Anyone know any free Vsts that are worth using ( or very low cost ones) preferably bass vsts, and no ham vst comments please (although hilarious i know)

Thanks

"bass vst"
. only one i know of is Trillian by Spectrasonics
n it's deffo NOT free

any synth should be able to achieve a bass sound.

it just takes practice and know how. why look for a quick fix?

What DAW are you on? Most come with at least basic synths, sometimes very advanced ones. Check out TAL Elektro and his others, google Togu Audio Line. Also Oatmeal, Synth1, Crystal, Superwave...

Using FL studio 9 atm, havnt really played about with the synths that come with it as i heard theyre pretty poor, but ill have a look at those too.

Op, you want the itchy synths pack.

FL has some of the best plugins around man, the synths too. 3osc is godly for basses, deceptively simple synth with a big sound. Can do anything from reeses to insane sub to 8bit fx.

Now I don't know about that lol

3 sine/square/triangle oscs, LFO, Filter, Detuning, Stereo spreader, Envelopes and more all built in that little thing. Plus you can load your own waveshapes/sounds in it! I meant sub bass, but it also has saw waves and a noise osc so there's plenty of options. Add a little parallel processing with the Hardcore pedal/ampsim plugin or maybe the Waveshaper. Makes me want to install the new FL tbh. It can do some serious things with a little creativity, but that goes for any plugin. Except HamVST, that's just cheating.

Tal elec7ro. Free, awesome.

must-have freeware synths, both great for bass:
TAL-NoiseMaker
Tyrell N6

Tal

The TAL vsts are really good, really liking noise maker and elek7ro but theres no way of modulating them? im kinda struggling with crystal haha, although the sounds look quite promising

They both have basic modulation options in the form of a couple of LFOs and mod wheel. If you mean automation too, afaik every knob and slider on them can be automated. Crystal has a nice mod matrix, but automating and assigning MIDI CC was weird from I remember, although it's possible. I don't have it installed right now but I think it's been updated quite a bit since I last used it anyway.

synesthete?

i may have used the wrong terminology, but you know in NI massive theres the performer? how do you control the cuttoff on the filters and stuff like that without this? i did try to use a formula controller but it kind of failed... any ideas?

Yeah you can use the LFO, assign an LFO to the cutoff (dest) and then automate the LFO knob. Or just automate the actual filter which is what I would recommend as I find that more precise. Or do both.
That filter on the TAL site is somewhat similar to the performer in Massive, check it out.

ahhh cooool, thanks man

Honestly, the amount of love for TAL in this thread is next level
