Free Plugins

Legacy Plugin Archive

Free legacy VST and AU plugins from the Audio Damage back catalog: 25 years of discontinued synths, drum machines, filters, distortions, reverbs, delays, and modulation effects, available as free downloads for macOS and Windows.

These plugins have been discontinued or replaced by newer versions. They are provided free, as-is, with no support. Most still run on modern systems. Some of the oldest will not. Each installer contains VST2.4 and, in most cases, AU. (Mayhem is so old it has OS9 and RTAS.) There are no VST3, AAX, or Linux builds in the legacy archive. If a registration code is required, it is included in the Zip.

Where we've made a current version of a plugin, it's linked beside the original with its price. The current versions add VST3, AAX, native Apple Silicon and Linux builds, and each one has a free demo.
