Way back in 2019, Behringer asked its Facebook fans what they thought about the idea of the company creating its own range of VST plugins, and a few months later, it claimed to be working on a free DAW that would come with a selection of effects and instruments built in. We’ve yet to see any evidence of this, but Behringer has now released a free VST synth known as Vintage.
As its name suggests, this is modelled on the classic analogue synths of the ‘70s and ‘80; unlike many of Behringer’s hardware synths, though, it isn’t a direct emulation of any specific product. The ‘wooden’ end cheeks are there to emphasise the plugin’s all-round ‘vintageness’, and the interface is scalable.
