The free Kia Instrument is a VST plugin for both Windows & MacOSX (works in all DAWs). The original version was taken down due to possible trademark infringements but they did some minor tweaking. However, it's still a mono synth (sadly). I do enjoy the reorganization of the patches. It seems more useful than last time. What do you think??

Borsta is a brush style percussive loop VST plugin that works on both Windows & MacOSX (in all DAWs)! It can basically enhance simple drum lines using one finger. I'll demonstrate it using the MPC Live 2 & the MPC software (both trap & house). Borsta has tons of presets & can be manipulated too. My only complaint is the degree of difficulty on the sequencer & wonky tempo hosting (very noticeable in the MPC software but not game breaking. Let me know how you feel in the comments!

Thenatan Hatz is a VST Plugin (for both Windows & MacOSX) that helps you create easy hi hat patterns in seconds!!! I'll demonstrate how it works in FL Studio 20.9 (but it works in all DAWS). It's essentially a note repeater sampler based plugin. It's obvious that Thenatan was inspired by hardware based production functions like "note repeat" on the AKAI MPC. Which makes it a great companion for Image-line FL Studio. Let me know what you think in the comments!
