If you want to make EDM or others...
Oh my goodness... Already!
[Oh my goodness in slow mo]
If you want to make EDM or other genres of electronic music
but can't afford to get plugins like Nexus, Serum, or Sylenth,
this video is just the thing you need.
I'll be showing you the best free synthesizers to make music with,
each having a small demo track to show you how they sound.
Stick around.
Hey everyone, Jake from Transverse Audio here.
These plugins are not ordered by how good they are and the percussion I'll be using comes free with FL Studio.
The download links are all in the description below.
The first one on the list is Kairatu by Futucraft and is available as AU and VST.
There are a lot of unique sounds packed into this with its presets alone.
You can access the presets by either using the window here, which displays them by category.
Or, by clicking on the preset name here, which will open up a menu with all of them at once.
Now, the example I'm gonna show you is more of an electronic track
so you really see how unique it can be, right out of the box.

Up next is a synth called Helm by Matt Tytel,
which is kind of like Massive as you have the ability to link parameters together to be modulated.
To do that you just need to click a helmet and then move a parameter and it automatically links them together.
To disconnect it, right-click to see the option.
Overall, it's a great looking synth
with lots of presets and is available as VST, AU, and LV2.
To access the presets, click on the hint panel on the top left of the plugin.
From there you can have access to all of them or refine it down to only show specific categories.
Now for an example of what you can get out of this right away.

Alright, I thought that synth was really cool.
If you did too, leave a link below...
not leave a link... What am I sayin?!
*Laughs in Canadian* ...
Leave a like on the video.
Don't let the graphics fool you.
Synth1 by Ichiro Toda is a very versatile plugin that gets you both retro and somewhat modern sounds.
Available as VST and AU in both 64 and 32 bit,
this is one of the most widely used free synthesizers out there.
There is a huge community where you can find tonnes of presets either on the same page you download it on
or over on KVR under the Banks and Patches tab for the plugin.
As for the presets that come with it, you'll need to run initsettings.exe for them to actually show up.
The first time I gave this plugin a try, I didn't know about this for over a year
and it led me to just neglect it.
But, after discovering it, those presets sound great.
Take a listen.

The next plugin is called Tunefish4 by Braincontrol.
Available as VSTi and AU, this synth is really impressive.
Although it only has 67 presets, they really have some character to them.
The percussion is crisp and the sound effects are quite unique.
A cool feature is the ability to arrange your effect stack,
basically the order the signal passes through each effect.
Another one is the mod matrix, allowing you to link parameters to an LFO or ADSR.
Let's check out the demo.

The last is Phutura by Phuturetone.
This is a synth that is simple yet offers pretty good sounds for EDM.
On the download page, the first option you see for Phutura is for Native Instruments' Reaktor
so just scroll down to the bottom to get the 32-bit VST.
And it is only available for Windows, let's check it out.

As I said about Synth1, you can get additional preset banks for many other synths from KRV
under the Banks and Patches tab for each plugin.
And hey, if you want to get more involved, check out the community tab on my channel.
There you'll find polls to help bring you better content, motivational tips, blog posts,
and questions that everyone can contribute to, to help each other.
With that, I hope you enjoyed.
As always, thanks for watching.
