Behringer Free Vintage Synth
Feel the Soul of Vintage Synthesizers
In 2019, Behringer asked his Facebook fans what they thought about the idea of creating his own range of VST plugins, and a few months later he claimed to be working on a free DAW with built-in effects and instruments. There’s no sign of this yet, but Behringer has released a free VST synth called Vintage.
Vintage – A Free VST Synthesizer Inspired by Classics
Vintage, as the name suggests, is inspired by the classic analog synthesizers of the ’70s and ’80s. Unlike many of Behringer’s hardware synthesizers, it is not a direct emulation of any specific product. The interface is scalable and has a “vintage” design with wooden details.
You get a pair of fully synchronized oscillators, two LFOs, a pair of filters, and the same number of envelopes. If you want to download Vintage (it runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU formats), all you need to do is provide your details on the Behringer website.
