get Kontakt Player! Seriously! Soundfonts and VSTis are going out of style, so you’ll miss out on many high-quality free instruments without it. Many free Kontakt instruments have a “full version only” disclaimer, but this isn’t exactly true: Kontakt Player will load third-party instruments just fine for 15 minutes, at which point you just have to reload the VST.
  • If you find a free instrument you like, don’t wait to download it. If you eventually find a replacement for that instrument but still like the free version, don’t delete it. F2P instruments have a tendency to disappear overnight, and not even the Wayback Machine can scrounge up a lost 300MB download.
  • Sometimes instruments based on free samples from the internet (such as many bigcat instruments) are licensed under CC BY-SA or something similar. Obviously no one’s going to come after you if you fail to credit the author of the samples in one of your instruments(?), but it’s good to be aware of the license in any case. Of course, if you’re already roaming the wild west of those anonymously sourced internet soundfonts and samples that are only de facto in the public domain, it’s already too late for you anyway.

Instruments

Piano

Pianobook library
Launched by Spitfire co-founder Christian Henson, this collaborative project features a variety of free home-sampled pianos as well as their stories.
City Piano
City Piano is a great bread-and-butter piano based on public domain samples.
Pop Piano Free
I own several commercial piano libraries, but still frequently come back to Sonic Cat’s Pop Piano when I need keys for bright, upbeat tunes.
Upright Felt Piano
Everyone needs a felt piano in their life. Email address required.

Solo Strings

pocketBlakus Cello
After creating pocketBlakus, Blake Robinson eventually collaborated with Embertone on a more robust commercial cello library, the Blakus Cello. However, even for owners of the full version, the original free instrument is well worth downloading for its Swiss army knife spiccato patch.
MiniErHu
The erhu is a lovely instrument. You owe it to yourself to have one, mini or otherwise.

Guitar

Shreddage 3 Stratus FREE
The nice thing about Shreddage 3 over its predecessor is that the guitars come with an effects rack built-in and a lot of presets that make it easy to get up and running with a virtual guitar setup without the need to use your own plugin signal chain. The free version of Shreddage 3 Stratus only includes a few articulations, but is otherwise fully functional.
Spicy Guitar
This is actually a physically modeled guitar synth. It’s lightweight and suitable for understated guitar chords.
Cryptar
Atom Hub’s Cryptar is an awesome eclectic guitar library. Its affected haunting sound is great for ethereal melodies, though maybe not so great for chords and fast strumming.
Valiha
I understand the Valiha is not a guitar in the traditional sense, but I’m white and don’t know any better.
ChineeGuZheng Classic
Okay, admittedly also not a guitar. I just wanted to avoid making a subheading called “ethnic instruments,” yknow?

Woodwinds

Ivory Wind
Unfortunately, recorder and kazoo libraries take themselves more seriously than people of our generation would like, so you’re out of luck if you’re looking for a shittyflute. Still, when used properly, the recorder is not actually a terrible instrument! Download this now, because I’m one of the suckers who paid $10 to subsidize it :T
Peruvian Ocarina
What it says on the tin.
Wooflute
This is a bamboo flute with legato and staccato notes, as well as flutter tongue and accented notes, which you don’t often see in free instruments.

Synth

P8
Along with Synth1, P8 is a popular choice for freeware composers looking for a supersaw sound.
Phutura
Available as a Reaktor ensemble (Phutura 2) or a VST plugin, Phutura is an Alpha Juno emulation with the best free hoover sound on the market.
Rave Generator 2
Rave Generator has all the 90s stabs you didn’t even know you needed.

Drums

Grooove BPB
This feature-limited version of the drum player by brunsandspork is perfect for creating simple drum kits. The BPB edition also comes with five bread and butter kits to start.
Cinematic Synthetic Drums
Impact Soundworks offers this collection of epic electronic drums for free. Checkout required.
Percussion Elements
This limited cinematic drum library taste pack from Splash Sound features various hits on bass drums, “ethnic” drums, and tops from four different mic perspectives. Checkout required.

Vocals

Alter/Ego
Plogue’s answer to Vocaloid has two free banks to download, Marie Ork and Bones.

Just for fun

Orch Hit VSTi Demo Version
There are a lot of good sounds in here, but number 27 will be your staple for adding that extra punch to your tracks.
Super Spook Keys
Add some sci-fi spookiness to your tracks with this virtual theremin.
Stylophone
What, you don’t know what a stylophone is? Neither does spellcheck apparently. It kind of sounds like an Otamatone.
Haunted Music Box
It’s a music box with some reverse patches and other spookery.
Death Piano LE
Same as the above, only it’s a piano.

Orchestra

Versilian Studio Chamber Orchestra Community Edition
VSCO has apparently devoured Sonatina and other alternative libraries to create the ultimate Frankenstein library made purely of public domain orchestral samples.
Versilian Community Sample Library
Available as .sfz or as Kontakt instruments from bigcat, the VCSL aims to expand on the collection of samples and instruments already offered by VSCO CE.

Effects

Reverb

Reverberate LE
If you’re not willing to hemorrhage money, LiquidSonics’ free version of Reverberate should be right up your alley.

Just for fun

CensorCut
Censor your inappropriate rap songs!
Radio FX
Add up to 8 wav files and tune between them using the big knob.

Utilities

Mutant v3 (Windows)
A Japanese freeware utility by Crypton Future Media to organize your sound effects, loops, and samples in a local database. Add folders, then play and tag your files right from the browser. The program shows waveforms and meta fields like key, BPM, filetype, genre, instrument, etc.

Resources

Bedroom Producers Blog
BPB, and similarly Rekkerd.org, are great resources for staying on top of soundware giveaways, freebies, and sales.
VST 4 FREE
This site is home to the old, the abandoned, and the super obscure among VSTs.
Spitfire LABS
Spitfire releases free experimental instruments every month. Personally, I wasn’t able to get the LABS plugin to work the first time I tried (probably Mixcraft’s fault ahem), but I own a lot of the donationware LABS Kontakt instruments before they made the switch to the new format, and they’re totally awesome.
Noiiz Instruments
Samplephonics has expanded their offering of virtual instruments since launching their new subscription-based platform, Noiiz. With a free account, you can download one (1) of their instruments listed here. Note: Do not waste your download on the Leeds Town Hall Organ. You can still get it as a Kontakt instrument on their old site. Your other option of course is to make 40 dummy accounts and download one instrument on each, but don’t tell them I told you to do that. 🔫👀
bigcat instruments
A treasure trove of Kontakt intruments, soundfonts, and VSTs made from public domain or Creative Commons-licensed samples.
VI-CONTROL’s free instrument thread
Subforums like this one and the sample library threads on Scoring Central sometimes have homemade instruments or samples by music hobbyists.
Newgrounds(!)
Newgrounds’ audio forum is home to many young composers who enjoy throwing collections of orchestral soundfonts at each other.
Sampleswap
Though the site makes no guarantee as to their license, you can find some really interesting samples and loops here. I found a trumpet riff I recognized from some Neopets flash game music once, and yknow that was just a magical moment.
Looperman
This is a great resource for well-made music loops and acapellas, perfect if you need some inspiration or are missing a certain kind of instrument or style from your tracks.
