Vital's UI is the best, most intuitive UI I've ever seen on a VST. Everything makes so much sense, no need to route anything, just drag and drop envelopes and LFOs wherever you want.
Hats off this is sterling work. Instant sub. Gonna watch it in chunks over the next couple of weeks. Might try and knock a tune up out of the F tier stuff..
This is an insane video to make, but also really interesting and potentially useful for a lot of people, gotta tip my hat to someone who has been doing music production for so long that they could rank near 20 years worth of VSTs like this.
Free FX not on the list I think are worth mentioning: - CHOWTapeModel (does what the name suggests, it's pretty nice) - Spectral Compressor (does the OTT thing but spectrally) - Airwindows Consolidated (every airwindows effect in a single package, somehow not a huge file even then) - Kilohearts Essentials (very nice collection of basic effects, super straightworward to use) - ++delay (crazy sound design oriented delay), the other three soundhack freebies are worth looking at as well - Quilcom Vocoral (meant to make voice samples sound like choir, doesnt do miracles but goes a long way) - Actually, Quilcom plugins are worth a look as a whole. Unfortunately many won't play well with offline rendering. - and above all, *Cardinal.* (essentially VCV Rack as an open source plugin, which is insane. Can also be a synth btw) On a side note, it's so pleasing to see the Kjaerhus classic series getting some love. I use Chorus and Delay quite often.
That Crystal breed/mutate has given me some of the weirdest, prettiest, craziest sounds I've ever made in my 12+ years of making music. I would suggest messing around with it more.
I saw Benn Jordan's "rating all my gear" video and thought I should do the same for my VSTs. "how long could it take? it'll be over an hour but probably not much more....right?" luckily, I'm stupid and persistent :P
how have I not seen your channel before? this video is awesome! almost 7h of honest plugin reviews nonstop and both your music and the plugin choice is just godly. so much underrated stuff no one ever talks about, except for those channels where they only say "this and that has just been released. ok byye" i'm only at 10min so far but I just know at some point I have to have watched the full thing
oh yeah, airwindows! I discovered and grabbed a few of those after I had finished recording this video and just didn't want to go back lol. loads of A tier stuff imo surge xt, I've heard about but havent used. I could see it rivaling vital but I already have vital for that :P
@@scibot9000 i don't think vital can replace surge. Mostly because vital sounds very flavoured, but it also is limited in effects, effects lanes and layers. Big difference.
mda plugins were one of the first to come out for free when the VST standard was invented. There wasn't a lot else around at that time and they were really handy.
the way my eyes went so wide when i realized you use openmpt, YAAAYYY!!! (And also i didnt expect to see some Comet's Tail VST's here, em essex is my fav artist of all time!!)
Free synths not on the list I think are worth a look (tho I guess uploader doesn't really need MORE): - SurgeXT (widely considered the only free synth to rival Vital) - BR808 (insanely powerful, quite obtuse interface tho) - ZynAddSubFX (also insanely powerful, i hope you like lots of windows) - Charlatan (version 2 is my go-to synth for simpler sound generation, version 3 adds too much imo) - OB-Xd (it's fine to me, people absolutely love this thing tho so ill add it here) - Scylla (a bit limited but fun feature set, used to be a premium plugin) - ADHDidi (pretty cool additive synth) - Spectrobits (you can load meme pics in it) - pretty much any Full Bucket Music synth Also, that version of TAL-Noisemaker is old, the plugin was offered a facelift fairly recently (but functionally its the same i think). Will make a list of FX as well when i get there
yeah there's A LOT out there. I've heard of about half of these myself, but just never grabbed them. I think I slowed down on wanton plugin acquisition after passing the 300 mark lmao
@@laughinginthe90s I never really "got" Charlatan3. In terms of immediate usability, which is what got me into the synth in the first place, version 2 blows it out of the water, in part due to being less featured. Everything is laid out clearly and immediately, no tabs, no popups (of course except dropdowns). I kind of hated how much 3 relies on tabbing, and the modulation section popup especially always trips me up. It doesn't feel like an evolution of the synth I love so much... But of course, when I look beyond that context and judge it for what it is, it's still a quite nice and compact synth which does a lot right, so it doesn't surprise me it has its fans.
@@yousifal-dailami8687 the thing about BR808 is that it's made by a demoscene guy. And the most wicked programmers don't care a lot about UI or documentation. It's kinda tragic BR808 doesn't have documentation though, the modulation section is near unusable with the lack of a manual...
I think we can all agree that this video should be archived in various ways. A lot of work clearly has been done for this video and it deserves to be available not just in this site. Thank you so much for making this.
as the author, i'm keenly aware of every flub and gaffe in this video so I don't think it's worth any pedestal, but perhaps that's not my call to make. :P I have no objections to anyone that wants to archive it, though I kinda wish youtube didn't desync the audio towards the end... iduno how to fix it tho
thanks man, this actually uncovered a lot of long lost vsts that i used to use but forgot about, thanks for the large effort put in here. one thing id say is to give atlantis another chance, its created some of the loveliest pad patches ive ever made (and the atlantis filter fx is great too)
Dude all of your own VSTs are S tier, dont let anyone tell you otherwise! Biggest props for this video! I also played with the thought of having a yt channel reviewing ONLY free VST plugins and going like super deep but i guess it will never happen. But this comes close and im happy someone gives these free old fellas the respect they deserve. Cheers.
About the playable delay: what you're doing is essentially using Karplus-Strong (the plucked string physical model) as an effect rather than a synthesizer so you could look into that if you want to give it another shot. There's an "extended Karplus-Strong" paper that explains how to keep it in tune at high frequencies and a bunch of other stuff.
iirc when i first started messing around with computer music i picked up ferox and chimera because i saw you use it once in a livestream! can't wait to mess around with the other stuff you've curated here :)
This is absolutely AMAZING! You did almost 7 hours of these! You are incredible! You have a spreadsheet so I can make notes of what I liked, OMG!!! Thank you so much!!! Btw DEXED imports/exports SysEx patches - one day I'll publish my "cartridge"... I love the K1v and it has more patches in the drop down menu! About mda Shepard - look up shepard tone and try it on long pads. I've been looking for a plugin like this.
i love you and you now have a new abbonnement, even i don't know what your channel is about as a whole. literally had the same idea to make youtube about exact the same topic you present here. also to make a tier list to this. You motivate me to now make 2500 Videos about the stuff on my Hard drive. but theres also Sforzdano and Decent Sampler. i LOVE the creativity of guys who doesn't try to just copy mainstream industrial stuff. ALSO some 32 bit plugins are just so simple amazing and way ahead of stuff i see today. Awesome video i will enjoy watching it and look how many i will not know.
Wow, this video reminded me how 15 years ago i would sit and mess around in pirated FL after school and trying random free VSTs that you could download from vst4free. You showed some plugins that i forgot from that time: Crystal, Firebird, Galactix, Kairatune, Karnage, Redizer...
JuceOPL is so great, for someone that didn’t understand ANYTHING about synthesis it was probably the best basic synth plugin to use back in the day, S deserved
I’d wanted to chime in on a lot of things, but I’ll keep it to 2. The soft sync on the UHe Tyrell one is a phase lock loop; its not analog exclusive, but uncommon in digital. Other was tunefish4 … it’s brilliant but it’s partly broken cuz it was made as a demoscene challenge to keep the file size down as low as possible; it won that challenge. Really cool, but some harsh compromises I’d guess.
@@ZeusFabien I learned from some other commenters that the authors have updated tunefish to fix the saving issue I was having, so that's my bad for not knowing it updated 😅 "phase lock loop" is a new phrase to me though! fascinating :O p.s., I'm open to hearing the rest of your chimes if you wanted to share. i love reading comments :P
@@scibot9000 right on, w/ tunefish4. Glad to hear that got sorted. I’ve got a soft spot for the one trick pony oddities, but I hard agree with your S tier stuff. Was super happy to see destroyfx stuff, tb ferox and dtBLKfx make the cut. :) amazing 32 bit freeware. I had my own journey like this and recognize many of the things showcased. I can attest the Ensoniq ESQ-1 / ESQ-m (rackmount) emu is on point… bandmate had one, back when… VCV and Cardinal have some really good user library chip emulation modules, if you can deal with the modular workflow. Plogue’s chip synths are really tight too, but paid :/
it's so cool to see how many vst's i had downloaded in the past you had also discovered; Majkens Chimera, chill, am kicklab xl. In fact, I had forgotten how great Majkens Chimera was, it's been disabled in my plugins list for years now despite still having it installed. Great vid, love the stream of consciousness approach. Also Do-Fi is still one of my all time most used vst's, awesome job with that whole bundle!
OK I JUST TESTED YOUR SYNTH AND YEAH THE FM2 ONE IS ACTUALLY S-TIER I SPENT 7 HOURS THE OTHER DAY JUST FµCKING AROUND WITH IT (SAME WITH THE EFFECT PLUG IN) AND ITS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE BASS IVE EVER HEARD HONESTLY THANKS A LOT FOR THE SYNTH AND THE VIDEO ITS AMAZIN' 😊
dude I’ve been watching for like two hours, and I just can't stop, it's mesmerizing! I don’t know why, but this video is genuinely inspiring. Cheers, stranger on the internet! Life is weird… what are we even doing here? hehe, fkking quarks.
Chip32 has a cool gimmick to it: You can individually automate each section of the wave drawing field. Just pray your DAW/Tracker has a nice workflow for that, because Reaper sure doesn't! (Pretty sure this won't be the last comment I make here)
love the video! (and personally I think its good enough to be more than just a footnote on the GST channel) berrtill in particular sounds amazing but I have no clue how you've got it running in openmpt, I found an archived download page but that specific copy at least doesn't seem to run in any vst host I throw it at :(
I'd rather this be more focused if I put it on GST Channel, and I do no have the patience to carefully craft every thought and gracefully demonstrate each VST, so... I made a much shorter video for GST and threw the "raw uncut" version on here \o/ as for Berrtill: I remember a few plugins not working on my new windows install! they had some undocumented dependencies that I ended up grabbing from other places. I think (judging by the DLL import list) it was Microsoft Visual C Runtime library 7.1. maybe see if that fixes it if you can track that down?
I got the idea to make the video after watching Benn Jordan's "Tier-Listing Everything In My Entire Studio". it took longer than I expected to make this lol I was recording several VSTs per day for a month and a half, then I was trimming those recordings down for another month and a half.
Fantastic effort and a great vid, you earned a sub. Got to leave a rec for Wavewarden's Odin 2 since you missed it. This is a modular programmable synth modeled after Propellerheads Thor. Definitely my favorite free synth ever, up there with the top dogs in terms of power/flexibility. And it's open source!
A few comments while I watch: - The Christortion plugin is, I believe, using what's called Chebyshev distortion. If you ever come across that term, that's what it does. - The "cabinet" option on Dirthead is a built-in cabinet simulator, it simulates the effects of the interior of an amp cabinet, which helps shape the sound coming out of it, making it softer and more like what you'd hear from an actual amp. So when you turn it off it turns out harsher. will edit as something else comes up lol
fave plugs you mention that i love: sonigen modular, vital, sq8l (is a is a software model of Ensoniq's classic 1980s synth SQ80 and not a rompler as you say), Tyrell N6, Tridirt, Twin Delay and RetroDelay. Too bad they are only 32bit pliugs, except for Tyrell N6. U-he has some more amazing free ones, included in the computer music magazine. Those are stripped down versions of his commercially available plugs. I even prefer the more simple versions in some cases. ZebraCM and BazilleCM are just amazing.
