Questions
Are these FL Studio plugins really free?
Yes, every plugin on this list has a free version you can download today. Some (like SCRAMBLE) also have an optional paid upgrade.
Do they work in FL Studio, Logic and Ableton?
Most are VST3 and AU, so they load in all three. Check each maker's page for your system; a few are Windows-only or Mac-only.
Why is SCRAMBLE first?
It's our plugin, so we put it first, and we say so. Everything else is listed because producers actually use it.
