A list of the best free plugins i've used & heard about! There's no need to spend on fancy equipment and plugins when there's so many great sounding VSTs out there to download & use.
1 - Dexed
Emulating Yamaha's DX7, one of the greatest synths ever made, Dexed is a free multi-platform FM synth

2 - Digits
Based on the Casio CZ range, Digits is a phase distortion synth that is super minimal & way easier to program than a CZ (believe me, I owned one!)
