Regarding plugins, there must be some others, but the one I can think of is the Protect module inside Nugen’s sigmod plugin. Source: about 3 years ago

I haven't heard of, or experienced this, but if it's a big concern, consider Nugen Sigmod, to protect your outs (it's the only Nugen plugin in my price range). I always have it on my main out, and mostly use it for quick mono check with a simulated Avantone frequency response. Nugen's on the crazy-pro side of pricing schemes, so hopefully there are other, free plugins out there that do the same thing. Maybe... Source: about 3 years ago

Since ice9 is discontinued, try the Protect module in https://nugenaudio.com/sigmod/. Source: about 3 years ago

This was the first subtractive snth I got really into. It's so good! Matt Tytel also made an open source wave table synth called vital that I'm also in love with that you can find here: https://vital.audio/ git repo is here: https://github.com/mtytel/vital. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Don't forget Vital which is Matt's newer synth. It continues to be open-source as well. https://vital.audio/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Good stuff! I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano! A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Serge is great, but Vital whips the llama's ass: https://vital.audio/ There was a time when Sylenth and Serum-quality synthesizers didn't exist for free. Back then, shit like Serge and Helm were really the best you could rely on. Maybe a few free U-HE plugins or your DAW defaults. Today's producers are downright spoiled with so many excellent free options! - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Download Vital Synth from https://vital.audio/ and install it. It usually goes into some VST folder. Then point Reaper (under settings/preferences plugins location) to that folder so it can find it. Source: 12 months ago
