Find tools by what they do. Each category notes what to check before buying.
Instruments
Synths80on saleSoftware instruments that build sound from oscillators and filters. Wavetable, analog-modelled and FM synths each excel at different sounds; check the synthesis method and whether the bundled presets suit your genre.
Drums & percussion58on saleAcoustic drum libraries, drum machines and drum synths. For acoustic kits look at kit count and mic control; for electronic ones, at the pattern tools and sound shaping.
Pianos & keys24on saleAcoustic pianos, electric pianos and organs. Larger sample sets tend to be more expressive but cost more disk space and CPU, so check the system requirements too.
Orchestral & cinematic12on saleStrings, brass, woodwinds, choirs and cinematic tools for scoring. Many require Kontakt — check whether the free Player is enough or the full version is needed.
Guitar & bass6on saleInstruments for programming guitar and bass parts without playing them. Some perform chords and riffs for you; others are played note by note.
Other instruments62on saleVocal instruments, world instruments, workstations, samplers and other instruments.Effects
EQ62on saleShape the balance of frequencies to clear up mud or harshness. Clean surgical EQs and coloured analog models do different jobs, and many people use both.
Compressors & dynamics138on saleCompressors, gates, transient shapers and channel strips. With hardware models the character is part of the point, so listen to demos before buying.
Reverb & delay71on saleReverbs, delays and echoes that add space. Natural room reverbs and big creative ones suit very different jobs.
Saturation & distortion70on saleAdd harmonics for warmth, weight or grit — from subtle tape and tube colour to full distortion.
Amp simulators23on saleRecreate amps, cabinets and pedals for guitar and bass plugged straight into the computer. Check which amps are modelled and whether you can load your own cabinet IRs.
Modulation & creative FX84on saleChorus, phaser and other modulation, filters, granular processors and multi-effects for transforming sound.
Vocal processing54on salePitch correction, harmonisers, voice changers and de-essers. Automatic tools are fast; graphical editors are slower but more precise.
Mastering & limiters30on saleTools for the final stage of a track: limiters for loudness, assistants that suggest a balance, and stereo processors.
Meters, analysis & utilities40on saleMeters, analysers, referencing and routing tools. They don't change the sound, but they make mix decisions easier.Samples, tools & bundles
Composition & MIDI tools15on saleChord, melody and bassline generators and MIDI processors. Being able to drag the result straight into your DAW makes a big difference.
Samples & presets252on saleLoops, one-shots and preset packs. Preset packs usually need the host synth or instrument, so check compatibility.
Bundles159on saleSeveral products sold together. Often cheaper than buying singly, but compare against the price of the one or two you actually want.
Other6on saleDAWs, courses and anything else.