Hey, great video man!!! I love the ranking. But I really love Ezharm32. I don't really know a lot of microtonal tools so simple to use as yours. Please finish it or put the beta somewhere because it's great and I need it
lmao, i have that thumbnail on an automatic A/B comparison with the saddest looking plugin i could find and buushladen is losing, so that may be subject to change :P
Not a tracker composer or a composer at all myself (but I like to do some tunes occasionally c:), but the work put into this and diversity of plugins is quite frankly insane. Good damn job, probably the most helpful video ever to people who want to learn of new plugins!! I have a question though, I wanted to try some of the plugins myself but I can't find links that you said are in the spreadsheet, are they not linked yet or did I not understand something?
let's see what did i rate it... oh F? lol yeah that was too harsh, whoops. I'm bad at these it's still kinda mid/low tier tho imo. narrow use case and "just ok"

THE GOAT
Wow i really gotta mess around with Vital
Vital is 100% the best free synth. Thanks to it i got into sound design. The ui is very simple to understand.
Vital's UI is the best, most intuitive UI I've ever seen on a VST. Everything makes so much sense, no need to route anything, just drag and drop envelopes and LFOs wherever you want.
58:02 that "uhh yeah" was perfectly on pitch
hi cotiles
with vibrato to boot
Hats off this is sterling work. Instant sub. Gonna watch it in chunks over the next couple of weeks. Might try and knock a tune up out of the F tier stuff..
100% you totally could make some amazing music with the F tier stuff... it'll just be a struggle :P
6 hours and 44 minutes worth of free VST's to fall asleep to
this is a crazy resource, thank you
This is an insane video to make, but also really interesting and potentially useful for a lot of people, gotta tip my hat to someone who has been doing music production for so long that they could rank near 20 years worth of VSTs like this.
Free FX not on the list I think are worth mentioning:
- CHOWTapeModel (does what the name suggests, it's pretty nice)
- Spectral Compressor (does the OTT thing but spectrally)
- Airwindows Consolidated (every airwindows effect in a single package, somehow not a huge file even then)
- Kilohearts Essentials (very nice collection of basic effects, super straightworward to use)
- ++delay (crazy sound design oriented delay), the other three soundhack freebies are worth looking at as well
- Quilcom Vocoral (meant to make voice samples sound like choir, doesnt do miracles but goes a long way)
- Actually, Quilcom plugins are worth a look as a whole. Unfortunately many won't play well with offline rendering.
- and above all, *Cardinal.* (essentially VCV Rack as an open source plugin, which is insane. Can also be a synth btw)
On a side note, it's so pleasing to see the Kjaerhus classic series getting some love. I use Chorus and Delay quite often.
Not sure if it's in the video but Neural Amp Modeler is the greatest for free guitar amp sim. It's also the best tape amp sim atm
That Crystal breed/mutate has given me some of the weirdest, prettiest, craziest sounds I've ever made in my 12+ years of making music. I would suggest messing around with it more.
I saw the title and thought.. how is he possibly gonna make a short video about this..
..then I saw the duration lol

@scibot9000 that's probably why it is so good
Dropping a like for the dedication, you really put in a lot of effort into this. Mad respect. Will be returning to watch more.
I'm surprised not to see Surge XT in the list. Top of S tier for me, even higher than Vital. Amazing video, thank you so much.
AND AIRWINDOWS
oh yeah, airwindows! I discovered and grabbed a few of those after I had finished recording this video and just didn't want to go back lol. loads of A tier stuff imo

funny seeing you here, the internet is a small place i guess
@@skrakptor IKR, knew immediately i had seen them in girls last tour vids
@@skrakptor what in thw damn
Gotta give props for this release oh man... how long you made this bro? wow!
I got the idea to make the video after watching Benn Jordan's "Tier-Listing Everything In My Entire Studio". it took longer than I expected to make this lol
I was recording several VSTs per day for a month and a half, then I was trimming those recordings down for another month and a half.
