Tweakbench VST, 100% Free

If you are a cheap-ass music producer (aren't we all) looking for some nice free plug-ins, I highly recommend taking a look at the Tweakbench bundle. Tweakbench is a site run by a guy named Aaron Rutledge, a VST software designer who develops high-quality freeware. I have used some of his applications in my work. There are both VST Instruments and Effects available for free. They have a very unique sound, especially good for indie/electro styles IMO but can be useful in many situations.

One that I particularly find interesting is the padawan vst (pictured below). Has some interesting sounds with an ambient texture.



"Padawan is a hybrid synthesizer inteded for pad and ambient sound creation. the first oscialltor is analog style, while the second is based on wavetables. there are some nice modulation options, all synced to host tempo. for effects there is a nice stereo chorus and a simple reverb" - Tweakbench Website

Definitely check it out. For more information, visit the Tweakbench website:
