Years back I was a regular subscriber to [Computer Music](ComputerMusicMagazine). They had a [Cover DVD]() that contained samples, video masterclasses and, of course, a bundle of free Vsts.

These obviously require [Reaper](/aw/music/daw/reaper), but, once you have Reaper (and I love Reaper), there are a truckload of [JSFX](/aw/music/daw/reaper/JSFX) plugins, written in a language called [EEL](/aw/music/daw/reaper/EEL) which allows you to write a plugin in a few lines, and see and hear the results immediately. Often, if you know *exactly* what you are after, you can write a simple specialised [JSFX]() plugin to do exactly that task and nothing much else, compared to a Vst author who has to guess what the myriad users might want.
