Funky Clavinet style free vst instrument,
‘This plugin emulates the ultra-funky sound of the Hohner Clavinet, forever associated with Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”.
The synth engine is based on a physical modeling algorithm, faithfully reproducing the strings vibration and the 2 pickups of the Clavinet Model C. Special attention has been given to reproduce the non-linear interferences in strings decay, for an even more realistic sound. The characteristic “click” sound on key release is also emulated.
A built-in wah-wah effect with selectable manual/autowah mode is also included.
TickyClav will cover all your funk needs, at an unbeatable price (it’s free !).’

AlgoMusics free VST plugin: SynthString
Very nice sounding synth string emulator. Warm pads and quite low usage on the CPU.
Worth a bit of experimenting with.
Plenty of parameters to mess with.
‘Emulation (no samples here!) of those string synthesizers of the late 70′s made famous by ARP and Solina. It features a full ADSR envelope generator, a small effect section with a phaser, a delay and of course the ‘ensemble’ effect.’

Free to download 4Front VSTi Bass plugin,
Similar to 4Fronts Piano plugin this plugin also has no settings or presets.
It’s a staright down the line bass plugin.
Sounds good as well.
According to 4Front this bass vst like the piano version is a mix of sample synthesized sound. The original string excitation was sampled, and then the sound was modeled.
The bass guitars range was artifically extended up and down, so that higher notes and parts could be played as well.
