Hi all,
Looking for some help in finding instrument plugins that are clean. There are plenty of plugins out there, but there loaded up with distortion and other effects.
All I want is a clean piano, guitar, bass & maybe some strings.
The Zynaddsubfx has a good amount of instrument banks that can be used but I can't seem to get it so that Reaper will recognize it as a plugin.
I can run it with jack and have it tied into an input on Reaper and then record it but that's not what I want to do. I want to use it as a plugin in Reaper so that I can enter midi notes via the piano roll onto the midi track.
The U-he plugins work fine and are recognized by Reaper but all of the sounds are full of effects that I don't want. I suppose I could play with the controls on the GUI's and get rid of the stuff but these are demo versions and I don't want to waste time on something that I'm not planning on keeping & it's much easier to use something that is already close to what I need if I can find it.
I'm using ubuntu studio 17.1 and Reaper native linux runs fine on it.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
