Curious if anyone has a favorite piano plugin, particularly on the muted, dusty and/or slightly detuned tip : - ) sampled/synthesized, free preferred but willing to look into paid options

Been lusting after vintage polyphonic Oberheims for decades, for pad sounds, but they are expensive, as is the new OB-6. Was almost about to buy U-he Diva when this crossed my event horizon recently, a freeware soft synth based on the OBX/OBXA/OB-8. And the lush pads are just spilling out of this thing!

Tweaked a preset, added some effects and EQ:

Can grab it for free here:

It appears to be $49?

No, it’s free! Scroll down:

OB-Xd has no restrictions and is free to use. Buy to support further development, thank you!

Aha! That doesn’t show up on their mobile site, and I was in my phone. Gotcha.

Great. It’s definitely worth a download and tweak if you are looking for lush pads for free!

And handily available for Linux too - I’ve used this off and on for a while, but haven’t really been using VSTis very much until more recently.

Full Bucket Music has a new, free, and (looks to be) useful sequencing plugin out:

Here’s my current list of cool free plugins for your daw!

Recently downloaded this one:

It sounds very clean to me, which might or might not be your thing, but it’s got a nice clean UI and features you usually don’t see in free delays.

I prefer this one though:

which I find sounds a bit more dirty and vintage with the right settings.

And talking about dirty delays, I totally love this one

Probably because it somehow reminds me of the delay mode on the OTO Biscuit.

Surge was recently open sourced, and it’s really a nice, cross-platform (yeah, linux too!), fully featured synth plugin, with some pretty advanced features. Highly recommend to check it out, if you’re looking for that kind of thing:

Reviving this thread to give a major shout out to Felt Instrument’s Wolno (piano sampled to tape played back half speed) and Valhalla DSPs Supermassive (reverb/delay goodness) — I believe these have been mentioned elsewhere but for completeness thought they should be here too

Okay, now I’m off to make an album using these two : )

Supermassive is so absurdly good it felt like it belonged in the favorite plugins, worth buying thread! :joy:
