In this thread I intend to create 2 lists of VST plugins of instruments that meet these premises:
- They must be VST2 (for the moment) of 64bit, specifically with .dll extension for Windows 10 (there will usually be a version for others OS).
- The first list should be plugins compatible with velocity sensitivity. The plugin must have a wheel or something similar to be able to increase or decrease the sensitivity to the pulsation velocity, or at least set to accept the maximum velocity range (0 to 127).
- The second list must be compatible with the programs that Renoise can display on the Plugins tab (drop-down list on the left called “Program”).
Generally, the best plugins for Renoise are the 64bit plugins that are in the 2 lists.
If anyone knows any VSTi that meets both properties, name it in the thread and I will add it to the 2 lists below. These listings can help you find better the complements for instruments that best fit Renoise.
I will also add the 32-bit ones that are still interesting to me (with the hope that Renoise will work well again with the 32bit plugins). There are still many very interesting 32bit VSTi plugins, but I will not add them to the lists.
Those that are not marked are 64bit. It doesn’t matter if they are paid or free, but they must have a minimum quality.