Fantastic effort and a great vid, you earned a sub. Got to leave a rec for Wavewarden's Odin 2 since you missed it. This is a modular programmable synth modeled after Propellerheads Thor. Definitely my favorite free synth ever, up there with the top dogs in terms of power/flexibility. And it's open source!
13:50 *chef's kiss*
Yo😁 I like this video, it's a good video bro
This fucking fire sick dude you sick🔥🔥🔥
holy moly
Its is fucking INSANE THANK YOU
seeing dblue Glitch really brought back some memories
A few comments while I watch:
- The Christortion plugin is, I believe, using what's called Chebyshev distortion. If you ever come across that term, that's what it does.
- The "cabinet" option on Dirthead is a built-in cabinet simulator, it simulates the effects of the interior of an amp cabinet, which helps shape the sound coming out of it, making it softer and more like what you'd hear from an actual amp. So when you turn it off it turns out harsher.
will edit as something else comes up lol
fave plugs you mention that i love: sonigen modular, vital, sq8l (is a is a software model of Ensoniq's classic 1980s synth SQ80 and not a rompler as you say), Tyrell N6, Tridirt, Twin Delay and RetroDelay. Too bad they are only 32bit pliugs, except for Tyrell N6. U-he has some more amazing free ones, included in the computer music magazine. Those are stripped down versions of his commercially available plugs. I even prefer the more simple versions in some cases. ZebraCM and BazilleCM are just amazing.
Hey, great video man!!! I love the ranking. But I really love Ezharm32. I don't really know a lot of microtonal tools so simple to use as yours. Please finish it or put the beta somewhere because it's great and I need it
I went ahead and uploaded them for you. gl!

1:15:55 I own a real K1, I didn't know about this plugin. Looks pretty professional!
great list
Great video. I get my plugins by illegitimate means... I remember some of these though
im only 7:38 in and i already love this guys vibe
* twidles a few knobs _IT'S FIIIINE_
If I see Bushladen on the thumbnail it's always an instant click
lmao, i have that thumbnail on an automatic A/B comparison with the saddest looking plugin i could find and buushladen is losing, so that may be subject to change :P
Reavolution is awesome
Not a tracker composer or a composer at all myself (but I like to do some tunes occasionally c:), but the work put into this and diversity of plugins is quite frankly insane. Good damn job, probably the most helpful video ever to people who want to learn of new plugins!!
I have a question though, I wanted to try some of the plugins myself but I can't find links that you said are in the spreadsheet, are they not linked yet or did I not understand something?
thx
@@scibot9000 Oh alright, it's fine! I'll do my research
Delay Lama cracked me up
DELAY LAMA STANS RISE UP
legend
Don't delete this video thanks
Some of the sounds are straight from my thoughts
Justice for *the Cheese Machine!*
let's see what did i rate it... oh F? lol
yeah that was too harsh, whoops. I'm bad at these
it's still kinda mid/low tier tho imo. narrow use case and "just ok"
I always just find presets for dexed cuz it gives me a headache trying to tinker myself
how dare you put my beloved dfx scrubby in f tier thats the best plugin of all time
yeah it felt kinda weird because the dfx plugins are really good otherwise! I just can not figure out how to get anything usable out of scrubby :(
bro held that megalovania in for 109 minutes
historical
i loved crystal back in the day
crystal is like crazy powerful
yooo instant subscribe!
Adonis is an FM synth, there are plenty of them that have a better UI while also still having the voice structure functionality!
7 hour vid and im not in there ive never been more ashamed lol
unfortunately, I haven't tried every single VST that exists 😔
COMET'S TAIL PLUGINS??? YOOOO
I feel like this video would have massively benefited from an E tier :) esp since C seems pretty broad
I struggle when it comes to rating and ranking things! I took some solace in the broadness of C tier lol
