The purpose of this page is to draw up a list of free VST, to use in allgear/wildchip format for example. Everything listed here should be FREE / shareware available to donload online.
Compatibility
Most DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation, n00b!) like Ableton, Cubase, Fruity Loops, LMMS, Reaper or Renoise can use VST plugins. They can be instruments or effects. Be careful, some DAWs like Ableton require 64 bits VST, unless you use a 32 bit bridge. VSTs marked with (64b) are 64 bits
