Descripción
Full Bucket has a whole line-up of free plugins for Windows and Mac, built around classic synth and effect ideas. Sensationally good sounding simulations. Many packed with extra features as well, like original sysex import or more polyphony. Even if many of these aren't carbon copy emulations they offer tremendous value since they sound so good and vintage.
Some of them ARE actually very close to the original synth as well. Again for FREE.
A lot of paid plugins are trading on “mojo,” branding and nostalgia at inflated prices, but that strategy fails pretty flat on its head when Full Bucket is offering theirs for NOTHING. This is a no-brainer.
My position today: I no longer have any desire to collect vintage hardware synths.
After almost 10 years of doing vintage gear porn I'd rather focus on making more music. Working on my channel has suppressed that desire and talent for far too long now.
Hardware synths were once magical things to me. Objects of desire. Like wands to make my dreams come true. That magic has now gone. Synths are now tools. My mind and heart, my creativity, is my magic wand now and to wield that wand I'm more than happy to use plugins.
And with these free plugins from Full Bucket I don't have to spend a fortune for certain types of sound.
Of course, Full Bucket don't have everything, but what they have is sensational. Definitely worth a check.
I'm not sponsored in any way by Full Bucket. I hardly think they know who I am.
When plugins are free and I use them myself (a lot), I make the occasional video to let other people in on it. That's only fair.
